The Great Miami Spice Trade: How Much Did Inter Miami Shell Out for Messi?

How Much Did Messi Get Paid To Go To Inter Miami |
The Headline-Grabbing Numbers:
- Over $20 million a year guaranteed. That's enough to buy a small island, a lifetime supply of dulce de leche, and maybe even a David Beckham haircut (though with Messi's mane, we wouldn't recommend it).
- A reported total package of $125-$150 million over two and a half years. Let's just say Messi won't be clipping coupons at the grocery store anytime soon.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.

So, the real answer is... it's complicated! Messi's Miami move is a multi-layered financial maneuver. But one thing's for sure: he's not exactly slumming it in South Beach.
How Much for That Messi Magic? Priceless!
