The purchase came after Neymar made headlines when he chartered a private plane to pick up Serbian model and former Big Brother contestant Soraya Vucelic, whom he met in Ibiza in the summer of 2014.

Early 2016, Neymar splashed £6million  for a second private jet , which was reportedly carried out by a company called Neymar Sport and Marketing.

4. David Beckham -Retired

One of the best retired footballers to never won a major international title with his country, Beckham’s career earnings have nonetheless enabled him to buy a private jet.

His Learjet was initially purchased to ease his frequent travel between his overseas playing commitments and his US-based family.

3.  Cristiano Ronaldo – Real Madrid

As the highest-paid athlete of any sport and probably the best football player in the world today, it should come as little surprise that Ronaldo has a private plane at his disposal, Real Madrid star bought himself a multi-million pound private jet in 2015.

The Portuguese captain paid out €19million (£13.5million) on a Gulfstream G200 business jet, to help him jet around the world on his marketing missions.

2. Samuel Eto’o – Antalyaspor

As private jets mark another level of success, style, and travel, there is no reason why Samuel Eto’o can’t buy his own flying wing, the former Cameroon international striker is the richest African footballer in the world.
