It is no surprise that football is a difficult sport. You have to be in your peak form and always be healthy if you want to perform well and attract big clubs. Lionel Messi is the prime example of how much dedication and hard work it takes to be a footballer.
Though the game demands a lot, it also pays you incredibly well for your talents. FC Barcelona legend and 2022 Qatar World Cup winner Lionel Messi gets paid an immense amount of money, which he used to outbid famous streamer Adin Ross in a mansion race.
Lionel Messi outbids Adin Ross for $10 million mansion
After leaving his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, where he was not having a good time, Lionel Messi joined David Beckham’s Inter Miami in the summer of 2023. The winger is very happy at his new club and was looking for a place to stay. He finally found a beautiful mansion in Miami, which he ended up getting, but little did he know another famous name also had his eyes on it.
Adin Ross is a popular streamer who has been seen with some big celebrities like Drake, iShowSpeed, and Andrew Tate. There is no doubt that Adin makes a handsome amount of money, and it is understandable that he too was looking for a high-class mansion. In a stream, Adin told his audience that the place he had his eyes on has now been taken away from him by Lionel Messi.
In his stream, he said he has been outbid by a “very famous professional athlete.” Though he first seemed hesitant about taking the athlete’s name, he soon revealed it to be none other than Messi. “The professional athlete is Messi. Messi’s parents, I think it was? I believe it was his grandparents, or I don’t know who the f*ck it was. Messi, they wanted a crib for their grandchildren or some sh*t; they were playing a game. I don’t even know, and they got it,” he said.
Lionel Messi net worth
Though Adin Ross makes a lot of money, it is nowhere close to what Lionel Messi makes. Apart from earning big bucks from football, Messi also has a chain of hotels and several brand deals. Though Leo joined Inter Miami in 2023, he also had offers from the Saudi Pro League valued at $1.2 billion.
As of 2023, Lionel Messi’s net worth is valued at $600 million. According to Forbes, his career earnings will be $1.28 billion in 2023. Leo is number two on the Forbes list of highest-paid athletes, falling just behind his rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who takes the number one spot.
