the wife of Pelewho died in December 2022 due to cancer in December at the age of 82, will inherit 30% of his assets according to his willin which a woman who could be his daughter is also mentioned, the lawyer of the former footballer’s widow told the AFP agency on Tuesday.
The three-time world champion specified in his donation that his third and last wife, Marcia Cibele Aoki, keep 30% of his assets, including the house where they lived in Guarujá, a resort in Sao Paulo. Her inheritance includes this residence, other properties and a stake in the Pelé brand, explained Me Kignel, who specified that the complete inventory has not yet been carried out and that, consequently, the total amount of the estate is unknown.
The lawyer added that the will mentions the possibility that Pelé has an unrecognized daughter who would be entitled to part of the remaining 70% of the estate, which has been reserved for the other seven children of the legendary former player.
“The possibility of the existence of another daughter is indicated, whose recognition will depend on a DNA test that could not be carried out (on Pelé) due to the pandemic and his state of health,” he explained. “She is a Brazilian who asks to be recognized as her daughter and about whom we do not know much except that she has taken legal action in Brazil for a paternity search.”
In September 2022, a Sao Paulo court ordered Pelé to undergo a DNA test, according to the G1 website. The latter must now be carried out in one of his recognized children. This woman would be the eighth child of the Brazilian soccer legend.
Married three times, he officially recognized seven children. Three children were born from his first marriage in 1966: two girls and a boy. During this period, Pelé also had a daughter, the result of an extramarital affair in 1968, whom he recognized in 2002. Twins were born from his second union in 1994.
He is also the father of a daughter born in 1964 from an affair with a housekeeper whom he did not recognize at first. But after five years of legal battle, the courts ruled in 1996 in favor of the young woman, who demanded paternity recognition and who died of cancer in 2006. Pelé remarried in 2016 to Marcia Cibele Aoki, a businesswoman, but from No children were born from this union.
