Messi bought a $200 мillio𝚗 villa after winning the Golden Ball for the 8th time in his career
As soccer legend Lionel Messi settles down with Inter Miami, one question lingers: Where will he choose to call home? Perhaps Messi, much like NBA great LeBron James, will opt for an extraordinary residence.
Not unexpectedly, Lionel Messi won the 2023 Golden Ball award from France Football magazine. The ceremony to award this noble award took place at the Chatelet Theater (Paris, France) last night.
According to architect and Instagram user Veliz, the Messi Mansion in Miami took its design cues from the distinctive M shape of Lionel Messi’s trademark emblem. This three-story estate is located on a private, ship-shaped island, providing both seclusion and convenience.
What’s special is that the person who named and gave the award to Messi was David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami Club. It was Beckham who made the greatest contribution in bringing El Pulga to the US to play, opening a new and exciting chapter in this player’s career. This is the eighth Golden Ball title in Messi’s career. Previously, superstar number 10 was crowned in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019 and 2021. This player extended his great record by becoming the player who won the most Golden Balls in his career, far surpassing second-place C. Ronaldo five times.
