Being
it’s Superbowl Sunday, we offer best wishes for superstar Tom Brady and his
Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City Chiefs – may the best
team win! However I write today about another superstar. Football fans worldwide were treated to
some hot sporting gossip this ast week after superstar player Lionel Messi’s Barcelona contract
was leaked. The
four-year contract signed in 2017 stipulates that the 33-year-old
striker-captain was promised an insane €555,237,619… most of which Messi
has already received. Yes, that’s more than half
a billion. That number is already
outrageous and crazy at
face value, but when you break it down further, it only gets crazier. Well beyond the multiple bonuses on offer (over €115
million just for renewing his contract and over €14 million for winning the Champions
League being just two on the list), Messi was pocketing a bare minimum of
€138,809,405 every single year.
That’s
€11,567,450 per month.
That’s
€2,669,411 per week.
That’s €380,299
per day.
That’s €15,845
per hour.
That’s €264 per
minute.
That’s €4
per second.
Really is any person worth so much, when so many millions
are on the brink of starvation?
