Even in 2017, a debt of 39 million euros was “forgiven”, by the tax authorities of Naples, after the president of the club of that city, Aurelio De Laurentis, appealed to the need to raise the tax litigation (in which they seized several assets) for convenience.

Argentine media assure that, currently, his earnings were represented by the salary that allowed him to be the coach of the Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata club and at the same time the “sponsor” or sponsor of the club, for which he received additional income.

But he had several luxury properties and hotel investments in Italy. In addition, in China, Cuba (where he lived for four years) and Italy, he had open contracts for sports centers that bear his name.

However, in his networks he boasted other types of things such as a ring of diamonds, valued at 300 thousand euros, and an Overcomer pickup (civilian version of war vehicles), which he received after passing through Dynamo Brest in Belarus, where he was president of the club.

Argentine newspapers assure that the multinational Kanomi also paid him rights for the use of his image in the PES video game.

These buildings include 4 mansions and an apartment, as well as a Ferrari car and a Scania truck.

Judicial battle looming?

A year ago, after a family dispute, Maradona uploaded a video to YouTube in which he announced that he was not going to leave anything behind to his five children (Jana, Dalma, Diego Sinagra, Giannina and Diego Fernando).

He announced that before his death, he was going to donate all his assets. But it is not yet known whether or not he fulfilled his threat.
