With great success, the money comes, and this equation does not differ from the Argentine star Lionel Messi, who personified historical moments in football fields and accumulated hundreds of millions in his bank account.
And with Messi’s long years of brilliance, his financial balance increased greatly, until his fortune reached $ 400 million, according to recent statistics.
According to the French magazine, “L’Equipe”, Messi receives 8.3 million euros a month from his team Barcelona, which means that he receives almost 100 million euros annually.
In addition to his “spherical” salary, Messi earns millions of advertising and sponsorship contracts, and he has attractive contracts with companies such as Adidas for sports products, Pepsi for soft drinks and Konami for video games.
Messi has also signed with other companies to become the face of advertising for them, such as Gillette Barber, and Tata, the carmaker.
Today’s Wealthy Gorilla says Messi’s fortune is 400 million euros and is on the way to rise every year, with Messi’s growing fame in the world.
And with the “social media revolution,” a recent report revealed that the Argentine star’s income from the Instagram application amounts to 21 million euros annually, which is a new income added to multiple sources of income.
Messi’s fortune does not seem to be on the wane soon, especially with the recent statements of Barcelona President Jose Maria Bartolomeo, in which he called for the signing of an eternal contract with the team star.
“He is always improving and always innovating,” Bartolomeo said. “I think he has many years left and we will sit with him in the coming months until many years ahead in Barcelona.”
