#4 Lionel Messi - €184.2 million
There seems to be no stopping the Argentine superstar! Guiding Barcelona to yet another domestic double, Lionel Messi also won the European Golden Shoe and the Pichichi award. Messi scored 45 goals in all competitions for the Catalans and was the highest goalscorer in Europe across the top five leagues.

Playing in a slightly deeper role, Messi proved his worth yet again and was consistent as ever before in La Liga. He recently scored a hattrick against Haiti in a friendly which was his 47th international hattrick (for club and country), keeping him in perfect shape for the World Cup.
A €184.2 million value seems justified for a player that simply can do it all. If he continues his terrific run in Russia, expect that figure to shoot up and Messi to snatch the Ballon d'Or from his closest competitors.
