Early Life

Lionel Messi was born in Rosario, Argentina on June 24, 1987.

Messi was born with a growth hormone deficiency but was not diagnosed until he was 10. He started playing for the local football club when he was six years old, and in the six years he played with him, he scored almost 500 goals.

When Messi was 13, he was offered a chance to train at FC Barcelona’s youth academy. The school also offered to pay for his medical treatment, so his whole family moved to Spain. During his first season, he scored 36 goals in 30 games as the top scorer. Following this season, he quickly moved through the ranks and became noticed by professional teams.

Professional Soccer Career

At 16, Messi started playing for FC Barcelona and became the youngest player to score a goal for the franchise. That season concluded with Messi leading his team to an under-20 World Cup title.

In 2009, he led Barcelona to capture the Champions League, La Liga, and Spanish Super Cup titles. Despite setting records at a young age, Messi strove to improve his skills. In 2012, he passed the record for most goals scored and became Barcelona’s all-time leading scorer. He also set the record for most goals scored in a single calendar year.

2017-2018 started with Messi extending his goalscoring record. Despite injuries that have plagued him in past seasons, Messi has proven himself a valuable player for Barcelona.

In March, he became the second player to score his 99^th and 100^th Champions League goals. His efforts this season have led Barcelona to the quarter-finals for the eleventh consecutive season.

Barcelona Salary

The above table features estimates of Lionel Messi’s annual salary based on the contracts he has signed throughout his career. We could not find figures relating to his first few years with Barcelona, between 2004 and 2006.

According to Forbes, Barcelona increased Messi’s annual salary to €8.5 million ($11.3 million) in 2007. In 2009, his salary was increased to €11 million ($14.6 million); in 2012, it was increased again to €16 million ($21.2 million). For the years between the above pay rises, we don’t know whether his salary remained the same for all the years leading up to the subsequent increase.

By 2013, Messi was earning approximately €20.5 million/year ($27.1 million), and he saw astronomical rises in his salary for the remainder of his time at Barcelona. In 2016, his salary jumped from €28.5 million ($31.5 million) to €38.3 million ($43.5 million). By 2018, he was receiving €71 million/year ($83.3 million) in base salary.

In 2021, after seventeen seasons with the club, Messi left Barcelona, having earned approximately €435.5 million ($524.7 million), likely closer to €450 million ($542.5 million), including 2004-2006.

PSG & Inter Miami Earnings

From 2021 to 2023, Messi played two seasons with PSG, earning a combined €127.3 million ($150.8 million). In 2023, he signed with Inter Miami, earning a base salary of €11.4 million ($12.2 million). While that figure might seem low, there are two important things to mention:

A €11.4 million ($12.2 million) base salary makes Messi the highest-paid player in the MLS.
As part of the agreement, Messi secured a profit-sharing deal with Apple and Adidas, two of the MLS’ biggest partners. This is projected to push Messi’s total earnings from his contract to $60 million/year.

Later in the article, we’ll look at Messi’s endorsement deals and estimated total earnings, which factor in his other income sources. However, regarding base salary and bonuses, Lionel Messi is estimated to have earned roughly €600 million ($699 million) during his career.

Visit Saudi Endorsement Deal

In 2021, Messi signed a three-year endorsement contract with the Saudi Arabian government as part of their Visit Saudi tourism campaign. The country has been making efforts to boost tourism and improve its reputation in recent years. The New York Times obtained details of the contract, which is reportedly worth almost $25 million over three years.

Messi’s agreement contained four annual obligations for which he would be paid $2 million each. They are as follows:

Take at least one five-day family vacation or two three-day vacations to Saudi Arabia within the year. The government will pay for five-star accommodations and travel expenses for Messi and up to twenty of his family and friends.
Participate in an annual tourism campaign, typically involving video advertisements.
Promote Saudi Arabia on his social media ten times yearly with the hashtag #VisitSaudi.
Lastly, participating in charitable work and special appearances.

All four terms are worth $2 million individually, equating to $8 million per year and $24 million during the contract’s lifespan. The contract does contain one crucial stipulation: Messi must not say anything that could “tarnish” Saudi Arabia’s reputation.

Lionel enjoys traveling by his private jet, which is valued at $15,000,000 and includes a kitchen, two bathrooms, and 16 seats that can be folded into beds. During the summers, Messi travels with his family on a yacht, which can cost $50,000 per week.

Summary

Lionel Messi has overcome adversity and odds to become a record-breaking football player. He has shown that no matter how great you are, you are never too great to improve. He has also become a vocal children’s rights advocate, using his skills to help others. His net worth reflects his time and dedication to his craft.

