Okay I might be wildly wrong then.

However:
The "5 biggest" major cities in Brazil is only about 23million people (out of 212m for brazil).

23 million?  Sao Paulo is damn near that by itself. Don't use municipal city limits for population figures unless you need a direct municipal to municipal comparison.

Sao Paulo - 21.5 million.
Rio de Janeiro - 12.3 million.
Belo Horizonte - 5.2 million.
Brasilia - 4.3 million.
Salvador - 4.1 million.

That's 47.5 million.  Double that 23 million figure.

The study mentioned "the 5 major cities"
If you google population of Sao Paulo, you get a answear saying 12,18.
I did the same for the 4 other major cities.
Which was how I arrived at 23m.
