A 31-year-old businessman from Rio Grande do Sul a private individual not previously known in public life has officially registered his will in Porto Alegre, declaring football superstar Neymar da Silva Santos Jr. as the sole heir to his entire fortune, valued at approximately $1 billion. The documents were notarized legally and the man reported his deteriorating health as the reason for ensuring his assets went to someone he genuinely respected.

Why He Chose Neymar

In a candid interview, the man cited deep personal identification with Neymar:

He, like Neymar, has faced defamation.

Both share deep ties to family and a strong bond with their fathers—Neymar’s father reminds him of his own late father.

He wanted to protect his wealth from going to the government or estranged relatives.

He described Neymar as “not greedy,” calling it a rare quality.

Legal Finality

This individual had previously attempted to gift his assets directly to Neymar but found no way. Creating a formal will, processed by a notary in Porto Alegre, provided the legal route he needed.
