Inside Neymar’s amazing watch collection, including a rare £1.5m Richard Mille timepiece that is hand painted
HE is one of the game’s biggest and wealthiest superstars, who loves the finer things in life.
Brazilian superstar Neymar transcends football, mingles with the fashion set and is his country’s biggest celebrity.
His football career has seen him earn riches beyond anyone’s wild imaginations – and he is believed to have made a £160million fortune.
He has spent that cash on an incredible car collection, while he also lives in a stunning £2.5million Brazilian mansion.
The fashionable footballer is also a connoisseur of expensive watches, from Rolex to Richard Mille.
Here’s how he decorates his wrist.
Richard Mille 68-01 Cyril Kongo, £1.5million
With only 30 made in the world, this Richard Mille is as much a collector’s item as it is priceless.
Hand painted by graffiti artist Cyril Phan, who went under the alias ‘Kongo’, each watch has been carefully sprayed.
Phan had to use a special airbrush to craft the unique detail slowly on the face and hands, not to jeopardise the calibre’s equilibrium.
Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Batman’, £16,250
Neymar has, for a long time, had an obsession with DC Comics hero Batman.

So, of course he would be drawn to Rolex’s tribute to the caped crusader.
It’s Neymar’s go-to watch when he’s doing press conferences.
Rolex Daytona ‘Eye of the Tiger’, £400,000
The Eye of the Tiger is a favourite among sports stars.
Man City ace Erling Haaland has been sporting one on his wrist, while boxing legend Floyd Mayweather – a fine purveyor of all things wealthy – boasts one.
Neymar showed his off when he dressed up as The Joker for Halloween.
Richard Mille 052 Tourbillon Skull, £1.6million
The second Richard Mille in Neymar’s collection is his most expensive.
Costing a mega £1.6million, it’s certainly the most edgy with a skull design dominating the face.
Made in 2012, this titanium piece was limited to just 21 pieces.
Rolex Daytona 116505BK, £100,000
This classy Daytona is made with 18kt rose gold.
It officially debuted at the French Open in 2010, and has become a gentleman’s watch.
The dial is a fetching black and gold, and it also features an Oysterlock bracelet with Easylink.
Rolex Daytona ‘John Mayer Dial’, £34,000
Incredibly rare, the ‘John Mayer Dial’ Rolex will only rise in value because it was discontinued.
Worth noting, it was never marketed as the ‘John Mayer Dial’.
That nickname only began when the American singer showed off his Rolex Daytona with the green face during an interview, adding his opinion that it was great value at £34,000.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph, £53,000
When Neymar made his big baby reveal with girlfriend Bruna Biancardi back in April, he did flashing a very classy Audemars Piguet watch.
This Royal Oak comes in 18kt yellow gold and features a stunning ‘Tapisserie Dial’.
The octagonal bezel with its eight hexagonal screws have become the collection’s trademark.
