Education
Neymar Jr. did not pursue formal higher education; he focused on football from a young age in Santos’ youth system and turned professional at 17. He reportedly attended school in São Vicente/Santos before football commitments took precedence.
Food Habits
Neymar Jr. eats with one eye on performance and the other on taste. His daily diet is built around lean proteins like turkey, white fish, and eggs, matched with complex carbs such as sweet potatoes and a steady rotation of greens. Breakfast often starts with three fried eggs and spinach, though he’ll sometimes switch it up with a bowl of cereal when he wants something lighter. Lunch and dinner usually feature turkey meatballs, fish, or chicken alongside asparagus or cabbage—meals carefully designed to keep him explosive on the field and quick to recover.
In between, Neymar fuels up with whey shakes, nuts, seeds, or even a spoonful of peanut butter for a quick energy boost. His macros are structured—high carbs, moderate protein, lower fat—but he doesn’t shy away from cravings. Sushi is his go-to indulgence, and he enjoys lasagna or risotto when he wants comfort food.
Hobbies
Neymar Jr. has always kept life playful, even off the pitch. When he’s not training or competing, he dives into gaming marathons—FIFA and Call of Duty are his favorites—and he often mixes that competitive streak with poker nights among friends. Poker, in particular, has become one of his signature pastimes, often popping up in lifestyle roundups about him.
But Neymar’s world isn’t just controllers and cards. He lives with music on in the background, vibing to different playlists, and he never says no to an action or comedy flick at the cinema. True to his roots, he can’t resist ball tricks—constantly juggling, freestyling, or playing futtoc (a mix of football and table tennis) during downtime. And at the end of the day, what he treasures most is simple: hanging out with close friends, laughing with family, and spending time with his son whenever he’s home.
Tattoo
He did 46 tattoos on his body.

Net Worth 2025
$400 million
As of December 2025, it’s estimated that Julia Roberts has a net worth of about $250 million, based on information from different reliable sources.. Let’s break down his earnings.
1. Club Salaries & Contracts
Neymar’s biggest income source has always been his football contracts. His career has been marked by some of the most lucrative deals in sports history.
-
Barcelona (2013–2017): Neymar earned around €20–25 million annually including bonuses. His salary at Barcelona wasn’t the highest in the squad, but sponsorships and image rights made up the difference.
-
Paris Saint-Germain (2017–2023): His record-breaking €222 million transfer from Barça also came with a massive pay rise. Neymar earned an estimated €36.8 million per year (approx. US$40 million) at PSG, making him one of the highest-paid footballers at the time.
-
Al Hilal (2023–2024): His move to Saudi Arabia was a financial leap. His contract reportedly offered US$150 million per year, including salary, signing bonuses, and commercial deals attached to the Saudi Pro League project. Even though injuries limited his time there, Neymar still pocketed an estimated US$156 million in about 18 months, including a settlement payout when the contract was cut short.
👉 How this works: Club salaries aren’t just a flat paycheck. Neymar’s deals include appearance fees, goal/assist bonuses, Champions League progress bonuses, and image-rights clauses (clubs pay to use his image in campaigns).
2. Endorsements & Sponsorships
Off the pitch, Neymar is a marketing machine. His charisma, flair, and global fan base make him irresistible to brands.
-
Puma: After a long partnership with Nike, Neymar signed a blockbuster deal with Puma in 2020, worth an estimated US$25–30 million annually, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in sponsorship deals.
-
Other Partners: He has worked with Red Bull, Beats by Dre, Qatar Airways, Mastercard, Gillette, and Epic Games (Fortnite featured Neymar as a playable character).
-
Annual Earnings: Forbes consistently places his off-field income at about US$30 million per year, mostly from endorsements.
👉 How this works: Brands pay Neymar for global campaigns, product launches, and digital reach. His social media presence (over 200M+ followers on Instagram alone) allows brands to directly tap into his fan base.
3. Settlements, Bonuses & Image Rights
Sometimes Neymar makes money even when things don’t go smoothly.
-
Al Hilal Settlement: Upon leaving Saudi Arabia earlier than expected, Neymar reportedly received between £24–56 million as part of a negotiated settlement.
-
Barcelona & PSG Contract Clauses: Both clubs had multiple image-rights arrangements with Neymar. This means he earned extra millions from shirt sales, posters, and promotional use of his face and name.
👉 How this works: Players of Neymar’s stature don’t just play football; their name is a brand. Clubs often split merchandising profits and pay for “rights” to use the player’s image in marketing.
4. Investments & Business Ventures
Though not as publicized as Cristiano Ronaldo’s hotels or Messi’s clothing lines, Neymar has invested in various areas:
-
Instituto Neymar Jr.: While primarily a charitable project, his foundation also raises his profile and brand value, attracting sponsors and benefactors.
-
Esports & Gaming: Neymar is a known gamer and poker player. He has participated in global poker tournaments, some with prize pools in the millions. Though poker is not his main income stream, it complements his public persona.
-
Real Estate & Other Ventures: Reports suggest Neymar has invested in luxury real estate in Brazil, Paris, and Los Angeles.
👉 How this works: These ventures diversify his portfolio, reduce reliance on football salaries, and keep his name relevant beyond the pitch.
