Lionel Messi is one of the most famous athletes on the planet.

He's also one of the wealthiest.

With an unprecedented eight Ballon d'Ors to his name and a World Cup title added to his list of accolades, the Argentine soccer legend is undeniably the most decorated man in his sport. And all that success on the pitch has come with an incredible fortune.

Messi ranks second on Forbes' list of the year's highest-paid athletes, having raked in a whopping $130 million between May 2022 and May 2023. Having landed within the top-five highest-earning athletes on that list every year since 2014, the Inter Miami star has amassed a massive net worth that allows him to life a life of luxury.
