Brazilian football star Neymar Jr. has been named the heir to a $1.14 billion fortune by a billionaire he never met. The 33-year-old player was chosen as the sole heir by an anonymous single, childless billionaire who passed away recently. The will was made official in Porto Alegre on June 12th with two witnesses present. The deceased billionaire said he identified with Neymar on a personal level, especially admiring his close relationship with his father, which reminded him of his own late father.
The unknown man wrote in his will that he liked Neymar because "he's not self-serving, something rare these days." The inheritance includes various properties, investments, and shares in profitable companies. While Neymar already has a net worth of $300-330 million, this inheritance would make him a billionaire overnight. However, the will could face legal complications even if approved by Brazilian courts.
