What Are the World’s Top Soccer Players’ Salaries Worth in NYC Real Estate?
It’s no secret that pro athletes make big bucks, but the world’s best soccer players are raking in Benjamins that would even make an NBA star blush. With top players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo pulling in up to $75 million, we can’t help but wonder what they’re doing with all that money. While yachts and Italian villas are fine buys, our suggestion to these star athletes is to pour it in some swanky New York property. (The Marquand or the Puck Penthouses, perhaps?)
If these soccer superstars ever decide to buy in New York, we’ve got each of their best bets ahead.
