Lionel Messi and his wife have purchased a new mansion in South Florida for a reported $10.75 million and it comes with every luxurious amenity the greatest soccer player of all time deserves.
The home is located in the gated community of Bay Colony which is situated on the northern side of Ft. Lauderdale. Lionel Messi‘s sprawling new mansion is located at the end of a cul-de-sac which affords even more privacy from the street level of the gated community. It is, however, located on the waterway which sees countless boats passing by every day as the property is between Port Everglades in Lauderdale and Hillsboro Inlet in Pompano.
According to the Zillow listing, the home was previously sold for $9 million on May 2, 2022. Less than 16 months later the home has now reportedly been sold to the Messi family for $10.75 million, marking an appreciation in value of $109,375 every single month since it last changed hands.
Lionel Messi’s new mansion is very conveniently located to his job. It is only a 4.6 mile (15min) drive from his home to DRV PNK Stadium where FC Miami plays their games.

The $10.75 million mansion features 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and 10,486 sqft of luxurious space.
