We ordinary people can only imagine how someone like him thinks, how he plays, how he executes Leo Messi. I read an English commentator out there who believed that Leo mentally levitated in the stadium, he looked at what was happening there from above and played on the grass at the same time, with that perspective.

The only thing that we here can do is think about the earthly. And the earthly thing is to find out what he has invested in “The flea” his enormous heritage achieved after playing all those weekends giving fans heart-stopping shows. Because heritage has.

According to ForbesMessi is the athlete who earns the most in the world: 130 million dollars.

Messi is a person with his feet on the ground and has invested his euros in a hotel chain (Majestic i Messi) that is about to open its seventh establishment in 2023. And shortly before Qatar 2022, he announced an investment platform for his businesses technology and media companies in the United States, called Play Time SportsTech HoldCo LLC, which promises to be the intersection between soccer, media and technology.

Messi’s hotels

Messi has a large chain of hotels, MiM (Majestic i Messi) which, as he spent 20 years at Barça, a large part of the establishments are in the so-called Catalan lands. The footballer made his debut as a hotelier in 2017 in Sitges, with an eco-responsible boutique hotel with a 4-star category.

Located in the center of the city and just 100 meters from the beach, it was built in 2013 and due to its commitment to sustainability, it was the first hotel in Europe to receive LEED Platinum certification, a hallmark that regulates the condition of a sustainable building and that Granted by the US Green Building Council.

If you dare to go, it has 77 rooms, of which five are junior suites and one suite, as well as a spectacular terrace located on the top floor with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. On the other hand, it has a Spa with an extensive hydrotherapy circuit and an oxygen therapy cabin.

Then it acquired the Hotel MiM Ibiza Es Vivé in 2018. It is an avant-garde hotel, where style, excellent service and a young and fresh atmosphere are combined, on the southeast coast of the island, less than 50 meters from the beach and a few minutes from the center.

Later he invested in another establishment in the Balearic Islands, but this time on the island of Majorca, very much in the Mediterranean style, in the one in the fishing village of S’Illot with Sa Coma. It is 45 minutes from Palma and only 50 meters from the beach.

In 2020 he also bought the MiM Baqueira hotel in the city of Lleida, at the foot of a ski slope, in the Aran Valley and it was the first mountain establishment acquired by Messi.

With the acquisition of his sixth boutique hotel, he begins his immersion in Andalusia. And it does so through the front door, in Cádiz, specifically in Sotogrande, probably the most exclusive tourist destination in southern Spain. The MiM Sotogrande is located in the center of the Sotogrande marina, facing the Mediterranean Sea and next to the best golf clubs in Europe.

Finally, its seventh hotel will be in Andorra Casa Canut, which will open in February 2023.
