Brazilian Billionaire Names Neymar Sole Heir to $1B Fortune Despite Never Meeting Him

A Brazilian billionaire from Rio Grande do Sul has shocked the country by naming football star Neymar Jr. as the sole heir to his vast fortune, estimated at up to $1 billion. According to reports, the man had never met Neymar but admired his humility, strong family ties, and ability to overcome public criticism.

The will, authenticated before a notary and two witnesses, now faces judicial scrutiny. Brazilian inheritance laws, taxation, and potential challenges from legal heirs could significantly complicate or reduce the inheritance. Neymar, who returned to Santos FC earlier this year, has yet to respond publicly.
