In an unusual case that has drawn international attention, a Brazilian billionaire has left his entire fortune to footballer Neymar, despite never having met him. The will, registered in June 2025 in Porto Alegre, names the 33-year-old forward as the sole beneficiary of an estate valued at around £752 million.
While the sum has made global headlines, the inheritance is far from certain. The document must be approved by Brazilian courts, and potential disputes from the billionaire's relatives or the tax authorities could complicate the process. Neymar himself has not confirmed whether he intends to accept the bequest.
