Current Weekly Wage at Inter Miami
Lionel Messi earns an estimated $1.3 million per week at Inter Miami, based on the reported $60 million annual base salary in his contract signed through 2025. This makes him one of the highest-paid athletes in MLS history according to recent reports Forbes.
The deal includes a guaranteed base pay that covers his on-field role, with additional bonuses tied to appearances, goals, and team performance. The weekly figure reflects only the base salary and does not include off-field income from endorsements, appearances, and business ventures.
Comparison with Previous Clubs
At Paris Saint-Germain, Messi earned roughly $1.1 million per week before leaving in 2023, while at Barcelona his weekly wage peaked at around $650,000 during his peak contract years. The move to Inter Miami represented a significant increase in take-home pay on a weekly basis.
When compared with other top earners in global football, Messi's current weekly wage places him at the top of MLS salary tables and among the highest in world football when total compensation is considered Forbes.
Total Earnings and Off-Field Income
On-Field vs Off-Field Compensation
Messi's total annual earnings are estimated to exceed $130 million when combining his Inter Miami salary with income from sponsorships, media rights, and business interests. His off-field earnings from deals with companies like Adidas, Pepsi, and others add tens of millions per year to his overall compensation.
The weekly wage at Inter Miami is only one part of a broader financial picture that includes equity stakes, appearances, and content creation revenue. These additional streams make his total weekly income substantially higher than the base salary alone suggests Bloomberg.
