Brazil superstar Neymar Jr has bought himself a consolation gift - a £17.5 million (approximately Rs 226 crore) superyacht - to get over the disappointment of crashing out in the round of 16 (after losing 1-2 to Norway) at the FIFA World Cup.
According to British tabloid The Sun, the vessel, named Enejota, based on the Portuguese pronunciation of his initials NJ, is 120 feet in length and has six suites along with a helipad. It can reach a top speed of 37 kmph thanks to its four 5800 horsepower engines. It requires £115,000 (around Rs 1.48 crore) to fill its 83,000 litre tank.

Neymar, 34, largely had a tournament to forget as injury limited him to just 37 minutes of total action across Brazil's six matches, although he did score a consolation penalty in their loss to Norway. It was his last game in a Selecao jersey as Brazil's top goalscorer, with 80 strikes in 130 games, announced his retirement soon after. The ex-Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain star now plies his trade at his boyhood club Santos in Brazil.
