Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival to the Saudi Pro League put Saudi Arabian football on the map, because although many criticized the former Real Madrid striker for making the decision to move to that country, just a few months later, other big stars such as Karim Benzema, Neymar, Sadio Mané and even Steven Gerrard, followed in his footsteps and went to earn millions in the exotic Saudi league.

Like them, Lionel Messi had the opportunity to sign for a Saudi Arabian team, which offered him the chance to be the highest paid player in the world, even above Cristiano Ronaldo. In that sense, it is worth mentioning that according to the portal Salary Sport, the Portuguese star receives an annual salary of 198 million dollars. However, Messi decided to reject that offer and went to live a quieter life in Miami.

Despite having turned down millions of dollars, Lionel Messi still has a huge salary in the MLS with Inter Miami, where according to Salary Sport data he earns a little more than 21 million dollars per year. It is clear that Messi is not short of money, because in addition to his salary, the Argentinean pockets a large amount of money with his image rights and that is why he can afford his luxurious lifestyle in Miami.

Messi bought a mansion to live in during his stay in the United States with Inter Miami with a value of exactly 10.8 million dollars. The home is located in an exclusive residential complex, which will be 15 minutes away from the DRV PNK Stadium, home of the Florida team. The mansion has 3,200 square meters, the master bedroom is 488 square meters, has a swimming pool and even a spa. His new home has 8 bedrooms, 9 and a half bathrooms, a gym, two boat docks and can fit three cars in his garage.
