Neymar Net Worth

GOLDEN GOOSE: Neymar is one of the most marketable athletes in the world

Brazil football sensation Neymar, 22, may have the word ‘Junior’ attached to his name but his earnings are certainly not what you would expect from a junior.

The outrageously talented Brazilian burst onto the world scene at the tender age of 18 with skills to kill for and hasn’t looked back since then. And with great skills comes great money (forgive me for the Spideman reference) which is something Neymar has in abundance right now.

The Barcelona forward’s net worth is pegged at around $50 million some of which comes from his $25 million salary and the rest, according to magazine Fortune, comes from endorsements which reportedly earn him a cool $12 million.

Neymar has sponsorship deals with American sportswear manufacturer Nike, Vokswagen, Panasonic, Drakkar Noir – who manufactures Neymar’s own line of perfume, Castrol, PayPal, Beats by Dr.Dre, AIR Mattresses, CoverGirl cosmetics and Police sunglasses – making Neymar one of the most marketable athletes in the world.

The Brazilian has also made a few smart investments and set up a few businesses which include his own burger chain strangely called the ‘Fat Neymar Burger’ chain, his own brand of Vodka called Pure Wonderneymar – Brazil, his own fashion line called Neymar Seduction and his own perfume for kids called With Love From Neymar.

And the man dubbed as the next Pele sure knows how to spend all his loot and has splashed cash on numerous goodies like a $2 million mansion is Sao Paolo, a Porsche Panama Turbo which sells for around $500,000 and a second hand Italian yacht worth a whooping $8 million.

The forward’s captivating performance in the World Cup held in his homeland is bound to land him more offers so you can expect to see his face on many more products once he returns from injury. Besides a football, Neymar really has the world at his feet.
