Lionel Messi @ Multi-Thousand-Crore Business Empire!

Lionel Messi is not just a world-famous footballer but also one of the richest athletes globally. Behind his legendary career lies a massive business empire worth over ₹7,665 crore. A large share of this wealth comes from his investments in luxury hotels, clothing brands, media companies, and real estate, along with his high-value Inter Miami contract and numerous brand endorsements.

Messi owns the MIM Hotels chain located in Ibiza, Mallorca, Sitges, Baqueira, and Andorra, operated by the Majestic Hotel Group. In 2019, he launched The Messi Store, offering sportswear and lifestyle apparel both in Barcelona and worldwide through online sales. In 2024, he expanded further by launching his own energy drink brand, Mas+, which is performing strongly in the U.S. market.

In 2022, Messi founded Rosario Media Company, which produces family shows, sports content, and OTT projects in collaboration with Argentine creators and Hollywood studios. He has also invested in the El Club de la Milanesa restaurant group and launched a tech investment firm, Play Time Sports, further strengthening his financial footprint beyond football.
