Correct?

My brother loves bear fat so much; he would be willing to pay a thousand dollars for it.
Are both sentences correct? (Context: I am trying to show how much he loves bear fat by using the sentences above.)

As you have written these, "so much" is understood as an informal way of writing "very much". Because of the semicolon, it cannot be part of the expression "so much (that) ~" as you may be intending. You may mean this: My brother loves bear fat so much that he would kill bears just for fat.
