Neymar has recently inherited a substantial fortune. In June 2025, a 31-year-old Brazilian businessman from Porto Alegre, who had no children or close family, named Neymar as the sole heir in his will. The estimated value of the inheritance is approximately $1 billion USD (around £846 million) .
The businessman, who remains anonymous, cited his admiration for Neymar’s humility and his close relationship with his father as reasons for the decision. He felt a personal connection to Neymar’s values and wanted to ensure his wealth went to someone he respected, rather than to the government or distant relatives .
The will, registered in Porto Alegre on June 12, 2025, is currently under review by Brazilian courts to verify Neymar’s acceptance. If approved, the inheritance will include various assets such as properties, investments, and company shares .
As of now, Neymar has not publicly commented on the inheritance. His legal team has not yet received official notification, and the process is still pending legal approval
