Neymar Named as Sole Heir to Wealthy Brazilian's Fortune Despite Never Meeting

Neymar has never met the Brazilian businessman, who says he has health issues.

Neymar has been named as the sole heir to the fortune of a wealthy Brazilian - despite never meeting him.

The 33-year-old returned to Brazilian football in January with boyhood club Santos.

He has scored four goals in all competitions this season, having previously endured an injury-hit spell at Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.

Neymar suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury while on international duty with Brazil in October 2023, with his recovery taking an entire year.

He missed out on Brazil's latest World Cup qualifier squad selection with a minor muscle injury.

According to the Daily Mail, Neymar earns £32,500 per week at Santos.

Though that is exponentially boosted by image rights, sponsorship and other endorsement deals, his earnings are still a far cry away from the reported £80 million per year he earned while with Al Hilal.

Either way, Neymar isn't short of money - though one fan is so passionate in his support for him that he has decided to dedicate his entire will to Neymar.

According to Brazilian outlet GZH, the anonymous fan formalised his will arrangements on June 12, 2023.

The document states that Neymar will inherit properties, investments and shares belonging to the man, who lives in Rio Grande do Sul.

It isn't clear exactly how much financial value in assets that the man, who is said to be aged 32, holds - though reports that he is worth $1 billion are believed to be wide of the mark.

Explaining his decision in 2023, he said that he was 'not in very good health' and added that he 'identifies' with Neymar 'a lot'.

"I like Neymar," he told Brazilian outlet Metropoles. "I identify with him a lot.

"I also suffer from defamation, I am also very family-orientated and the relationship with his father reminds me a lot of mine with my father, who has already passed away.

"But above all, I know that, above all, he is not greedy, something a little rare nowadays."
