At 25 years old, Vini Jr, number 7 of the Brazilian National Team, chose a castle in Saddle River, a prime area of New Jersey, to host his family during the World Cup held in the United States.

The residence chosen by Vini Jr is located in one of the most valued addresses in New Jersey.

The numbers behind the mansion are impressive. It has about 984 square meters of built area on a plot of 8,000 square meters. It is worth noting that the house serves as a temporary refuge during the World Cup period, where Vini Jr’s relatives are staying, and not as a property that the player has purchased.

The leisure structure of the mansion

Spread over three floors, the mansion boasts a large leisure area. The property features a pool, spa, artificial waterfalls, gym, and sports court, as well as a living area designed to gather Vini Jr’s family during their stay in the United States.

The comfort extends to other areas of the property. The location also has game rooms and spaces for family receptions, the kind of structure that helps explain the charged price. In high season, according to the newspaper Extra, the daily rate of the residence can exceed R$ 78,000, about US$ 15,000.

Vini Jr’s Penthouse in Dubai and the Fortune of R$ 345 Million

Besides the temporary stay in the United States, the star owns a property on the other side of the world. According to CNN, Vini Jr owns a highly luxurious penthouse in Dubai, reported by the press in 2025 and located in Business Bay, one of the most valued areas of the city, within a building designed to break major world records.

The highlight of the tower is a pool designed to enter the records. Among the most striking features of the building is an infinity pool described as the highest in the world. The penthouse matches the profile of an athlete whose fortune is estimated at over R$ 345 million, a figure that places Vini Jr among the richest names in football.

Between the temporary castle in New Jersey and the own penthouse in Dubai, Vini Jr’s choices in the real estate market reflect the position of one of the biggest stars in world football. The mansion that houses his mother, father, and three siblings during the World Cup is a rental whose daily rate can exceed R$ 78,000, while the property in Dubai is an asset he actually owns. It is worth remembering that the values mentioned are estimates and evaluations reported by the press, not audited figures. Off the field, the profile of the number 7 jersey draws almost as much attention as his football.

And you, what do you think of Vini Jr's choice of a R$ 55 million castle for the family during the World Cup? Is it a luxury befitting his career or an exaggeration? Share your opinion and exchange ideas with other readers, respecting different opinions.
