  • Spaghetti, Jets And Clones – Things You Can Buy For Neymar’s R3,5 Billion Price Tag

    It looks like Neymar is headed to Paris St-Germain (PSG), and he comes with a hefty price tag.

    UPDATE – it’s official.

    His recent contract extension came with a £198 million (R3,5 billion) buy-out clause, which was basically Barcelona saying their Brazilian superstar wasn’t for sale.

    Fast forward a year or so, and he is all but out of the door.

    More than double current world record transfer Paul Pogba’s fee, it turns out you can buy quite a bit with that kitty. The BBC decided to do a little digging, and here are some of their suggestions:

    Planes and jets

    One Neymar could buy three Boeing 737-700 passenger planes, which cost $82.4m each.

    If you wanted to upgrade to the snazzier 737-800 – the type of plane that makes up a large chunk of Ryanair’s European fleet – you’d only be able to afford two, with about $65m left over for bells and whistles.

    Alternatively, you could exchange your Neymar for a private jet – ranging up to about $100m – and then spend the rest on the (insanely high) running costs every year.

    Some of the more ‘out there’ suggestions:

    The cost of human cloning is around £1.29m. Why spend £198m on one Neymar when you could clone 153 Neymars at that price?

    One Neymar could buy enough spaghetti to cover the entire city of Barcelona.

    Adam Wright doing the maths:

    Hey, if Adam says so.

    How about some comparisons to countries and their GDPs?

    If you have one Neymar, you would be able to match the entire economic output of one of six of the world’s smaller nations.

    Take your pick from Tuvalu, Montserrat, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru and Palau – all have a GDP output ranging from about $33m to $258m, according to United Nations data from 2015.

    Sad.

    If you wanted to be a hero, you could erase the debt of you favourite island nation:

    If you were feeling philanthropic, Neymar’s mammoth fee could wipe out the national debt of a small nation … like Tonga ($28.3m), Fiji ($72.4m) or Vanuatu ($82m) – or, stretching a bit, even Haiti ($234m).

    Perhaps your heart is set on buying Neymar, though, and there’s no talking you out of it. Start saving now – just the $1 000 (R13 300) PER DAY, EVERY DAY, for the next 718 YEARS, and he could be all yours.

    By the way, he will earn £775 477  (R13,5 million) a week, which equates to £40,3m (R702 million) a year before tax.

    Football has lost its marbles.
