Contrary to rumors of a Hollywood mansion, Lionel Messi opted for luxury and privacy in South Florida, specifically Fort Lauderdale and Miami, rather than Los Angeles.

The estate, reportedly costing around $10.75 million, spans approximately 10,500 square feet and features 8 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms, and a three-car garage.
As described by The Real Deal, the residence is designed with comfort and luxury in mind. The mansion also boasts a private pool, spa/gym area, Italian-style kitchen, and a 1,600-square-foot primary suite.
One of the estate’s standout features is its 170 feet of waterfront frontage with two private docks, providing Messi and his family with both privacy and access to Florida’s waterways.
Located roughly 5 miles from DRV PNK Stadium, home to Inter Miami, the mansion allows Messi to commute to training and matches in just 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, Real estate analysts believe this Fort Lauderdale property serves as his primary U.S. residence, offering a perfect balance of convenience, seclusion, and family-friendly amenities.

Lionel Messi's Miami properties
In addition to his Fort Lauderdale mansion, Messi owns luxury condominium properties in Miami, according to The Top Players. Notably, he has a unit in the Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach, famous for its unique car elevator that allows residents to park directly next to their apartments.
These condos provide him with flexibility, whether for short-term stays, investment purposes, or proximity to Miami’s vibrant lifestyle.
