The 10 most famous athletes of 2016 (With Pictures)

4. Neymar

Neymar was already famous around the world as a teenager. It was at the 2013 Confederations Cup when Neymar showed the world just how special he could be on the pitch. Since that time, Neymar has become maybe the best overall footballer in the world, and he has done it all since joining Barcelona. A La Liga title, Champions League glory and also a goal in a Champions League Final – Neymar has all of those on his resume. All that is left is for Neymar to help lead Brazil to a World Cup title. Brazil were a massive let-down in the summer of 2014, and Neymar and company will now have to wait two more years before they get another crack at the most famous trophy in the world.
