Forbes: Messi Now Worth $1.1 Billion by AnonPoet(op): 7:02am On Jun 07

Football legend Lionel Messi has officially joined the ranks of the world’s billionaires, with his net worth now estimated at $1.1 billion, according to Forbes.

The Argentine superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, has accumulated his wealth through a combination of record-breaking football contracts, lucrative endorsement deals, business investments, and commercial partnerships.

Messi’s earnings have soared throughout his illustrious career, which has seen him play for top clubs including FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and currently Inter Miami CF. His move to Inter Miami in 2023 significantly boosted the club’s global profile and commercial value, while also increasing his personal earnings through innovative revenue-sharing agreements.

Beyond football, Messi has secured endorsement partnerships with several global brands, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. His business portfolio includes investments in real estate, hospitality, and sports-related ventures, which have further strengthened his financial position.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and captain of the Argentina national football team has enjoyed unparalleled success on the pitch, winning numerous domestic league titles, UEFA Champions League trophies, and leading Argentina to victory at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

With Forbes now estimating his net worth at $1.1 billion, Messi joins an exclusive group of athletes who have reached billionaire status, cementing not only his legacy as a football icon but also as one of the most financially successful sports figures in history.

Hope he always gives back to his society, just as Sadio Mané does? Because, SM is apparently the major player as regards such an unusual benevolence. May God continue to bless him (SM)...

Money that he is meant to have surpassed if he really wants to. He is playing football for passion, not for money. Like he said, he plays football for passion

His move to the USA really paid off, financially.

If I'm in his shoes, I will stay back in America when I'm done with Inter Miami.

He has been creating business brands since he entered the US. I know he has an energy drink and real estate business.

The USA is not big by mouth. Money na water.

This is irrelevant. He can decide to or decide not to and nothing will happen. It's not an obligation.

With that said, he has a charity organization, and his paying millions in taxes.

When you are big, you are big.

Key factors behind Messi's wealth include:
More than $1.2 billion in career playing earnings before taxes and agent fees.

Over $600 million from endorsements and business ventures, including long-term partnerships with brands such as Adidas, Mastercard, and Lay's.

His lucrative deal with Inter Miami CF, which reportedly includes revenue-sharing arrangements and the option to acquire an ownership stake in the club after retirement.

I thought Messi fans do say that he did not go to Inter Miami to make money?

So why are they celebrating his billionaire status?

Hypocrisy!!
