Roberto Carlos Says Agent and Family Disputes Cost Him 99% of His Football Fortune

Brazilian football great Roberto Carlos says disputes involving a former agent and family members wiped out 99% of the wealth he earned during his playing career. Speaking at the Portugal Football Summit, the former Real Madrid defender said he discovered documents he had never seen and suddenly found himself with almost nothing. He acknowledged making financial mistakes and urged younger footballers to learn from his experience. Carlos said his 2025 divorce was complicated, but stressed that the loss of his fortune was linked to broader financial issues, not the divorce alone. The 2002 World Cup winner now works as a Real Madrid ambassador and says he has rebuilt his financial stability.
