Messi Shows Off Wearing A IDR 195 Million Rolex Similar To Ed Sheeran's, Quite Simple For The Size Of A Rich Player

JAKARTA - Soccer player Lionel Messi shared a holiday portrait in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina. In the photo uploaded to his Instagram account, Messi is seen wearing a Rolex watch worth 12,000 euros or the equivalent of IDR 195 million similar to that of singer Ed Sheeran.

Quoted from the Daily Star, Wednesday, January 12, Messi showed off the luxury Rolex watch while enjoying a vacation with his little family. The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star decided to take a vacation to his hometown during the mid-season game break.

It is also known from the same source that the Rolex that Messi is wearing is a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona series. The series is known to be frequently seen being used by other global superstars such as Ed Sheeran and rapper Drake.

Although somewhat attractive, the choice of the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner's watch is still relatively simple for Messi. Given the star's wealth is very high.

With an income of around 600,000 euros per week or the equivalent of IDR 9 billion, what Messi is wearing is far from luxurious. Because, the style shown by Messi is indeed simpler than his rival on the field, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Manchester United star even had time to look more classy than Messi. Ronaldo is seen roaming the Middle East wearing a Rolex GMT Master Ice worth 371,000 euros, or around IDR 6 billion last year.

Ronaldo himself is known as a footballer with a more striking personality. He often looks glamorous with watches made of 18 carats white gold with 30-carat diamond accents on the bezel and strap.

When it comes to wealth, Messi and Ronaldo are two of the richest footballers. In fact, Messi is the only active footballer to earn more than 1 billion euros during his playing career.
