A Brazilian businessman, who died at 31, left “all his worldly possessions” worth over $1.1 billion to soccer star Neymar. The Brazilian soccer player, 33, who is already worth $450 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, allegedly had never even met the unidentified billionaire. The man was reportedly childless and single. The will was formalized at Porto Alegre, a city in the same state the deceased businessman was from, and authenticated on June 12 with allegedly two witnesses present. However, Brazilian courts still need to clear it to confirm Neymar as the sole heir to the fortune, which could potentially face legal complications. Neymar, who plays for the state of São Paulo-based team Santos FC, has not commented publicly on the report. According to local media reports, the billionaire chose Neymar because he “identifies with [him] on a personal level.” The soccer star’s close relationship with his father, Neymar Sr., is said to be the inspiration behind the billionaire’s decision, since it “reminds him of his own late father.”
