What is Neymar’s net worth?
Neymar has an estimated net worth of $200 million as of April 2024. That equates to around £160m and €187m in other major currencies.
How much does Neymar earn?
Neymar reportedly earns a base salary of $160m per year (£128m/€150m) with Al-Hilal.
In 2023, Forbes reported that Neymar earned $85m, with $50m of that coming from his PSG salary and a further $35m from endorsements.
He was the 12th-highest paid athlete in the world in 2023, according to Forbes.
Who sponsors Neymar?
Neymar made a big move off the pitch when he swapped Nike for Puma in 2020. He was previously locked into an 11-year deal with Nike that was due to end in 2022, worth an incredible $105m. However, the two parties mutually agreed to end their partnership when talks over a renewal broke down.
As well as wearing Puma boots, Neymar also promotes lifestyle, training, footwear and apparel products for the brand.
“I grew up watching videos of great football legends such as Pelé, Cruyff, Matthäus, Eusébio and Maradona,” he said.
“These were the kings of the pitch, the kings of my sport. I wish to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the pitch.
“They each played in Puma, and each of them created their magic in the king.”
Neymar has a host of other endorsement deals and commercial partners, which nicely tops up his Al-Hilal salary.
He has recently worked with the likes of Red Bull, Beats Electronics, PokerStars, Epic Games, Konami, Qatar Airways, Mastercard, DAZN, Electronic Arts, Gillette and TCL.
Going further back, there are several other notable companies he has represented across the globe, all of which have contributed to significantly boosting his net worth.
