Considering Lionel Messi’s status as one of the best-paid athletes globally, it comes as no shock that he has amassed a massive wealth throughout his career with Barcelona.
Lionel Messi is the proud owner of a lavish villa valued at 5.5 million pounds in the charming suburb of Castelldefels, just outside Barcelona. According to his teammate Ivan Rakitic, Messi went the extra mile for some tranquility by purchasing the house next door, ensuring he can enjoy some peace and quiet while residing in this beautiful location.
Messi’s seaside villa, located just under 20 kilometers from Camp Nou, offers a stunning ocean view and comes complete with a personal soccer field, swimming pool, and indoor gym. This allows him to train and have fun with his children whenever he wants.
This luxurious villa is situated in a restricted airspace area in Spain. Luis Suarez, who played alongside Messi, and Philippe Coutinho were also neighbors in the vicinity.
Messi has set up a special space in his home just for the soccer jerseys he has swapped with other players over the years. Among them are jerseys from legendary players like Francesco Totti, Philipp Lahm, Pablo Aimar, and Iker Casillas.
The ex-Barcelona forward also secured a long-term lease on a 12 million pound private plane for travels with his wife and kids. This customized aircraft featured stairs adorned with the names of Messi and his family, a lavatory, seating for 16 individuals, and numerous luxurious amenities.
Barcelona’s booming tourism industry presented a prime opportunity for Messi to diversify his ventures. Seizing the chance, M10 recently acquired a hotel in the charming seaside town of Sitges, just a short 42km drive from the bustling city center. Situated a mere 100 meters from the shore, Messi’s hotel boasts 77 cozy bedrooms and offers a comfortable stay for around 105 pounds per night.
The renowned footballer from Argentina has a collection of supercars valued at around 3 million pounds. At the top of the list is his priciest possession, the Pagani Zonda, which comes with a price tag of 1.5 million pounds. Messi also boasts other luxury vehicles in his collection including the Maserati GranTurismo S, GranTurismo MC Stradale, and Ferrari F430 Spider.
