The Brazilian billionaire will give him all his inheritance, but the reason is revealed

According to Brazil's Forum magazine, a Brazilian billionaire has designated football superstar Neymar as the sole heir to all his property, although the two allegedly never met. Neymar, 33, will be given a huge fortune of more than $1 billion, according to the will.

Nemar's team news office recently responded in a brief statement that they have not received any official notice on the matter.

It is reported that the will was officially signed on June 12 at a notary office in Port Alegre, Brazil, and two witnesses were present. At present, the will still need to be approved by the Brazilian court before Neymar can be officially confirmed as the heir.

The rich man himself has no children and is single, and his health is not very good. He chose to donate the 6.1 billion Brazilian real estate (about 8 billion yuan) to Neymar because he "has a strong recognition of Neymar on a personal level." He admires Neymar's close family relationship, especially his relationship with his father, which reminds him of his late father. The will document stated that he believed Neymar was "not selfish, which is really rare in today's society."

It is reported that after spending a period of unsuccessful period at the Al-Hilal club in the Saudi Professional League, Neymar returned to Santos, the club where he started his career in January this year.

In the second half of the 2024-2025 season, he scored 3 goals in 14 appearances. Previously, he scored 136 goals in 225 games during his first period for Santos from 2009 to 2013.

In June this year, Neymar chose to renew his contract with Santos, which may pave the way for him to participate in next year's World Cup. In a statement posted on the club’s website, Neymar said: “I made a decision and I listened to my heart. Santos is not just my team, it is my home, my roots, my history and my life… Here I grew from a boy to a man, I was truly loved. Here I can be myself and truly happy. I also hope to realize my dreams that have not yet been fulfilled in my career.”

He has been fighting injuries for the 18 months he played in Saudi Arabia and now he hopes to maintain a consistent and stable form in Santos. He has not played for the Brazilian national team since his ACL injury in October 2023, but he remains the Brazilian national team's all-time top scorer, scoring a total of 79 goals. Neymar himself is one of the richest athletes in the world. According to Forbes estimates, he will become the third highest-paid footballer in 2024, second only to Ronaldo and Messi.
