It’s only natural that Neymar’s net worth reflects his standing as one of the top soccer players in the world. The professional footballer’s wage today places him among the world’s highest-paid athletes—but how much is Neymar worth?
Neymar, whose full name is Neymar da Silva Santos Junior, was born in Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil, on February 5, 1992. After seeing his son’s ability for the sport, his father, Neymar Santos Sr., swiftly became his son’s mentor. Neymar Jr. has been coached in soccer since he was a child. His family relocated to So Vicente, Brazil, when he was 11 years old, so he could join the Portuguesa Santista youth team.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Neymar’s annual salary is expected to be $78 million in 2022. This is a $2 million increase from Neymar’s salary of $76 million in 2021, according to Forbes. In May 2021, the professional footballer signed a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, extending his stay with the club until summer 2025.
According to Forbes, the contract has a number of potential performance bonuses, including a “huge” pay increase if he leads PSG to a Champions League victory. Neymar’s contract with PSG began in 2017 when he signed a $263 million transfer from Barcelona FC. As of 2022, Neymar’s net worth is $200 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
