The enormous sum Diogo Jota’s wife and three children will inherit as legacy lives on
Liverpool star Diogo Jota tragically passed away last week.
Diogo Jota’s widow is reportedly set to inherit up to £35million worth of estate following his tragic passing. The Liverpool forward passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning last week after being involved in a car crash in Spain.
Jota and his brother Andre Silva both passed away and they were laid to rest in their hometown of Gondomar in Portugal over the weekend. A significant number of Jota’s ex-teammates were in attendance, as well as Arne Slot and his Liverpool squad.
Reports in Portugal suggest that the Reds will offer to continue paying Jota’s grieving family the final two years of his contract. However, his heartbroken loved ones are also set to receive more than just finances thanks to the sensational legacy that the 28-year-old built.
According to MailOnline, Jota’s partner Rute Cardoso, who he married just 11 days before the fatal crash, is set to inherit a remarkable estate. The finances will provide security for Jota’s wife and their three children, Dinis, Duarte and Mafalda.

Jota is described as ‘amassing a fortune’ during his football career. He earned £3,952,000 during his time with Wolves before joining Liverpool on a four-year deal. The Portugal international earned £8,632,000 during his first two years at Anfield before penning a bumper £140,000-per-week deal.
The new contract saw him earn £21,840,000 alone, and he was set to bank a further £14.5million for the remaining two years on the year. If reports stating that Liverpool will payout the contract in full, it would take Jota’s Premier League earnings to £34.4m – and that does not include sponsorships and his Esports work.
It is unclear how much of the total incomings had been spent by Jota before his passing, though he and his wife did purchase a five-bedroom property in north Liverpool in May 2022 worth £2,125,000.
Jota is said to have dipped his toe into world of luxury cards over the years, with reports suggesting he owned a collection which included a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a Ferrari 488, an Audi Q7 and a Mercedes-Benz G63AMG.
The late striker had built an incredible legacy during his time as a footballer and has drawn immense praise since his passing.
