One of the world’s most accomplished footballers, Lionel Messi, made a surprise transfer this year to join Major League Soccer (MLS) side Inter Miami CF, co-owned by Daʋid Beckham.
Showing his prowess on the pitch, he has already contributed to his new team’s success by helping them win the League Cup. However, the property that is being talked about the most at the moment is the new home of Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.
Designer Jorge Luis Veliz recently shared pictures of the couple’s futuristic home concept, estimated to be worth $50 million (around Rs 413 crore), on social media. Veliz has shared the futuristic concept of the 2022 World Cup-winning footballer’s new home – a jaw-dropping mansion located on a boat-shaped island, providing the couple with seclusion and exclusivity. The three floors of the mansion are a work of contemporary design art. Here are some new and never-before-seen images to back up my claim.
The 36-year-old reportedly turned down an offer from Saudi side Al-Hilal that would have paid him $300 million (around Rs 2.5 billion) a year. Instead, Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas announced that he has secured a contract with an MLS franchise that will pay him between $50 and $60 million a year (around Rs 413 and Rs 496 million). Messi will still earn millions of dollars through endorsements such as his exclusive revenue-sharing deal with Adidas, even if the amount is lower than what Al-Hilal offered him. According to ESPN, he will also share in the earnings from MLS fans who subscribe to Apple’s Liʋe Pass.
With Messi’s new deal worth an estimated $600 million (around Rs 4,965 crore), the Argentine footballer will soon be able to afford a brand new mansion, customized and equipped with every imaginable amenity. There will be a theatre, games room, football pitch, spiral-designed water slide, yacht harbour, parking for 20 cars, a beautifully decorated party room, three helipads and more in his new mansion. The house also boasts a spectacular and expansive view of the picturesque Miami coastline. Here are some never-before-seen images of Messi’s M-shaped Miami mansion.
In 2019, Messi reportedly purchased a beachfront condo in the Sunny Isles Beach region, as Architectural Digest reported. The Porsche Design Tower condo is 3,555 square feet in size and features three bathrooms. Among its many cutting-edge features are a private pool on a terrace, a car-transporting elevator made of glass, and much more.
Two years after his previous purchase, in 2021, Messi spent over $7.3 million (roughly Rs 60 crore) on a penthouse in Miami. The penthouse contains four bedrooms, a spa, a fitness and yoga studio, and a children’s playhouse, and is on the ninth floor of Regalia Tower. The views of the Miami skyline are spectacular. Messi reportedly put the house up for sale just a few months after purchasing it, as reported by The Sun.
The World Cup-winning footballer has made significant real estate investments and now owns multi-million-dollar homes in IƄiza, Barcelona and Rosario (Messi’s residence). See all his investments here.
