Images of the Messi family’s nearly $11 million villa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, have just been released.

After a few months living in a luxury apartment, the Messi family quickly bought a new house in Fort Lauderdale. The Messi family has been living in the new house for a few months.

After some neighbors publicly shared information about living near the famous Argentine football player’s house, the media and real estate in the US identified the villa that Messi just owned. Accordingly, since September 2023, Messi’s family has moved to live in a villa worth nearly 11 million USD.

The sprawling villa has 10 bedrooms, a large outdoor swimming pool and two jetties. It overlooks the ocean and is located in an upscale residential area.

When he joined Inter Miami, Messi signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with a salary of $50 to $60 million per season. This is not a dream salary for a famous player like Messi, but he affirmed that he did not focus on money when coming to Inter Miami.

What Messi is aiming for is a living environment with ideal quality in many aspects for the whole family. The villa that Messi just owned is located in the Bay Colony residential area, which is home to the wealthy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. The residential area has very high security conditions, to ensure privacy and good quality of life for residents.

Bay Colony has residential buildings facing the sea, with impressive views. Messi’s residence is near the DRV PNK Stadium – home of Inter Miami. He only needs to drive about 15 minutes to get to the training ground with his teammates.

The front of the mansion has two piers. If Messi is interested in traveling by water, he can easily use a motorboat to travel across the southern Florida area.

Messi’s close teammate, Spanish player Sergio Busquets, lives nearby in the Sea Ranch Lakes residential area. The two friends spent many years together at Barcelona (Spain), and now they play together at Inter Miami.

Messi’s move to the Bay Colony residential area has excited his new neighbors. Recently, businessman Patrick Bet-David revealed to the American media that his villa is located near Messi’s family villa.

He was very happy to know that the house prices here increased rapidly because Messi moved to live there. Currently, Mr. Patrick Bet-David’s house has increased in value by 25 million USD in the real estate market, because this project is quite close to Messi’s house.

Sharing in a recent interview with a TV channel, Mr. Patrick Bet-David said: “Currently, many people want to live in this residential area. Messi is very popular in the US and many people want to live in the same residential area with him.

The place where we live is a villa area with very good security, so many people with conditions suddenly became interested in buying houses here. The number of people wanting to see houses in this area suddenly increased dramatically.”

In fact, before buying this villa, Messi already owned a luxury apartment in an apartment building in Miami, Florida. Messi bought this apartment in 2019. However, this apartment is only for his family to stay during short vacations in the coastal city.

When moving to live permanently in Florida, Messi chose to buy a large villa that meets all his family’s needs. This villa has a spa, a cinema room, a swimming pool, a mini golf course …

Messi once spoke about his decision to join Inter Miami: “I’m at a point where I want to step away from the big attention, I want to think more about my family. I want to enjoy time with my family. If the problem was just money, I would have chosen to go to Saudi Arabia or somewhere else, then I would have received a lot of money.”

First of all, in terms of his career, Messi must have started thinking about his future after retirement. Owning a football club is an attractive direction for him. In American football, the opportunity for Messi to become a powerful figure and own a football club is completely possible.

Former football star David Beckham used to play for LA Galaxy (USA), and now David Beckham has become the chairman and major shareholder of Inter Miami. Messi can completely follow the same path as his “senior” Beckham has chosen.

Messi has said that he does not think he will continue to play in the 2026 World Cup, because he will be 39 years old by then. But if Messi is called up to the Argentina national team to play in the 2026 World Cup, the fact that he has settled in the US so early will be a big advantage.

The 2026 World Cup will be held in three North American countries: Canada, Mexico and the United States. If Messi participates in the 2026 World Cup, he and his family will enjoy many advantages. In some aspects, Messi is like a “home team”.

Looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup, Messi will attract more expensive advertising contracts, because he is the top player playing in the US – the country co-hosting the 2026 World Cup.

Second, Miami is no stranger to Messi’s family, who used to spend their summers there years before he moved to Inter Miami. The coastal city left such a strong impression on Messi that he soon spent money to buy a luxury apartment worth 9 million USD.

Miami is a popular destination for wealthy people in the US and many other countries to buy real estate. Miami is also the city with the largest Latino community in the US. More than half of the foreigners who own real estate in Miami are from Latin America.

Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema – players who chose to play in Saudi Arabia, Messi has a different direction, he is looking towards the long-term future of himself and his family.

By joining Inter Miami, Messi and his wife will be able to raise their three sons (aged 5 to 11) in a beautiful coastal city with a pleasant climate. The Messi family will be able to enjoy a classy, ​​quiet and private life. High-end residential areas in Miami highly value this factor.
