In a remarkable turn of events, a Brazilian billionaire has reportedly bequeathed his entire fortune, estimated at approximately £846 million ($1 billion), to football superstar Neymar Jr.

According to local news outlet RIC, the unnamed businessman, who passed away in 2023, named Neymar as the sole heir to his substantial estate despite having never met the renowned athlete. The will, formalised on June 12 at a notary‘s office in Porto Alegre, Brazil, was authenticated in front of two witnesses.

Local media reports suggest that the billionaire made this extraordinary decision because he admires Neymar‘s strong family ties, particularly his relationship with his father, Neymar Sr., which reminds him of his late father.

At 33 years old, Neymar has yet to comment publicly on the bequest; however, friends close to the player indicate that he plans to honour the billionaire’s legacy through charitable initiatives and investments in Brazilian youth sports.

The star forward recently renewed his contract with Santos, his boyhood club, and is poised to represent Brazil’s national team at the 2026 World Cup.

The inheritance is pending clearance from Brazilian courts, which must validate the will and determine Neymar‘s legal right to the vast fortune. The billionaire‘s family has already contested the will, potentially igniting a landmark legal battle over testamentary freedom versus familial obligation.

If the inheritance is approved, it would rank as one of the most significant wealth transfers from a private individual to a sports personality in history. Neymar’s plans for the fortune are highly anticipated, with many speculating he will utilise it to enhance his philanthropic efforts and solidify his legacy within Brazilian football.
