Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar Jr. makes a training entrance that would impress Michael Jordan in a more modern context. After missing three months of the 2018–19 season due to a metatarsal injury, Neymar joined the Brazil national squad for the 2019 Copa America. Neymar arrived at the Granja Comary sports center in Teresopolis, Brazil, in a Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 helicopter instead of a supercar or chauffeured vehicle.

The 13.64-meter-long, 3.95-meter-high Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 helicopter can reach 150 MPH (241 km/h). Mercedes-designed VIP lounge holds 11 individuals. With midnight black paint and Batman insignia on the seats, Neymar’s plane is the height of luxury. Batman is the footballer’s favorite.

Neymar Jr. has a Joker tattoo next to what appears to be Spider-Man from the Andrew Garfield era, demonstrating his Batman fandom. He included these strong people in his high-flying lifestyle because he admired them.

Neymar Jr. owns an Embraer Legacy 450 private plane and a Mercedes-Benz helicopter, which cost him €12.2 million (U$19.1 million) and €13 million, respectively. Professional athletes display their wealth by driving flashy cars, and Neymar Jr. clearly enjoys traveling the world.

In a world where athletes’ wealth is often as impressive as their athleticism, Neymar Jr.’s helicopter and private plane are clear signs of his celebrity status. Even though some find these ostentatious displays of wealth garish, many athletes use them as a reminder of their hard-won achievement and a monument to their professional peaks. They pride themselves on their larger-than-life personalities and enjoy stardom off the pitch.
