The soccer player's market price changes as time passes, that's why many of the stars of the moment who are over 30 years old are not as expensive as they used to be. This happens because their resale value decreases each year.

These are the cases of Lionel Messi (33 years old) and Cristiano Ronaldo (36 years old), that however, being two of the best players in the world, they are still worth a fortune: both have left an indelible mark on the Europeoan soccer, with their goals and with their talent.

But the fact it's that actually, according to Transfermarket, their market values are not the same as some years ago when they were in their best level. The Argentinian star is worth $97 million, while Juventus' striker $73 million.

 

Galileo is an Irish horse who dominated the racing world at the beginning of the millennium and is no longer competing. However, unlike what happens with athletes, his value has increased after the end of his career.


 

 

According to the British site The Sun, Galileo has a cost of USD $200 million, although its owners are not considering selling it. The incredible thing is that this 22 years old quadruped exceeds the market value of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Together!
