Diogo was a forward who played for several football teams throughout his career — his last team being Liverpool. Just two months before his death, he helped the club win the Premier League 2024−2025 season. The Portuguese athlete began his professional career at the Paços de Ferreira club and continued to play for Atlético Madrid, Porto, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jota gradually increased his wealth thanks to his dedication to sports. Before his death, his net worth was $ 18 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Although his total earnings from Liverpool are currently unknown, he signed a contract with the team in 2020 for £41 million, equivalent to over $ 50 million.
Early in the morning on July 3, 2025, Diogo and his younger brother, André Silva, died in a car accident together when their Lamborghini veered off the road in Spain. Both brothers were found dead by authorities, and it was not immediately clear who was driving the car. According to ESPN, the police were considering the possibility that a tire puncture may have caused the accident.
No one else was injured in the accident. Diogo and André were the only ones in the car
