While Messi earns 50 million, David Beckham's impressive whim that went viral

Lionel Messi is one of the players who has accumulated the most money in the history of this sport, and it is no wonder, because he is probably the best in history, or at least among the top 3. Right now, despite the fact that He is in one of the last contracts of his career, Lionel Messi receives around 50 million dollars in salary, and this, without counting extra income.

Despite spending almost two decades earning very high salaries, Lionel Messi has never been known for making expensive purchases or wasting money. In fact, quite the opposite, Lionel Messi has always given lessons in humility, prioritizing the well-being of his entire family before making unnecessary purchases just for luxury.

It's no secret that David Beckham has been known to spend his money on things that turned out to be too eccentric for his peers. As shared by Roy Kane, according to The Sun newspaper.

The former Irish midfielder spoke about the day David Beckham bought a £50,000 pen. Same money that he had earned in a collaboration with a famous sportswear brand. Something that Kane himself considered a trend after Beckham did it.
