Lionel Messi, one of the greatest footballers of all time, finally achieved his destiny by winning the prestigious FIFA World Cup trophy and adding it to his collection. Messi’s reputation will climb even higher if Argentina is victorious in the final match against France in Qatar, and he will receive a large windfall from the victory. Messi already earns more money than any other athlete on the planet, so this would be an impressive addition to his resume.

Last year, Messi’s football contracts brought in an astounding Rs 616 crore, which is equivalent to $75 million. Off the pitch, he made an additional Rs 450 crore, which is equivalent to almost $55 million, through investments and sponsorships. It is estimated that his overall net worth exceeds Rs 4800 crore, which is equal to $600 million. Messi takes home around 7.26 lakh rupees every hour thanks to the club income he receives from the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
