Lionel Messi is already having a huge financial impact at Inter Miami CF.
The MLS club expects annual revenues to double in year one, and owner Jorge Mas says the club's valuation could increase by more than $1 billion.
Here's a breakdown of the numbers 👇
1. Social Media Growth
Lionel Messi has 480 million followers on Instagram, which would be the world's 3rd largest country.
And these followers LOVE Messi.
That's why Inter Miami CF has added 11 million followers over the last 30 days.
Inter Miami now has more Instagram followers than the other 28 MLS teams combined — and they also have more followers than all US sports teams except three.
Most Followed US Sports Teams (IG)
1. Golden State Warriors: 31 million
2. Los Angeles Lakers: 23 million
3. Cleveland Cavaliers: 16 million
4. Inter Miami CF: 12 million
This is valuable because Inter Miami will now make tens of millions more on annual sponsorship deals.
And many of these followers will stay when Messi retires in a few years (Ex. the Cleveland Cavaliers still have the 3rd most followers despite LeBron leaving).
2. Apple TV's MLS Season Pass
Lionel Messi was offered more than $1 billion from Saudi Arabia.
But MLS couldn't offer that type of money, so they called up Apple and asked them to get creative.
Apple is important because they recently acquired the exclusive global broadcasting rights to MLS via a 10-year, $2.5 billion deal ($250 million per year).
And adding Messi could make that look like a bargain.
So Apple decided to do something unprecedented and offered Lionel Messi a cut of every new MLS signup.
This has never been done before.
And with Messi promoting the direct signup link to his 480 million Instagram followers and Google searches exploding for MLS Season Pass, it's safe to say Apple and Messi will each make tens of millions on this deal.
3. Increased Shirt Sales
Lionel Messi's 480 million Instagram followers are valuable for social media reach.
But more importantly, they buy stuff too.
For example, Lionel Messi was selling about 2 million shirts annually when he was at FC Barcelona.
And even if he ends up selling just 500,000 Inter Miami shirts this year, that's still $100 million in sales.
Here's the math:
500,000 shirts
x $200 price
————
= $100 million
And with clubs typically netting about 15% of the sales price, depending on where the shirt is sold, Inter Miami would make an extra $15 million from Messi's shirt sales this year alone.
Ps. This is a *conservative* estimate.
And that's not all — because Adidas also helped increase the total offer to Lionel Messi by offering him a royalty on every MLS shirt he sells.
So every time someone buys a Lionel Messi shirt from Inter Miami, he receives a cut of the sale from Adidas.
That's also worth millions.
4. More Revenue = Higher Valuation
Inter Miami did $56 million in revenue last year.
But owner Jorge Mas expects the club to double revenue in Lionel Messi's first year with the team.
Inter Miami CF Revenue
• 2022: $56 million
• 2023: $110 million (projected)
Mas also says the team's valuation could reach $1.5 billion next year, a 150% increase from $600 million today.
Inter Miami CF Valuation
• 2022: $600 million
• 2023: $1.5 billion (projected)
That would make Inter Miami by far the most-valuable MLS club — up from the 11th most-valuable team today — and the US-based team would be more valuable than Premier League clubs like West Ham, Everton, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and others.
And here's the best part...
In addition to revenue-sharing deals with Apple and Adidas, Lionel Messi is also receiving equity in Inter Miami CF, meaning he'll participate in any financial upside he creates by joining the team.
So while it's true that MLS could not compete with Saudi Arabia's $1 billion offer, the league worked with its partners to create a comprehensive compensation package that we have never seen before in sports.
And if the early results indicate anything, Lionel Messi might end up making just as much money in the United States as he would have in Saudi Arabia.
Now that would be crazy 🤯

Lei en un tuit hace dias (no me acuerdo de quién) que el Mundial es el piso emocional del expatriado.
Hoy con esta lindísima historia se me volvió a estrujar el cora. @casciari@ComunidadOrsai@soynachomerlo

Sigo pensando en el Argentina-Holanda que vimos el viernes. Y cuanto más lo pienso más creo que fue un partido para la historia de los mundiales.
Hubo muchas cosas con mucho significado 👇
In summary:
(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.
(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.
(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.
(4) Children time is precious—be present.
(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.
(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.
I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.
The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

Comparto la óptica, el problema no es el agave, son las malas y desencaminadas politicas publícas a mejorar el ingreso de los productores de granos, que son la dieta, el sostén y la vida de miles de familias en el bajío y occidente y el agave esta lejos de ser la solución.
Nunca en la historia de este país habíamos tenido tantas razones para ver carreras de @F1…
