Lionel Messi is an Argentinian-born professional footballer who has a net worth of $400 million. Lionel Messi has earned his net worth as the striker and winger of the FC Barcelona and the Argentina National Team.
Often considered the best player in the world and widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Messi has won a record six Ballon d’Or awards and a record six European Golden Shoes. He has spent his entire professional career with Barcelona, where he has won a club-record 34 trophies, including ten La Liga titles, four UEFA Champions League titles, and six Copas del Rey.
A prolific goalscorer and creative playmaker, Messi holds the records for most goals in La Liga (445), a La Liga and European league season (50), most hat-tricks in La Liga (36) and the UEFA Champions League (8), and most assists in La Liga (183), a La Liga and European league season (21) and the Copa América (12). He has scored over 700 senior career goals for club and country.
He has been the highest-paid player in a number of years. For example, in 2020 he earned $130 million – roughly $92 million from base salary and another $38 million from endorsements. Despite all this, Lionel Messi is not a billionaire, at least not yet. By the time his current contract with Barcelona is over, with endorsements he will have earned north of $1 billion. Some outlets misread that stat and declared him a “billionaire”. His next contract after the 2020 season will easily be one of the largest sports contracts in history and will likely bring his career earnings up to $1.5 billion by the time it completes.

He has competed in ten NBA Finals, the third-most all-time, including eight consecutively between 2011 and 2018.
In 2021, James was selected to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, and in 2022 became the first member of the 10K-10K-10K Club (accumulating 10,000 or more career points, rebounds, and assists)
In June 2022, LeBron James became a billionaire, marking the first time an active NBA player has achieved that milestone, according to one calculation. Forbes said that the Los Angeles Lakers star had “maximized his business,” generating more than $1.2 billion in pretax earnings. His NBA salary from three different teams during the past 19 years had amounted to $383 million, and James had “raked in upwards of $900 million in income from endorsements and other business ventures,” the magazine said.
He earns more than $60-90 million per year in endorsements and has a $1 billion lifetime contract with Nike. He has parlayed his fame and wealth into a veritable business empire, with investments in a number of startups. He is a part-owner of Liverpool F.C.
