Neymar Jr. has reportedly been designated as the sole heir to the entire fortune of an anonymous Brazilian billionaire, a development that could result in an astonishing financial windfall for the footballer.
According to a report from local outlet RIC, a 33-year-old man, who is believed to be single and childless, formalised his will in June at an office in Porto Alegre.
The article suggests that the billionaire chose Neymar as his sole heir due to a strong personal identification with the footballer, and admiration for his close relationship with his father, which reminded him of his own family bond.
Neymar, a father of four, has not yet commented publicly on this reported inheritance.
While the finalisation of such a substantial bequest could potentially face legal challenges, the scale of the inheritance is significant, with reports indicating that BD430 million - the billionaire's 'entire fortune' - has been left in the will.
Neymar already possesses an estimated net worth ranging between BD113.25m and BD124.43m.
