Brazilian billionaire who has never met Neymar reportedly gifted him his whole wealth.
According to local outlet RIC, the unnamed billionaire, who is said to be worth roughly £846 million, signed his will in Porto Alegre on June 12 in the presence of two witnesses.
The case is now pending approval from Brazilian judges, who will decide if Neymar can legitimately be recognised as the sole heir.
The billionaire, said to have been single and childless, allegedly chose Neymar because he admired the player’s close relationship with his father, Neymar Sr., which reminded him of his own late father.

Reports claim he also felt a personal connection with the 33-year-old forward, despite the two never meeting.
Neymar has yet to publicly comment on the reports. Even if approved, legal experts suggest the will could still face complications in court.
The winger returned to Brazil in January to rejoin his boyhood club Santos after a brief spell with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
He scored three goals in 14 appearances during the second half of the 2024/25 season, adding to the 136 goals he netted in 225 games during his first spell at Santos between 2009 and 2013.
