Richest not by a long shot, many a premiership, la liga and even bundesliga player have earned more than him. He isn't in forbes top 10 for 2012 (as of may 2012 sometime this year for new estimates)) so I would love to know how he is the richest players. Admittedly he is on a good contract at santos but this is a produc of the new brazilian tv deal which sees clubs get alot more now and this will see brazilian talent stay in brazil longer which is a good thing.
As for the most marketable no way at all I am not having that, first of all one word BECKHAM, secondly I can name at least 20 players who play in europe who have alot more marketing pull than neymar. He may have pull in brazil but worldwide no way is he the most marketable
In 2012, France Football ranked Neymar at 7th in its list of the world's richest footballers, behind the likes ofLionel Messi (1st) and Cristiano Ronaldo (3rd), with a combined income from salaries, bonuses and off-field earnings of £11 million (€13.8 million).[83][84]
On 17 May 2012, Neymar was rated by SportsPro magazine as the most marketable athlete in the world, ahead of Lionel Messi (3rd) and Cristiano Ronaldo (5th)
