Vini Jr is the most valuable Brazilian in the world

Vini Jr is third on the list with an estimated value of 250.3 million euros, which corresponds to R $1.34 billion. He is very close to Manchester City's Haaland's valuation at €251.2 million. The first on the list is Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham, worth 267.5 million euros (R$1.44 billion). The only Brazilian who appears in the top 10 positions is Rodrygo, also from Real.
