I noticed an interesting trend – over the past 10 years, Messi's wealth has grown threefold. If in 2016 it was around 280 million, now it's close to 900 million. Quite a wild increase, honestly.
The biggest jump happened after 2020. That's when contracts with top clubs and sponsorship deals started to grow. In 2021, it was already 600 million, and in 2022 it surpassed 650. Then the growth continued – by 2024, it was already 800 million.
According to sources like Forbes and Bloomberg, this growth is linked to elite contracts, record-breaking sponsorship partnerships in Europe and the US, plus payments for success in global tournaments and major transfers. It turns out Messi's wealth is increasing not only from salary but also from commercial projects. It's interesting to see how sports have turned into such a financial instrument.
