Brazilian football star Neymar stands to receive an estimated £846 million fortune from a wealthy Brazilian businessman.
In a surprising turn of events, Brazilian football star Neymar has been left an inheritance of approximately £846 million by an anonymous billionaire. The news, which has sent shockwaves through the football world, comes as Neymar continues to focus on his career and representing Brazil at the 2026 World Cup.
The inheritance, if confirmed, would be a significant addition to Neymar's wealth. The billionaire, who passed away recently, formalized his will in Porto Alegre, Brazil on June 12, 2025. The will includes property, investments, and company shares, but the identity of the beneficiary remains a mystery.
The will is currently with the Brazilian courts for them to decide if Neymar can be legally recognized as the sole heir. Even if the courts approve the will, legal experts suggest the process could still face delays, taxes, or disputes.
Neymar's focus, however, remains on his football career. His comeback to Santos earlier this year has been successful, with the football star scoring three goals in 14 appearances since his return to the club where he first made his name.
In 2024, Neymar earned £90.7m during his spell at Al-Hilal, making him the third-highest-paid footballer behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, according to Forbes. If the inheritance is confirmed, Neymar's status as a global football icon and one of the richest sports figures in history would be cemented.
The billionaire, who was single and childless, reportedly admired Neymar for his family values, particularly his close bond with his father, Neymar Sr. The will reportedly states that the billionaire found Neymar's connection with his father reminiscent of his own relationship with his late father.
Neymar has not commented on the reports of the inheritance. His focus remains on staying fit and ready to represent Brazil at the 2026 World Cup. The football world eagerly awaits the outcome of the court proceedings and the potential impact on Neymar's wealth and career.
