Lionel Messi, known for being one of the greatest footballers globally, has lived in some very luxurious and expensive properties, which is expected considering his immense success and substantial net worth of $524 million.
Over time, Messi has owned several impressive homes, including mansions in Barcelona and Miami, and more recently, he has added properties in Ibiza and Rosario to his portfolio. SunSport offers a glimpse into Messi’s homes, valued at around £23 million in total.
In Barcelona, Messi resided in Castelldefels, a suburb known for its wealthy inhabitants. The home boasted spectacular sea views and was situated in a no-fly zone, requiring planes to alter their flight paths. 
The property was a mere 12 miles from Camp Nou, featuring a small football pitch, a swimming pool, an indoor gym, and a playground. It’s unclear if Messi still owns this property, now valued at £5.5 million.
In 2020, Messi invested £5 million in a luxurious apartment in Miami, fueling speculation about a potential move to MLS with David Beckham’s Inter Miami. Located in Sunny Isles Beach, the apartment features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, 360-degree views of the Miami skyline, and a 1,000-bottle wine cellar. 
The complex includes six pools, a spa, fitness center, yoga studio, children’s playhouse, and a champagne bar. Reports suggest Messi may have put this property on the market last year.
Messi’s latest acquisition is a £9.5 million holiday home in Ibiza, which needs some renovation due to planning issues. The mansion reportedly lacks a certificate of occupancy due to unauthorized construction in the garage area before Messi’s purchase.
In his hometown of Rosario, Messi is believed to have spent £3 million on a mansion known as ‘The Fortress’, located in a gated community. The home includes a cinema, a fully-equipped gym, an underground garage for 15 cars, and around 20-25 rooms. A large portrait of Messi in his Argentina No10 shirt is said to adorn the property. Messi’s father, Jorge, reportedly oversaw the design of this home, where Messi might eventually retire.
