As of 2022, Lionel Messi’s net worth is $600 million, making him one of the richest soccer players in the world
Messi has a net worth of roughly R6 billion, which allows him to pretty much buy whatever automobile he wants. Take a look at some of the vehicles in his garage, which range from a regular Toyota that is reasonably priced to a rare Ferrari that costs R500 million.
1. Ferrari F430 Spider
Let’s start the list with the F430 spider, one of my all-time favorite Ferrari models. The F430, which replaced the Ferrari 360, was the most “cheapest” way to experience the prancing horse’s exciting lineup of mid-engine V8 automobiles.
Today, you can purchase one of these babies for about R1.6 million, and they frequently hold their value exceptionally well. The average new MSRP was around $180 K (in SA, it was around R1.9 -2 million when it was launched). It comes as no surprise that Messi purchased one of these.
2. Audi R8 Spyder
You can’t go wrong with the Audi R8 in terms of value. The R8 was a high-performance vehicle with a starting price of $116,000 (R1.6 million), achieving 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.9 seconds, 97 to 200 km/h in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 316 km/h.
For comparable performance, you can anticipate paying twice or three times as much for alternative brands.
3. Maserati GranTurismo S
One of the most attractive Maserati vehicles now for sale is this one. The GrandTurismo starts at about $150 K and has the performance to justify that price.
The Tipo F136 V-8’s 4.2-liter and 4.7-liter Maserati variants were created by Ferrari as a more powerful, cross-plane sister to the mid-mounted, flat-plane-crank 4.3-liter V-8 of the Ferrari F430.
4. Audi RS6 Avant Performance
The time when estates were sluggish, uninteresting, grandmother automobiles is long gone. The Audi RS6 Avant is the epitome of a sleeper; in comfort mode, it is quiet and appears to be an unremarkable everyday car to the unobservant eye.
However, when you switch it to race mode, the suspension tightens, the exhausts open up, and the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 (591 horsepower) accelerates you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds while reaching a top speed of more than 300 km/h.
5. Audi Q7
Messi and the rest of Barcelona’s football stars received the vehicle from Audi. This is still a fantastic luxury car that can fit a large family, and the newest models provide outstanding comfort and a ton of high-end equipment.
The Q7 starts at $60,000 in price (R900 K)
6. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
Messi received a free automobile as well, this one. After a fantastic performance in a game, Toyota actually gave it to Messi.
I’d be surprised if Messi ever got rid of the Toyota Prado because it’s a fantastic family vehicle and has that renowned Toyota dependability.
7. Land Rover Range Rover Sport
While preserving regular practicality and exceptional performance for an SUV, the Land Rover Sports offers outstanding luxury. Although it is generally more expensive than its pear counterparts, its appearance and functionality more than make up for this.
Messi probably won’t have nightmares about the base model’s MSRP of $69,500 (R1.1 million).
8. Range Rover Vogue
Although this is the entry-level model in Land Rover’s premium lineup, it offers just as much excellent comfort and refinement as its more expensive siblings. It does provide for a fantastic everyday soccer practice session for Messi.
9. Lexus RX 450h
The Argentine icon didn’t want to fall behind since it appears that everyone is contributing to safeguarding the environment.
Messi went with the 3.5L V6-powered Lexus RX 450h. Two motors located in the front and back axles of the hybrid vehicle allow it to run entirely on electricity.
10. 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8.
Without at least one American muscle vehicle, no collection of automobiles is complete. Messi chose the ominous 2012 Dodge Charger SRT, which has a top speed of 280 km/h.
The weekend star is able to do this thanks to the rear-wheel, manual beast:
11. Toyota Prius
One car in particular attracts a lot of criticism from the automotive community, and it is simple to understand why at first appearance.
The Prius has some of the best fuel economy ratings of any car on the market, but it is by no means sporty and can only seat up to five people. I believe the main reason for this is that the Prius is very good at what it does and exudes an air of arrogance.
When Messi won the MVP award at the World Cup that year, which was held in Japan, Toyota gave him this automobile. If I were gifted, I would personally retain it.
12. Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti
This stunning 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti is the last vehicle on the list. Additionally, it is the priciest vehicle in his collection. A 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti was auctioned off in 2016 for around $36 million (R540 million). Additionally, it is one of the rarest Ferraris ever produced.
These are a some of the vehicles Messi has in his garage; the athlete is said to own more than 20 vehicles total.
The young people in your life can find a lot of inspiration and encouragement in the life of Lionel Messi. It takes time to become successful; begin with little steps, and before you know it, you’ll be able to exhale to the heavens
