    Lionel Messi's net worth
    Messi’s net worth is $400 million, according to estimates

    While the soccer star has earned his fortune, it has gotten him in trouble with the authorities. In 2016, he and his father were sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud in Spain. They defrauded the country out of the equivalent of $4.5 million between 2007 and 2009 by concealing earnings from image rights in tax havens in Belize and Uruguay, a court ruled.

    Messi was just 13 when he moved to Spain to begin playing for Barcelona’s junior teams. In 2005, he became the youngest player to score for Barcelona, though that record has since been broken.

    Most people don't know Messi underwent hormone therapy to help with his growth. I wonder if he would still be a superstar without the juice. Him a couple inches shorter would have changed everything.

      Why are you trying to belittle Messi success by mentioning a kid who went to doctor to fix his growth deficiency as if he cheated by using steroids during his playing days?? Come on now, Messi was diagnosed with Growth deficiency and doctor prescribed him whatever necessary to help him achieve his normal growth, and don't try to belittle his success.

      You are trying to assume whether Messi would have the same career if he were a few inches shorter? No shit. That's like saying if Ronaldo would have the same success if say he had heart disease when he was a child and didn't go to doctor to fix it, penetrate yeah his career won't be the same, jesus christ.

        Messi is the greatest soccer player of all time! I would never belittle him. I think it makes him more of a hero to know that he overcame his deficiency. Wondering how great he would have been is a little hypothetical i indulge myself with some time. If you have a problem with that I suggest you see the door!
