The couple would go on to marry at a casino in Rosario, Argentina on June 30, 2017. The event was massive and saw not just Messi’s team in attendance, but also longtime singer Shakira. He purchased MIM Hotels, which is overseen by Majestic Hotel Group, operated by Lionel’s brother, Rodrigo. He purchased the hotel chain back in 2017 and now owns a whopping 6 locations in Ibiza, Stiges, Baqueira, Majorca, Andorra, and Sotogrande. The residence boasts 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, providing ample space for comfort and entertainment.
We’re underway at Gillette, and the Revolution lead inside a minute — 7:42 p.m.
The walk Messi will take from the training facility to the stadium will be a stark example of his new reality. On game days, Inter Miami players get ready at the adjacent training facility, pass through the double doors and stroll through a nondescript parking lot that will likely be mobbed by fans and journalists. It is more of a high school football vibe than a world-class soccer atmosphere. For over a decade, Messi’s primary residence was the Barcelona-adjacent abode that he paid $2 million for in 2009, which was also around the time he won his first Ballon d’Or.
Game preview: What to know about Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution — 4:00 p.m.
The open terraces and expansive windows overlook a mesmerising view of the rolling Catalan hills and the cobalt blue Mediterranean Sea. The decor is replete with wooden floorboards, bright painted walls and panoramic glass windows. The general colour scheme implemented ranges from various shades of beiges and browns, with beige and chestnut-toned floors and dark brown and light walnut furniture. The mansion houses a gym, a spa, a private theatre, and a swimming pool. The uncomplicated and effortless decor lends the house a relaxed and calming vibe. Not much else is known about the estate, but it seems likely that the footballer will use the abode as a vacation home once the paperwork and construction are all straightened out.
It sure looks like a sellout crowd at Gillette Stadium — 7:40 p.m.
For most of his career, Lionel Messi was the face of Barcelona, amassing a mind-boggling 34 trophies, including four UEFA Champions League titles. But Messi’s brilliance doesn’t stop there; he’s equally mesmerizing on the international stage, with wins at the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 FIFA World Cup. From Barcelona to Argentina and the U.S. – Messi has been buying up mansions left and right. But he doesn’t just stop at buying luxury homes, he’s known to invest millions into each property to suit his style. Back at the Regalia, Mark Pordes and Adam Kauffman, the brokers who sold Messi the ninth-floor unit, are hoping they might see him again.
Reports say that Lionel Messi also purchased a property near his childhood home in Rosario, Argentina, so he can visit his hometown whenever he wants. Details of this home have been kept secret to protect his family’s privacy. He built the property in the upscale Bellamar neighborhood in Castelldefels. According to reports, he bought the house in 2009 for $2 million and spent millions more on renovations.
The strange phenomenon would convince anyone they were witnessing a real-world glitch
Austin FC, which began play a year later than Inter Miami, drew an average of 8,000 more fans per home game than Inter Miami last year. Inter Miami has plans for a new stadium, but it will not be ready for a few years. For now, they are here — in last place, with one of the worst average attendance figures in the league and operating under sanctions by MLS for past violations of the league’s roster rules. The club’s 50,000-square-foot training facility, which sits in the shadow of the Erector Set of a stadium, is exceptional, but in total the state of the club is far different than Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain. And that’s to say nothing of Messi’s potential South Florida teammates — there are no Xavis, Iniestas or Agueros on Inter Miami’s roster. Take a bit of “Scarface,” mix in some Versace and sprinkle in a dash of “Miami Vice” and you will end up with this 10,000-square-foot, three-level abode, 49 stories above the sands of Sunny Isles Beach.
FIFA Player Lionel Messi: Lavish Mansion in Barcelona
One buyer spent nearly 10 times as much, purchasing three field-level seats for $2,339 each. The buzz began more than 30 minutes before kickoff when the best soccer player in the world led his team on to the field for warm-ups to the flash of hundreds of cellphone cameras. Valiela, a Northeastern University student and data analyst, was a Barcelona FC fan growing up because of Messi, bonding over games with his grandfather and other family members. When Messi played at Paris Saint-Germain FC, he tracked that team, too. And since Messi signed his MLS contract, likely to close out his professional career in the US, Valiela has kept tabs on Inter Miami as well — even though he follows the MLS only “casually,” he said.

He was ranked second on this year's list of highest-paid athletes by Forbes with an estimated $130 million in earnings between May of 2022 and 2023. The new mansion is just the latest addition to his impressive real estate portfolio—he also paid a reported $7.3 million for the entire ninth floor at Regalia, an ultra-luxury condominium development in the city of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. He is said to have owned—and may still—a $7 million estate near Barcelona, a $5 million condo in Miami and a sprawling property with a 15-car garage, theater and gym in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina, according to Architectural Digest. In 2020, Messi splashed $7.3 million (Rs 60 crore) to purchase the ninth floor of the Regalia tower in Miami, per New York Post.
