Neymar Jr. was born to become a star. From an early age, his career path has been carefully planned by his father and a team of associates. Moving to Barcelona in 2013, Neymar Jr. truly found his place on the world stage.

However, sharing the spotlight with Messi & Co. didn't suit the Brazilian and last summer Paris Saint-Germain smashed the world transfer record to bring the talented winger to Parc des Princes.

There is no questioning Neymar Jr.'s talent. The playmaker has a wide range of talents on the football field, striking fear into the opposition's defence. Capable of devastation with both feet, he is often touted as a future Ballon d'Or winner. However, recent playacting and diving have led many to question whether the Brazilian can truly be considered as 'great'.

Neymar Jr.'s market value development steadily increased during his time with Barcelona. Valued at €50 million upon his arrival at the Nou Camp, the Brazilian left for Paris with an astonishing transfer fee of €222 million.

However, data suggests that fee was greatly inflated and Neymar Jr. is currently valued at €180 million. This makes him the joint most valuable player in the world along with our next entry.
