Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi's Inter Miami contract worth $150 million per year, combined with his Apple TV+ streaming deal, Adidas partnership, and endorsements from Pepsi, Hard Rock, and Budweiser, brings his estimated 2025 earnings to $135 million. His business empire, including the Mas restaurant chain and MiM Hotels, drives off-pitch income that is 30% higher than his on-pitch salary. This total trails #2 Jon Rahm by $83 million.