In that match, Messi came off the bench and played the final 30 minutes of the match, along with teammate Sergio Busquets. Gabriele Ciampi, a replacement for the regular MLS officials who have been locked out, didn’t get a chance to review a call he made 13 minutes later and that wound up costing the Galaxy a win. Inter Miami, in its fifth MLS season, has never finished with a winning record, but it starts this season not only with Messi, but with three of his former Barcelona teammates in Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez and Sergio Busquets. The quartet have combined for two World Cup wins, 32 league titles and nine UEFA Champions League crowns. In the 51st minute, it was Mateusz Bogusz’s turn to be caught in no-man’s land. Messi leisurely carried the ball into the attacking third of the field, but Bogusz had to be aware he could still embarrass a defender who overcommitted and wasn’t about to make that mistake.
Messi's swanky, custom designed Barcelona pad is located in Bellamar, which is just 12 miles from Camp Nou and 24 miles from the airport. Antonela is a model and businesswoman with a massive following on Instagram that spans over 35 million. One of Messi’s lesser-known properties in the past includes a $5 million condo at the Porsche Design Tower located in Sunny Isles Beach that he picked up in 2019. Here, we see a large gray padded accent wall with a large matching seating area. It’s easy to see Messi living here, and in Miami, with its beaches, high-end restaurants and massive Argentine population, which might even offer Lionel Messi a taste of home. Pordes can’t help but launch into a sales pitch, speaking of Miami’s appeal and rattling off A-listers who have a home in the area.
Messi’s Fort Lauderdale mansion is a true testament to luxury living. Whoever Messi ends up playing alongside, Inter Miami will play at DRV PNK. There have been rumors the club may move some games to Hard Rock Stadium, the 65,000-plus capacity home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins that is located in Miami proper, but nothing concrete has emerged. Inside Messi’s Miami home, the living room showcases gorgeous waterfront views of the backyard pool and ocean. The luxury residence also features double front doors in the entryway, porcelain tile flooring, glass and gold light fixtures and large glass windows. The eight-bedroom property has unique character features such as natural lighting, gold-detailed wallpaper, unique animal-like decor and charcoal velvet wall panels.
But Messi, like Beckham, before him is different, the best of the best in a sport the U.S. has yet to pull to its bosom. The 36-year-old -- fresh off scoring the game-winning goal in his debut for David Beckham's MLS squad last Friday -- used his day off on Sunday to check out the potential new spot for him and his family. Lionel would move away in his teens to pursue his football career in Spain, but the pair would reconnect after Messi flew back home to be there for Antonela after her best friend, Ursula Notz, passed in a tragic car accident. He won the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina and is one of only 6 players to appear in 5 World Cup matches. In reality, the photos being shown of this crazy cool estate are nothing more than 3D model images. The story is that a Spanish architect, Luis de Garrido, was commissioned by Messi to design the modern home, though there’s been no confirmation that Messi has plans to see the design through.
Two teams that would be at or near the top of anybody's "most surprising MLS teams so far in 2024" list meet at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. The Red Bulls sit just two points behind Eastern Conference-leading Inter Miami. The Whitecaps are just two points behind the Western Conference-leading Galaxy. Both RBNY and the Whitecaps have a game in hand on their respective conference leaders. Red Bulls newcomer Emil Forsberg added his second goal of the second in last week's 2-2 draw at LAFC.
Second on the list of this year’s highest-paid athletes, making over $130 million, this is not the only place the Inter Miami CF superstar lays his head. Messi also has a property at Sunny Isles Beach in Florida, a $7 million estate in Barcelona and a $5 million condo in Miami. The 10,500-square-foot house resides in the neighborhood of Bay Colony, a private, gated community.
Messi’s Miami house is a modern Florida home surrounded by palm trees and has a coastal Mediterranean style. However, Messi has denied making a statement about the airport or its operations. Vueling have been forced to issue a public apology to the Barcelona player for involving him in controversy.
Keep walking, through the personal theater and the wine cellar, and you will arrive at an elevator. It is straight out of James Bond, a pneumatic tube that sends you up to the roof deck like a deposit at a drive-thru bank. Once you’re there, take a dip in the private pool or catch some rays on the balcony, which wraps around every inch of the place. The penthouse at the Regalia building in Sunny Isles, Florida, is like a Miami fever dream come to life. Whether it’s luxury or ease, every area of your home should be as fabulous and unique as you.
