Today, the Argentina forward, from Barcelona was confirmed to be the highest played soccer player till date. He is said to have been paid $44 million last year, exceeding David Beckham, who is now the second most payed, having taken $40.5 million last year. Third place goes to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, getting $40 million, and fourth place goes to his teammate Kaka, geting $25 million. Can you believe that a single person, gets payed $44 million? Part of the reason that he gets payed so much is from the endorsments he recieves from Pepsi, Gillette and Adidas. Who knew advertising could make you so much money? I find this Messi doesn't deserve this much money, knowing he isn't the best player on the field. Do you think Messi deserves all this money? Let me know what you think.
Another fun fact to know is that he scored two hat-tricks in a row this weekend past.

Messi definitely deserves all of the money, he is a young uprising star, even though he doesn't have the sharp looks that Cristiano Ronaldo has.
