In a move that has stunned the football world, the family of late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has released a full public inventory of the player’s assets — including earnings, properties, and private investments — sparking widespread disbelief over the sheer scale of his financial legacy.
The revelation comes just months after Jota’s tragic death, and follows growing public curiosity around the footballer’s estate and financial affairs.
The Shocking Figure
According to the documents released by the Jota family’s legal representatives, the Portuguese star earned an estimated £42.8 million during his time with Liverpool FC, including base salary, bonuses, image rights, and performance-related incentives. The figure excludes sponsorships and private ventures.
In addition, Jota reportedly held investments in real estate across Portugal and the UK, a luxury vehicle collection worth over £2 million, and several undisclosed cryptocurrency holdings believed to have surged in value over the past two years.
One of the most surprising details was the existence of a £7.5 million offshore account, reportedly opened under a trust for his children — a financial move that shocked even seasoned analysts.
Fans React with Awe and Questions
Fans across the UK and Portugal have taken to social media to express a mix of admiration, disbelief, and curiosity. Many were unaware of the full extent of Jota’s financial success, with one fan on X (formerly Twitter) commenting:
“We knew he was doing well, but this is next-level. He built an empire while keeping his head down.”
Another user questioned how much of Jota’s fortune had been kept private during his career:
“Did anyone at Liverpool know how smart he was with his money? Or was this all quietly managed in the background?”
Why Go Public Now?
A family spokesperson explained the decision to publish the documents was made “in the interest of transparency” and to counter growing speculation about missing assets, especially after recent revelations involving a secret apartment and a second mobile phone discovered during a police investigation.
“We wanted to put an end to rumours and honour Diogo’s legacy with honesty. What he built, he built for his children and for the people he loved,” the family’s lawyer said in a press statement.
An Unfinished Legacy
With legal proceedings still ongoing and police continuing to examine several anomalies related to Jota’s financial history, some sources suggest this disclosure could be just the beginning. Investigators are reportedly probing possible international transfers, private holdings, and even questions around whether all known assets were self-managed or guided by an unknown third party.
For now, fans and pundits alike are left to reflect on the scale of Jota’s impact — not just on the pitch, but as a shrewd, forward-thinking figure who quietly amassed a fortune and left behind a legacy far larger than anyone had imagined.
