HE EARNED A FORTUNE IN FOOTBALL — BUT SAYS HE LOST ALMOST ALL OF IT.
Brazil and Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos has reportedly revealed that he lost 99% of his £133 MILLION fortune after facing serious financial problems involving business and family matters. 😳
🗣️ Carlos said:
“Because of agents and family issues, I lost 99 per cent of everything I had earned in football.”
According to Carlos, his financial troubles began after problems involving a former businessman and complicated family matters. He says he was suddenly presented with documents he knew nothing about — and that experience cost him almost everything he had worked for. 📄💔
His struggles reportedly came around the same period as his 2025 divorce from Mariana Luccon, whom he had married in 2009. The couple have two daughters.
Carlos also recalled how quickly everything changed:
🗣️ “On Thursday, I went to bed at midnight, and on Friday, I received a bunch of papers I didn’t even know existed. That’s when I lost my entire history.”
Despite everything, Carlos says the experience taught him an important lesson about money management.
Now, he wants younger footballers to learn from his mistakes — because earning millions is one thing, but knowing how to protect it is another. 💰⚽
A powerful reminder that even football legends can face unexpected financial challenges. 🙏
