Former Brazilian footballer Roberto Carlos disclosed at the Portugal Football Summit that he lost 99 percent of his career earnings. He attributed this financial collapse to mismanagement by agents and complex family legal battles, including a costly separation from his second wife, Mariana Luccon. Carlos described the loss as sudden, noting he discovered the extent of the depletion after receiving unexpected documents. He stated his wealth, once estimated at over 160 million euros, was nearly exhausted due to opaque operations involving image rights and poor investments. He recounted the shock of the discovery, noting he “went to sleep one Thursday and woke up Friday to a pile of documents he had never seen before,” realizing his life’s work had vanished. Using his experience to warn younger athletes about the necessity of professional financial guidance, Carlos noted he has since restructured his finances and continues his professional work as a manager and Real Madrid ambassador. During the summit, former goalkeeper Júlio César also shared similar experiences of being deceived by an agent.
