Only days have passed since Pelé’s funeral took place, and talk is already beginning of the economic legacy left by the three-time world champion, and many people wonder who will be his heirs?
O Rei’s fortune is valued at about $100 million dollars, according to estimates by the Celebrity Net Worth portal, a medium specialized in calculating the assets and fortunes of celebrities.
It is worth noting that the fortune that Pelé achieved is not produced solely by football, but also has to do with his brand and personal image.
Article 1,845 of the Brazilian Civil Code stipulates that the order of law in a person’s inheritance corresponds to: widows or widowers, sons and daughters, and parents.
This means that only Pelé’s last wife, Marcia Aoki, in addition to his recognized children and his mother, Celeste Arantes, will receive part of the wealth.
The legendary 10 of the Canarinha had three wives, but only had children with two of them. His first marriage was to Rosemeri Cholbi in 1966, when he was just 26 years old. With Cholbi he had three of her children, Kelly Cristina, Edson and Jennifer.
Twenty-eight years later, he married Assiria Seixas Lemos, with whom he had twin children Celeste and Joshua.
His last wife was Marcia Aoki, with whom he had been in concubinage since 2008 and married in 2016. This was the only wife with whom he had no children.
Pelé had two other children who were conceived in extramarital relationships. A daughter named Sandra Mancebo and another named Flavia.
