Lionel Messi Net Worth
According to celebritynetwoth His Net worth is US$ 600 Million
Messi leads Forbes’ annual list of the world’s highest-paid athletes for the second time, with $130 million in pre-tax gross earnings over the last 12 months (the other was in 2019). Although Forbes estimates Messi’s salary has dropped by $22 million from his final year with Barcelona to $75 million this season at PSG, a significant increase in endorsements has helped him equal the record 12-month total for a soccer player he set last year, when he finished second to MMA fighter Conor McGregor.
Lionel Messi’s $20 million-per-year deal with Socios expands his endorsement portfolio, which already includes Adidas, Budweiser, and PepsiCo. In a deal announced last June, he also became Hard Rock International’s first athlete brand ambassador, allowing Messi to equal Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo in off-field earnings for the first time since 2013. Messi won the Ballon d’Or as the world’s best men’s soccer player in 2021
