Footballers are one the richest people in the world and many of them can get whatever they want. Despite the high cost of ownership, there are some football players afforded to have a private jet. Here are five of them.

5. Neymar – Barcelona

 

The Brazilian and Barcelona super star Neymar owns two private jets.

Back in 2015, The Brazil International spent $10million to purchase his 12-seater executive aircraft.

The purchase came after Neymar made headlines when he chartered a private plane to pick up Serbian model and former Big Brother contestant Soraya Vucelic, whom he met in Ibiza in the summer of 2014.

Early 2016, Neymar splashed £6million  for a second private jet , which was reportedly carried out by a company called Neymar Sport and Marketing.