Net Worth History

The first time we tracked Todd Gurley’s net worth, sources valued it at $4 million in 2020. Gurley had retired the year before. However, we believe this estimate dates to 2017 and has not been updated in a few years. From 2018 up until his retirement, Gurley earned an additional $47.5 million in the NFL. As of 2024, his net worth is estimated to be roughly $20 Million.

NFL Salary

Year	Team	Salary
2015	St. Louis Rams	$8,779,938
2016	Los Angeles Rams	$1,063,326
2017	Los Angeles Rams	$1,691,653
2018	Los Angeles Rams	$21,950,000
2019	Los Angeles Rams	$5,000,000
2020	Atlanta Falcons	$5,531,369
Total Career Earnings:		$49,066,286

In 2015, Todd Gurley signed a 4-year contract with the St. Louis Rams worth $13.8 million. Gurley received an $8.3 million signing bonus, and the contract was guaranteed for $9.4 million. He earned $8.8 million in his first NFL season.

In 2018, Gurley negotiated a new four-year deal worth $57.5 million with the Los Angeles Rams. His signing bonus was $21 million. After two years, the Rams cut Gurley, citing that he wasn’t worth the money. He earned $27 million on the contract before being released.

In 2020, Todd signed a one-year $5.5 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons, which included a $2 million signing bonus.

After retiring, Todd Gurley had earned $49.1 million in the NFL.

Endorsements

During his NFL career, Todd Gurley consistently earned additional income off the field through brand endorsements. The most notable of which was his Nike sponsorship, which began the moment he was drafted to the league. Gurley also secured endorsement deals with several other brands, often appearing in commercials for Carl’s Jr., Gatorade, Hardee’s, and Pizza Hut. His earnings from said deals were never disclosed to the public, but they definitely helped supplement his NFL income.

HUNGRY Investment

In 2020, Todd joined rapper Jay-Z and fellow NFL player Bobby Wagner to invest in HUNGRY. This office and event catering company currently operates in thirteen cities throughout the United States. Before Gurley’s investment, Jay-Z had already invested $8 million into HUNGRY. It’s unclear how much Gurley invested, although we do know it was during the company’s $20 million Series B funding round. In their previous round, HUNGRY also secured investments from Usher and Ndamukong Suh.

Real Estate

In May 2017, Todd Gurley paid $1.825 million for a 5,133-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Chatsworth, California. The property features a distinctive outdoor pool with a rock-formation waterfall. Gurley relisted the house in August 2020 at $2.3 million and sold it for just over $2 million in January 2021. All things considered, he either broke even on the investment or made a minor loss.

Just before listing his previous home for sale, Gurley upgraded to a 10,319-square-foot, six-bedroom home just down the street. He paid $4.15 million for the property and remains the current owner at the time of writing. It now has an estimated value of $4.7 million.

Rookie Contract

After being selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2008 NFL Draft, Matt Ryan signed a six-year, $67.5 million rookie contract with the team. At the time, this was the highest-value contract signed by a rookie in NFL history and would be equivalent to $101.8 million today. Ryan was knocked off the top spot a year later when Matthew Stafford signed a $72 million deal with the Detroit Lions. The current record holder is Sam Bradford, who signed his $76 million rookie contract with the St. Louis Rams in 2010.

Despite the high value, only $34.5 million (just over half) of the contract was guaranteed. Ryan also received a $7.45 million signing bonus, which was pro-rated and paid out over the course of the contract. From 2010 onward, the quarterback was comfortably earning more than $10 million per year, but he secured only $39.6 million of the contract’s total value.

Nine-Figure Extension

When it came time to sign his first extension in 2013, Matt Ryan secured a five-year, $103.75 million contract, inking his first nine-figure deal. Once again, the guarantee was relatively low, at just $42 million overall. He also received a $28 million signing bonus, paid over two years ($13 million in the first season and $15 million in the second). In 2014, Ryan also received a $12 million option bonus, bringing his total to $36.5 million that year. Overall, he secured $94.5 million of the contract’s value.

Final NFL Contract

In 2018, Ryan signed his second nine-figure contract and the final contract of his NFL career, which was a $150 million, five-year deal. This time, he secured a much higher guarantee of $100 million, providing a substantial safety net, though he wouldn’t really need it. The first four years of the contract were spent at the Falcons, earning him an additional $117.5 million with the team, before he finished his career with the Indianapolis Colts.

Matt Ryan officially announced his retirement in 2024, after fifteen years in the NFL. He earned a total of $288.4 million in salary and bonuses, of which $251.6 million came from the Atlanta Falcons.

