Soccer icon Lionel Messi has made South Florida his new home, and his $10.8 million mansion in Fort Lauderdale has grabbed attention online.
Lionel Messi has hit the headlines once again, with his free kick cementing Inter Miami's victory against Porto in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. His performance in the game has also drawn attention to his role in Inter Miami and the $10.8 million mansion he bought in South Florida after his move to the team in July 2023. The sprawling estate, located in the upscale Bay Colony neighbourhood of Fort Lauderdale, has gone viral, with fans eagerly waiting to peek inside the footballer’s lavish new home.
According to a Forbes report, Messi bought his sprawling Florida mansion in September 2023, weeks after he debuted for Inter Miami. The mansion is close to the DRV PNK Stadium and Inter Miami’s training facility, which makes the World Cup winner's commute as efficient as it is luxurious.
