What is Lionel Messi’s net worth?
CelebrityNetWorth puts his fortune at $1 billion. Barcelona contracts, endorsement income and the Miami arrangement all contribute.
Sources of wealth
The Inter Miami package includes a share of Apple’s MLS Season Pass subscriptions and an option on a team stake, an arrangement unlike any previous player contract.
He has a lifetime Adidas agreement, a hotel line with Majestic Group, and long-running partnerships with brands from PepsiCo to Hard Rock.
How the fortune was built
Messi came through La Masia and spent seventeen seasons at Barcelona, where he won ten La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues. The 2021 move to Paris Saint-Germain followed a salary-cap dispute.
His 2022 World Cup win with Argentina closed the one gap in his record and increased the value of every commercial agreement that followed.
How we estimate it
We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Revenue-share contracts are not public in detail, so that component is an estimate.
