A napkin from his first soccer contract went for about $1 million. His most recent profitable contract is a $60 million annual one with Inter Miami CF of Major League Soccer. Messi made still another great real estate decision in 2025.

Messi’s REIT shares were valued at $60 apiece following public listing, therefore adding to the overall worth of the portfolio to $232 million.
