O Rei has managed to accumulate a large sum of money, mainly through his sports career, advertising income and investments.
After Pelé died with his family at the Israeli Albert Einstein Hospital on December 29, the Brazilian soccer star was buried in the Memorial of the Ecumenical Necropolis, a vertical cemetery located in the town of Santos, a few steps from the Vila Belmiro stadium, belonging to Peixe.
Having already said a final farewell to the three-time world champion, O Rei’s family will have to decide what will happen to the legacy left by crack. As reported by the Celebrity Net Worth portal, a media dedicated to establishing estimates of the total assets of celebrities, Pelé would have come to generate a heritage close to 100 million dollars .
This fortune corresponds to what the figure of Santos has achieved during his sports career in Brazil and the United States at the hands of Cosmos, in addition to income thanks to the appearance in different advertisements. Added to this is the real estate investment he made after his retirement from professional activity.
As an example, the portal establishes an operation he conducted in the United States in The Hamptons, where he bought a house for $156,000 in 1979 and resold it in 2018 for 2.85 million dollars of North American currency.
Pelé’s family is large. This is why the entire inheritance will be distributed among those who are related to the outstanding footballer. His current widow is Marcia Cibele Aoki, but between 1966 and 1982 the Brazilian married Rosmeri dos Reis Cholbi, mother of his first three children: Kelly Cristina, Edson and Jennifer Nascimento . Later, the former striker married singer and psychologist Assíra Lemos Seixas, in 1994, and with her he had twins Joshua and Celeste .
In turn, in the 90s he had a parallel relationship with Anizia Machado, and from this relationship was born Sandra Machado , who died in 2006, to whom Pelé had denied paternity until DNA testing determined there was a relationship. Moreover, the last girl recognized is Flavia Christina Kurtz .
international proposal
One of the events that marked the first day of Pelé’s funeral wake in Santos was the presence of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who, after praising what O Rei had done, launched a proposal that could have a global reach.
“Pele is eternal. Pelé is a global football icon. Pele first did a lot of things in football that 99% can only dream of doing and the remaining 1% did it after Pele. That is why we are here with enormous sadness, but also with joy, the joy of Pelé. Pele’s smile,” Infantino began by saying.
“Pelé left an incredible legacy for football; a unique heritage. I think he was a gift from God, which very few people in the world have. It is a gift that touches people’s hearts and emotions. “, He continued.
Then he made a particular proposal. “We are going to ask all the countries in the world to name a stadium after Pelé . I think young people all over the world, of all generations, need to remember Pelé and the joy he brought to football. May children of 20, 30, 50 or 100, when they score goals at the Pelé stadium in any country in the world and ask who he was, know that he was a great footballer, who made us emotional” , did he declare. .
