Despite earning $108 million, the reason why Neymar was an Uber driver for a day

Neymar is one of the most talented footballers the world has ever seen, but the Brazilian star has suffered multiple injuries throughout the past couple of years. Last October, Neymar suffered an ACL injury that has kept him out for more than nine months.

The Brazilian star is an Al Hilal player, and his debut season did not go as planned because of the injury. He only played five games for the Saudi Pro League club after he joined them last summer.

Neymar has had lots of free time on his hands and during that time, he has been recovering in rehab and also spending time with his family and friends. What confused many football fans these past few weeks is why Neymar was an Uber Driver in the United States.

Many football fans were wondering as to why he was doing the job since he is one of the richest footballers and athletes in the world. It turns out that the video was actually an advertisement or a marketing strategy to promote Puma and the personalized Tesla Cyber Truck that Neymar was given.

A video surfaced of a guest recording himself in the Tesla Cyber Truck and jokingly saying, “This is the worst Uber ever.” He recorded Neymar driving the vehicle, and the video went viral on all social media platforms. Neymar was in the United States a couple of weeks ago to watch the Brazilian national team.

Neymar has an event for Puma in Los Angeles, California. He went to watch Brazil play against Costa Rica in their first match of the Copa America, which resulted in a 0-0 draw. He then went to Las Vegas and watched the Brazilian national team again. Brazil defeated Paraguay 4-1 in their second match of the Copa America.
