Lionel Messi is an extremely wealthy man, but his wealth pales in comparison to that of Michael Jordan.
The Barcelona legend has signed an intriguing contract with Inter Miami that will reportedly see him receive a cut of profits from shirt sales and an MLS subscription on Apple TV. All these perks also come with a massive salary believed to be worth $50 million to $60 million per year.
He also achieved many financial successes through a series of shrewd investments and other transactions. However, if the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner aspires to enjoy the same wealth as the six-time NBA Ballon d’Or winner, he will need to add several billion dollars to his current value.
