Neymar, the renowned Brazilian football sensation, boasts an impressive collection of luxury vehicles, but his fascination with opulence extends beyond cars.
In 2019, Neymar made headlines when he acquired a Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 personal helicopter, a lavish addition to his extravagant lifestyle, valued at an estimated $13.7 million USD.
Painted in sleek black, inspired by Neymar’s favorite superhero, Batman, the Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 is a two-engine light personal helicopter, born out of a collaboration between the German automaker Mercedes-Benz and the renowned Airbus Helicopters.
Launched in 2015, this helicopter features two Turbomeca Arriel 2E engines, boasting a total capacity of 900 horsepower. With a range of 640 km, a maximum speed of 240 km/h, and a dry weight of 2,449 kg, it stands as a pinnacle of aviation luxury.
The H-145’s impressive specifications include the ability to accommodate up to 8 passengers, 2 pilots, and luggage, with a remarkable maximum payload of 3,700 kg. Its spacious dimensions, measuring 11.69 x 2.4 x 4 meters (excluding propellers), contribute to its allure as an attractive choice among personal helicopters. The cockpit is equipped with three large screens running the Helionix avionics, offering comprehensive information and supporting the pilot in various situations.
Boasting a cutting-edge 4-axis autopilot system, stability support at high altitudes, and an automatic take-off feature, the Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 ensures a top-tier flying experience. The passenger compartment, developed by Mercedes-Benz, features a luxurious leather interior, an enhanced entertainment system, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot.
Neymar’s personal helicopter, adorned in glossy black with the superhero-inspired initials NJR on the tail, is stationed in Brazil. Frequently utilized by the football star for travel to the training ground with the national team, the helicopter symbolizes Neymar’s success, wealth, and penchant for the extravagant.
Valued at 10 million pounds, equivalent to 13.7 million USD, the helicopter surpasses the cost of the villa behind it, priced at only 7 million pounds. In Neymar’s world, this personal helicopter stands as a testament to his unparalleled success and his unapologetically lavish lifestyle.
