#2 Neymar
Probably the biggest fish yet for the tax authorities but while most of the other names on the list have been charged by Spanish authorities for tax evasion, Neymar was charged by the Brazilian government for failing to pay his taxes.
The 24-year-old was supposed to have concealed £11 million in taxes using three companies in his family's name in Brazil. As a result, a Sau Paulo court ceased and froze multiple assets belonging to Neymar and his family including a private jet, a yacht and the three companies that helped in hide his financial data in the first place.
The amount of money being claimed by the Brazilian court includes the players’ assets gained during his two final seasons at Santos – 2012 and 2013 – along with what was earned during his highly lucrative move to Barcelona in the summer of 2013.
