Hotels, clothing brands and mansions, Messi's fortune outside of soccer

Since his debut as a professional player with Barcelona in 2004, Lionel Messi has come a long way. In his nearly 20-year career, he has earned the respect of his peers and the admiration of millions of fans around the world. He is the most decorated player of all time, with 43 titles, in addition to being the most Ballon d'Or winner by France Football magazine (8 times) and The Best award by FIFA (3 times).

This prestige has allowed him to be successful off the field as well. According to Forbes magazine, he has a net worth of more than $400 million, a figure that has increased considerably in recent months thanks to his arrival at Inter Miami. There he has a salary of almost $50 million per season, in addition to other income from commercial agreements with companies such as Adidas and Apple TV.

That fortune has allowed him to invest in other businesses unrelated to soccer. For example, according to El Financiero, he is a partner in the chain MiM Hotels, which has luxury hotels in several places in Spain such as Mallorca, Sitges, Ibiza and Baqueira. He also owns his own clothing brand, The Messi Store, which is run by his sister Maria Sol and fashion designer Ginny Hilfiger.

To all this must be added the properties Leo has acquired in different parts of the world. In his hometown of Rosario he has a huge mansion where he usually enjoys his vacations in the Argentine summer. He also has his house in Casteldefells, a town near Barcelona, where he lived before moving to Paris Saint-Germain. And in Miami he owns two luxury apartments, in the Porsche Design Tower and the Regalia Tower House, in addition to the mansion he bought last year in Fort Lauderdale.
