Eight-year-old Davi Lucca already has the platform to make tens of thousands of pounds for himself – without even relying on anything his father does

Neymar’s eight-year-old son can become one of the richest children in the world – and can do it all by himself.

Davi Lucca won’t need his father’s help, either.

That’s because the youngster has already amassed a staggering Instagram following of 1.4million, meaning he would be able to cash in to the tune of tens of thousands from sponsored posts.

Celebrities and influencers are regularly used to help advertise brands by sharing posts on their social media page, as they endorse the product in question.

With millions already watching eight-year-old Davi Lucca’s movements, he could cash in now.

Of course, Davi Lucca’s following is because he is the son of one of the most popular footballers on the planet.

Neymar has over 127million followers of his own, meaning that he can be paid around €450,000 (£382,000) per sponsored Instagram post.

While Neymar’s son has a major following on social media, he is not the most popular son of a sporting great.

In Basketball, LeBron James Jnr, the son of the NBA legend, has 3.4million followers of his own and can make huge sums of money.

His dad, who has around 52million followers, regularly makes huge money from the social network, with his personal deals with Nike, Beats, Coca-Cola and Kia among others.
