Pelé left 30% of his assets to his widow and named his eighth daughter in his will
According to his Will, which also makes reference to a woman who may be Pele’s unrecognized daughter, the late football icon Pele’s widow would receive 30% of his assets, the widow’s attorney told AFP on Tuesday.
The Will specifies that Marcia Cibele Aoki, Pele’s third and last wife, will inherit his mansion in Guaruja, a beach resort town south of Sao Paulo, where the couple lived, according to her lawyer Luiz Kignel.
Additional possessions of Pele, who passed away in late December at age 82 following a battle with cancer, include other real estate and a stake in the Pele brand, according to Kignel, who added that a full inventory had not yet been made.
Pele’s children, including an unrecognized child, will receive the remaining 70%.
He suggested the potential of having another daughter, whose identification will rely on a DNA test that could not be done on Pele because of the epidemic and his current condition of health, according to Kignel.
According to Kignel, the woman in question is a Brazilian national and she has taken legal processes to be recognised as Pele’s daughter.
According to the G1 website, a Sao Paulo court ordered Pele to take a DNA test in September 2022. The test must now be performed on one of his seven identified children