Real Estate

In January 2017, Matt Ryan paid $4.36 million for a 9,933-square-foot, five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in Atlanta, Georgia. The property, situated on 1.16 acres, features an outdoor pool, a games room, a gym, and a wine room. Ryan relisted the property for sale in 2020 with an asking price of $5 million, but accepted an offer of $4.6 million in January 2021.

He’s also signed a $100 million deal with the Amazon Wondery podcast service for “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.” That figure is split between the Kelce brothers over a three-year period, and although it was only signed in 2024, it will help Jason replace the income he previously earned from playing football.

As of 2025, Jason Kelce’s net worth is estimated to be roughly $60 Million.

Total Career Earnings:		$83,208,745

In 2011, Jason Kelce signed a 4-year rookie contract with the Philadelphia Eagles worth $2.1 million. Kelce earned just $472,432 for his first NFL season.

In 2014, Kelce signed a much more lucrative deal with the Eagles, worth $37.5 million over six years. He received a $6 million signing bonus, with the contract guaranteed for $13 million. With the help of his bonus, Kelce earned $7.4 million for the 2014 season. His 2015 earnings would amount to $3.2 million, and his earnings would increase by roughly $1 million/year until the end of the contract.

In 2019, Kelce signed a new 3-year contract worth $24.5 million with the Eagles. The deal was guaranteed $17.5 million, including a $7.6 million signing bonus. Kelce was supposed to earn $5.5 million for the last year of the contract. However, he negotiated a new one-year deal, increasing his value to $9 million.

His final NFL contract was a 1-year extension in 2023 worth $14.25 million.

After 13 seasons in the NFL, Jason Kelce earned $81.7 million.

Marriott Bonvoy Endorsement

In September 2024, shortly after retiring from the sport, Jason Kelce signed a lucrative deal with Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott, reportedly worth $2.4 million. The former is the company’s award-winning travel program, while the latter is the NFL’s Official Hotel Partner. As part of his endorsement deal with Marriott, Kelce would take on the role of ‘Fanbassador’, which essentially allowed Marriott Bonvoy members to join in on fan activities with Kelce.

There were 18 “Fanbassador Moments” featuring Jason, several of which include meet-and-greets at various events. Reports also suggest that Kelce received a $450,000 signing bonus from Marriott, possibly bringing the deal’s total value up to $2.85 million. Based on our research, it appears that this contract lasted for just a single NFL season.

Additional Endorsements

Jason Kelce has quite an impressive portfolio of brand commercial work. He’s appeared in dozens of commercials over the years, many of which also include his brother, Travis Kelce. This list of commercials includes work for BREWMITE, Buffalo Wild Wings, Lucky Charms, Kingsford, Campbell’s Chunky Soup, and YouTube TV. Looking at the list, you can probably tell that his interests in brand deals revolve heavily around food and beer. We should also note that Kelce is a co-owner of Garage Beer’s BREWMITE, and not just an endorser.

Amazon Wondery Podcast Deal

After 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce brought his experience, authentic personality, and storytelling expertise to the New Heights podcast. Then, in August 2024, he and his brother signed a three-year, $100 million deal with Amazon’s Wondery podcast service, granting the platform exclusive rights to distribute and monetize the show, including its back catalog. The deal also offers ad-free episodes on Wondery+ and ensures the podcast’s growing fanbase can access it across platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Since its launch in 2022, New Heights has struck a chord with listeners through its candid discussions about the NFL and life beyond the game, with Jason’s honest and approachable style playing a pivotal role in its success. His retirement earlier in the year allowed him to dedicate more time to the podcast, offering behind-the-scenes insights into his professional football career and helping cement its position as a top-ranked sports podcast.

For Kelce, this deal is about more than financial success, as it allows him to remain connected to the game while building a new chapter after football. His shift from player to podcaster showcases his versatility and determination, demonstrating that his impact on the world of sports reaches well beyond his playing career.

Real Estate

In January 2018, Jason Kelce paid $680,000 for a 3,860-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Haverford, Pennsylvania. A couple of years later, he also bought the property adjacent to him, which comprised 7.97 acres of land and a 3,754-square-foot, four-bedroom house. Kelce paid $3.96 million for this property. Finally, in September 2023, he acquired the property on the other side of his first home for $1.35 million. This is a 3,530-square-foot, five-bedroom home on 1.07 acres.

As a result, Kelce paid a total of $5.99 million for a little over 10 acres of land, joined together, and has plans to demolish all the existing homes and build a custom mansion. He recently received approval to build a new home on the property, much to his neighbors’ dismay. Still, reports indicate that it will be an additional home rather than a replacement for the existing properties.
