Social media star Adin Ross has claimed that Lionel Messi outbid him to snatch the Kick and YouTube sensation’s dream \u00a38.74million ($10.75m) mansion from his grasp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The streamer has accrued an impressive fortune after building up a social media presence but lost out to MLS’ highest-paid player with the purchase of the Miami home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taking to social media to lament his loss, Ross hinted that there was no way of competing with the World Cup winner, who in May was named the second-highest paid athlete in the world by Forbes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Messi is thought to have made \u00a3107m in 2022 in an even split between on-field and off-field earnings during his final year at French giants Paris Saint-Germain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His MLS contract with new side Inter Miami is all-but unmatched by his peers in the league, combining a bumper payday with lucrative add-on deals with AppleTV and club sponsor Adidas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Adin Ross has claimed that he was so enamoured with his ‘dream house’ he will only be able to replace it by building from scratch<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Messi has bought a mansion in Fort Lauderdale for a similar sum in September of this year<\/p>\n

‘I got outbid on the house I wanted,’ Ross said with regret as he shared details of the incident on social media. ‘I really wanted a house in Miami, so now I have to build my own house because it’s impossible to find a house that I like.<\/p>\n
‘And I got outbid by a very, very famous professional athlete, who is very rich.<\/p>\n
‘It’s nothing about me being broke. I just couldn’t get to there in time. I saw the house, but they were already in talks and all that.<\/p>\n
‘The professional athlete is Messi.’<\/p>\n
Ross went on to suggest it was either Messi’s parents or grandparents the former Barcelona prodigy had purchased the house for, with a view to hosting family visiting from Argentina keen to watch the player in action at the David Beckham-owned club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whilst Ross was discreet about which house it was that he lost out on, in September Messi snapped up a property of the same value in nearby Fort Lauderdale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The playmaker and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo had been spotted house-hunting in Boca Raton earlier in the summer, but eventually plumped for the 10-bedroom estate packed full of amenities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As well as a number of rooms for guests, the house also features a spa room, a swimming pool, two boat docks, and nine bathrooms.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The property features\u00a010 bedrooms, a spa room, two boat docks and a swimming pool<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The swimming pool outside the house sits just off the canals which weave through the area<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also included are an ‘entertaining lounge, executive office, VIP suite and Captain’s Suite’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo have put down roots in the area since moving with his transfer to Inter Miami<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Messi also has an apartment in building overlooking Sunny Isle Beach and the city of Miami, as well as the beach<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The luxurious apartment -which Messi bought in 2019 – has its own private restaurant, an outdoor lounge that faces the sea<\/p>\n
Ross also claimed there was a ‘movie theatre’ and ‘a bunch of cool stuff’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Messi is already the owner of a \u00a37.3m apartment in Miami in the exclusive Porsche Design Tower, which the player bought in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 60-floor tower is situated between Bal Harbour and Aventura and is located 25 minutes away from the Inter Miami stadium.<\/p>\n
The apartment building features include private car-lifts for residents, a cinema, golf and racing simulators, and a private restaurant, as well as picturesque views of Miami and the ocean beyond.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
