The much-anticipated move of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain is now a done deal, as the record-breaking transfer fee has been paid and Neymar is now signed.
Neymar has been compared to Pelé, and some believe he can even better than Lionel Messi.
While that is debatable, what is not up for debate is that Neymar is now the highest-paid footballer in the world, and he is also one of the world's most marketable athletes.
This all adds up to big contracts and a lavish lifestyle that includes boats, cars, and a famous on-again, off-again girlfriend. This is fitting for one of the biggest stars in the world's most popular sport.
Neymar signed his first professional contract when he was 17 with the Brazilian club Santos, where he was making approximately $1.2 million a year.
In 2010, Santos rejected a $20 million bid for Neymar to join West Ham United in the English Premier League. He was just 18 at the time.
At the time, Neymar's agent publicly rejected a pay raise from Santos.
Later that year, Neymar rejected an offer from Chelsea in the Premier League that would have paid him approximately $4.8 million a year. At the same time, Neymar was becoming an international star with the Brazilian national team.
Neymar then agreed to a new five-year contract to remain in Brazil, making about $4 million a year
Huge pressure was placed on his shoulders when he was dubbed "The Next Pelé."
In 2013, Barcelona paid $120 million to acquire Neymar from Santos.
But the transfer sparked controversy when it was revealed that $54 million of the transfer fee was paid to Neymar's parents. This led to the resignation of Barcelona's president, Sandro Rosell.
Neymar signed a five-year contract with Barça worth $76.8 million for an average annual salary of $15.4 million.
He'll be making much more than that now. In addition to the record $263 million transfer fee, PSG will reportedly pay Neymar $53 million a year, making him the highest-paid footballer in the world.
Off the pitch, Neymar's endorsements pay him approximately $22 million a year.
In 2011, Neymar signed an 11-year deal with Nike worth $1 million a year.
Neymar was the first footballer to have his own custom-made Air Jordan soccer cleats. While the left boot has the numbers 10 (his number with Brazil) and 11 (his club number), the right boot has the No. 23, something Neymar requested as an homage to Michael Jordan.
He was named Eurosport's "Most Marketable Athlete" for 2013, the second straight year he topped the list.
He has also appeared on the cover of the video game series "Pro Evolution Soccer."
He signed on with L'Oreal to start an advertising campaign for Drakkar Noir.
Neymar also has endorsement deals with Gillette, Panasonic, and Beats by Dre.
Neymar has expensive taste, and his list of extravagant purchases includes an $8 million yacht that also costs $120,000 a year to maintain.
He also has a vast car collection that includes a Porsche Panamera Turbo with a price tag of $400,000 to $550,000.
Neymar was recently spotted driving an Audi RS-7, which starts at $114,000.
