Private island, the most expensive villa in Brazil and hundreds of Ferraris are among the possibilities with the figures achieved by the club with the Portuguese coach
The conquest of Brazilian Championship 2023 surrendered to Palmeiras R$47.8 million, value corresponding to the division of the broadcasting rights of the tournament, based on the team’s performance. This season he also took over the club R$ 10 million for the Brazilian Super Cupwon over Flamengo, and R$9 million for Paulistão, defeated against Água Santa. The club thus reached the amount of R$550 million in prize money for the titles won under the leadership of coach Abel Ferreira.
Abel Ferreira arrived at Palmeiras in November 2020, a season that invaded the 2021 calendar due to the pandemic. Since then, the Portuguese has won nine titles with the Alviverde team: Libertadores (2020 and 2021), Copa do Brasil (2020), Recopa Sul-Americana (2022), Brasileirão (2022 and 2023), Supercopa do Brasil (2023) and Paulistão (2022 and 2023). He overtook Vanderlei Luxemburgo as the club’s second most successful manager, behind only Oswaldo Brandão, with ten trophies. Abel still does not guarantee to stay in 2024 and, according to the international press, he has a proposal from Qatar Al-Sadd to become the highest paid coach in the world.
The value achieved by Palmeiras with the prize money for the titles won with Abel Ferreira is impressive. The amount is the same that will be paid this year to the Mega da Virada, the highest sum ever announced by the Caixa Econômica Federal lottery. To give you an idea, Ronaldo Fenômeno acquired SAF from Cruzeiro with the promise of investments of R$400 million, as well as taking on the membership club’s debt. The same agreement was concluded between Botafogo and John Textor’s Eagle Holding group.
What can you buy with R$550 million?
The most expensive house in Brazil
The figures obtained by Palmeiras under Abel Ferreira give hope that the club will invest heavily in the transfer window to make the team even stronger – and no wonder. With the prize money raised by the arrival of the Portuguese it is possible to buy, for example, the most expensive villa in Brazil. This is a property located in Leblon, a privileged area in the south of Rio, with 2,500 square meters of built area, a garage for 15 cars, six suites and gardens designed by the famous landscape designer Burle Marx. Overlooking Christ the Redeemer, the house is on sale for R$220 million.
111 Ferraris
In addition to football, Abel Ferreira is passionate about cars and cultivates his hobby as a collector. With the money Palmeiras earned from the titles he helped win, it would be possible to buy 111 models of the Ferrari 296 GTS, launched this year with a list price of around R$4.9 million.
40 thousand iPhones
Technology enthusiasts do not shy away from paying a lot for the launch of Apple, especially the iPhone. With the R$550 million that Palmeiras has put into the coffers in the last three years with Abel, it would be possible to purchase 40 thousand devices of the 15 Pro Max model, reselling them on the market for around R$14 thousand.
Paradise island in Angra dos Reis
With just R$74 million it is possible to own an island paradise in Angra dos Reis, in the lake region, Rio de Janeiro. Better known as “Japan Island”, the place can only be visited by boat or helicopter and has been home to numerous famous people, such as the actress Bruna Marquezine, Neymar’s ex. The archipelago is 25 thousand meters long, with a villa built around the Atlantic Forest area. The values achieved by Palmeiras are equivalent to seven times the price of the island.
Leila Pereira’s plane
Palmeiras fans were angry with president Leila Pereira this year due to a lack of investment in signings. The president preferred, however, to offer better logistics to the players by purchasing a plane for the club. This is an E190-E2 model aircraft, which has 98 seats and is rated A R$305 million. The plane belongs to Placar Linhas Aéreas, Leila’s new airline, and will be made available to other clubs for charter.
