Net worth of your favorite football players

[post_page_title]Lionel Messi – £230 million[/post_page_title]
With a net worth of a ridiculous £230 million, it’s fair to say that Lionel Messi is pretty well paid for playing football – which is basically the dream. This Argentinian native plays for his national team and FC Barcelona and his most recent contract renewal means that he earns £500,000 every single week. Small change, right? Alongside this epic payslip, Lionel also uses his face and his name to work with some of the biggest names in the business, including Turkish Airlines, Adidas, Gillette and Pepsi, which also rake in around £21 million a year.
