Lionel Messi is about to call this multi-million dollar waterfront mansion home. 

The Inter Miami player and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo just dropped a huge amount of money on the estate.

And there’s a very good reason they chose this particular property too.

The Fort Lauderdale mansion has eight bedrooms, nine-and-a-half baths and is part of a private gated community reserved for the rich and famous. 

The home opens to a 27-foot-high domed ceiling and has a home gym, spa, entertaining lounge, and a massive 1,600-square-foot master bedroom. 

It also has a pool with water views and two docks for the couple’s boats. 

But most importantly, it’s right near the Inter Miami soccer stadium. 

So, what does a place like this cost?

Messi just bought the property in an off-market deal that would make most people’s eyes water. 

The Argentinian superstar dropped $10.8 million on the South Florida mansion. 

And while that kind of money would make most people balk, it’s a mere drop in the ocean for Messi.

Messi, who left Paris Saint-Germain to join Inter Miami in July, has an estimated net worth of $600 million. 

That net worth is generated by not just his football contract, but endorsement deals and business investments. 

Messi was named in second place on Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes in the world this year, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo. 

Messi’s South Florida mansion is just the latest in the footballer’s growing real estate portfolio.

He already has homes dotted right across the world, one of which is an apartment at the exclusive Porsche Design Tower in Miami.

The $5 million penthouse is no normal apartment either. 

The Porsche Design Tower has a ‘sky garage’ which is essentially a fancy car lift that will deliver your supercar directly to your apartment.
