A fitness centre and members-only club are included too.
Brazilian Island, £7m
No man is an island, but Neymar owns one now.
It has been reported that he spent £7million on a six-acre tropical hideaway called the Japao Private Island.
The paradise spot is located off the port town of Angra dos Reis in southwest Rio de Janeiro state.
It is situated in a bay that is home to more than 365 islands, and boasts its own incredible beach.
While its grounds feature a main Indonesian-style villa with two master suites and a koi fish pond and three sea-view bungalows.
Brazilian journalist Leo Dias reported that the footballer and well-known Dubai property investor Sheik Muhammad Binghatti paid more than £40,000 to rent the island in a “test drive” operation.
Celebs who have stayed on the island in the past have included Neymar’s ex Bruna Marquezine.
The luxury hideaway, which can accommodate up to 10 guests, can only be reached by boat or helicopter.
The chopper ride from Rio de Janeiro’s International Airport takes around 35 minutes.
Miami, £20million
Back in October, Neymar parted with a hefty sum of £20million for a beachfront plot in Miami.
Immediately, this fuelled speculation of a reunion with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who play their football with Inter Miami.
Found in the gated village of Bal Harbour, the offer includes approved plans for a 13,000-square-foot house designed by the London-based design firm Elicyon.
According to property records, Bent Philipson, founder of Philosophy Care, a consulting firm for skilled-nursing facilities in New York and New Jersey is selling the land to the Brazilian.
However, it could take some time before a home is built.
Mangaratiba, £3million
Neymar splashed the cash on a villa in Mangaratiba – situated an hour’s drive east of Angra dos Reis in the Green Coast – in around 2019.
Built on a two-and-a-half acre plot, the property rests in the exclusive and gated estate called Portobello and was where Sylvester Stallone filmed action movie, The Expendables.
Boasting six bedrooms, the lavish digs has its own helipad, gym, tennis court and jetty.
There’s also plenty of other amenities – like a gym, sauna, massage room, spa and jacuzzi.
If that’s not enough. there’s an underground cellar with space for 3,000 bottles of wine.
But it wasn’t enough for a man of Neymar’s needs, so he recently extended the property.
The football playboy added multiple swimming pools – because one is never enough.
He also added a custom-built go-kart track for kicks, as well as an artificial lake.
Neymar is said to spend much of his free time at the property in Rio de Janeiro with family and friends.
