Neymar is one of the most famous a richest player in the whole world. The attacker gains fortunes with his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, with his sponsorships and with the transfers made during his careers, as the one from FC Barcelona to PSG for $225 million to be the most expensive player ever.

But Ney has another big hobby aside from playing soccer, his professional job. The attacker loves to play poker. It is something that he does in his free time, not just with friends and companions, but also with pro players who helped him to be a better player as well.

After many years as a player, the idol has improved his game and is not very far away from those who play professionally. He even has some sponsorship with a gambling house that leaves him fortune every year. It is common to see on his social media how he reunites to play tournaments or exhibitions.

But if Neymar decides to quit soccer, could he really live from poker? It is probably that yes. Just for being him, he will have other sponsorships that permitted him to continue with his life just as it is. Nevertheless, the fortunes that soccer gives to their pro-players is far away from what poker pays to their best ones.
