Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi surprised his World Cup-winning teammates with an extravagant gift – 35 gold iPhones.
According to IDESIGN GOLD CEO Benjamin Lyons, Messi wanted a special gift for his team members to celebrate their incredible victory, but he didn’t want the usual gifts or watches. So, he decided to buy personalized gold iPhones with names written on them. Messi paid 200,000 euros for the 35 gold iPhones, and the order was placed a few months after the World Cup final.
Messi’s gift not only surprised his teammates but also raised eyebrows among football fans and the media. The expensive and personalized gift has left many wondering about the mystery behind Messi’s gesture.
Is there more to this gift than just a simple congratulatory gesture?
Messi, who is considered one of the greatest football players of all time, won his first World Cup with Argentina in December 2022, where he was named the best player of the tournament. He also won the award for the best player in the world for 2022 in the selection of the International Football Federation (FIFA).
