These are crazy numbers that “El Mundo” published a few days ago. A 30-page document shows what insane salary spheres Lionel Messi moves into. Presentation content: the superstar’s contract with FC Barcelona, as well as other agreements, including the Argentine’s image rights. Specifically, Messi’s income between 2017 and 2021 amounts to 555 million euros.
No wonder Messi lives like a king! What do you spend your money on? For an extravagant and comfortable lifestyle in all respects. A summary:
The Ville
Messi lives in the exclusive neighborhood of Castelldefels, in a fully equipped 6.2 million euro villa. There is a swimming pool, a gym, a playground for children and even a small soccer field. And of course, a wonderful view of the Mediterranean Sea is a must.
Messi himself has made sure that the neighborhood is quiet. As his former teammate Ivan Rakitic, who also lived in Castelldefels, once revealed, the superstar bought his house from his direct neighbors because they used to make too much noise.
The private jet
Why take regular flights when you can afford a 13 million euro private jet? The plane is marked with its number 10 on the tail. And inside with kitchen, two bathrooms and capacity for 16 people. According to “The Sund”, Messi does not own the jet, but he rents it regularly, which is not cheap either.
The hotel
Messi has invested in the Hotel MiM in Sitges, 42 kilometers from Barcelona, and has paid almost 30 million euros for it. Accommodation on the beach offers a lot of luxury: with a rooftop bar, spa, and even a saltwater pool.
The cars
In total, Messi is said to have spent around 3.5 million euros on his sled. In its fleet there is a Pagani Zonda, two Maseratis and a Ferrari. He has also driven a Range Rover and several Audis.
The dream vacation
Ibiza, Formentera or the Caribbean. Messi likes to have fun on vacation. In 2020 he rented a luxury boat for 45,000 euros per week, together with former colleagues Luis Suárez and Cesc Fábregas. When it comes to the Caribbean, he prefers to live in Jumby Bay, where a night costs more than 5,000 euros.
Too much luxury! Especially in the times of the Crown – the pandemic is also seriously affecting the indebted FC Barcelona – Messi’s salary publication has a stale aftertaste. Especially since in the spring of 2020 there were reports of initial disagreements regarding salary exemptions before the players and the club could agree. Followed by an incomparable summer theater. With a Messi (to PSG?) Willing to emigrate as the insulted protagonist.
