Recently revealed images of Lionel Messi’s exquisite residence provide a fresh insight into the World Cup winner’s luxurious life in Florida.
After signing a two-and-a-half-year deal valued at $50–60 million per season, the soccer star relocated to Florida during the summer after joining David Beckham’s Major League Soccer franchise, Inter Miami.
According to Dailymail on Sunday, after spending his first few months living in a $9m apartment seconds away from ‘golden beach’, the Argentine and his wife Antonella bought a sprawling $10.75m estate in Fort Lauderdale in September.
The luxurious property boasts ten bedrooms, a spa room, two boat docks, and a magnificent swimming pool.
This 10,500-square-foot home is located within the gated community of Bay Colony, one of the floating neighbourhoods north of Fort Lauderdale. It is just off the beachfront and a 15-minute drive from Inter Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium and training base.
The house features an Italian kitchen, a fitness and spa room, a VIP suite, and a balcony overlooking the Fort Lauderdale skyline.
Messi, who is enjoying the offseason, bought the property with the help of Team Simpkin. Since its founding in 2018, Team Simpkin has helped players at the MLS club buy properties. He also reportedly purchased a Miami apartment in the Porsche Design Tower in 2019.
The tower provides exclusive car lifts for residents, allowing them to park their vehicles in their private suites. In addition to these amenities, Messi’s striking home includes a private cinema and entertainment area with golf and racing simulators, offering ideal leisure opportunities for his family.
