To put those numbers into perspective, Neymar could afford to buy a new top-of-the-range private jet worth £50m once every 22 months using his basic salary alone.
If he's looking for somewhere to live in Paris, he could cover the costs for the most expensive flat in the city, which is worth £18m, in just eight months.

Neymar will earn enough money to buy a new Audi sports coupe, the £85,000 car in which he travelled to Barcelona airport on Wednesday, every 27 hours and 45 minutes.

He probably won't need any, but the 25-year-old will earn enough to buy a pair of Neymar signed headphones, which retail at £500, once every 10 minutes.

Neymar's arrival in the French capital will send sales of the PSG's replica shirt, which is valued at £65, through the roof. With his new salary, the 25-year-old could afford to buy a new one every one minute and 18 seconds.
