Brazilian businessman leaves $1 billion fortune to Neymar in his will

The billionaire has stunned the whole world after naming Neymar as his fortune’s heir.

Brazil was taken aback when a 31-year-old Porto Alegre businessman named Neymar as the heir to his estimated 6.1 billion rand (about $1 billion USD) inheritance.

The Brazilian media site claims that even though the man has no family or professional connections to the football star, the will was formally recorded on June 12, 2025, according to GZHMore.

The unnamed businessman clarified that a feeling of emotional connection and appreciation was the driving force behind his choice.

“I like Neymar, I identify with him a lot,” he said, adding that he sees rare values ​​in the player and was particularly touched by Neymar’s close bond with his father.

Representatives for Neymar, however, have claimed that they have not yet been formally informed about the bequest.

Many people in Brazil are perplexed by the narrative and question if it’s an odd display of admiration or just the ultimate manifestation of the billionaire’s loneliness.

In Brazil, the revelation has generated a lot of conversation. Others wonder if the action captures the businessman’s affection towards the players, while others see it as a heartfelt homage to the former Barcelona player’s impact outside of sports.

Estate planning has previously been influenced by fandom. Another Brazilian admirer selected Neymar as the beneficiary of his will in 2023, citing similar challenges and appreciation for the star’s family values.

With the most recent event, the 33-year-old is once again at the centre of a narrative that combines issues of legacy, human connection, and celebrity influence.
