He also owns a stunning white gold Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar worth over £442,000 and a more subdued Calendar worth £265,000.
An insane Rolex Daytona Giraffe worth £293,000 is also in Messi's collection, as are a further two Daytonas worth a combined £232,000.

His collection of Rolexes, that we know of, is completed with a relatively tame Submariner worth £29,000.
One of the slickest watches in Messi's collection is his matte black Hublot Bat Bang Tourbillon, which cost him a cool £114,000.
A luxury watch collection wouldn't be complete without a piece from Jacob & Co.
Messi collabed with the watch powerhouses in 2019 to release the Epic X Chrono, which are worth £150,000 a pop.
The footie icon is also the owner of an extra-thin Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo worth £75,000.
The watches Messi has worn in public over the years have a combined value of over £2.8MILLION.
But the value of his collection is no doubt considerably higher given the fact that he likely has several other watches in possession that we've never seen.

Molly-Mae shares first look at £2k a night luxury holiday after moaning about boring summer
Molly-Mae has been on no expense spared getaways to Dubai, Disneyland Paris and Budapest this year mae day Molly-Mae shares first look at £2k a night luxury holiday after moaning about boring summer MOLLY-MAE has shared a first look at her £2k a night luxury holiday after moaning about having a boring summer. The former Love Islander faced a barrage of criticism from followers last month after declaring she hadn't done "one fun thing" so far this summer. 7 Molly-Mae has shared a first look at her £2k a night holiday in Turkey Credit: instagram./"mollymae 7 The star was all smiles as she enjoyed the water slides with her daughter Bambi, two Credit: instagram./"mollymae 7 The family are staying at the 5-star Regnum The Crown Hotel Credit: Regnum The Crown 7 The hotel boasts stunning rooms and a new water park for families Credit: Regnum The Crown This is despite the fact she has been on no expense spared getaways to Dubai, Disneyland Paris and Budapest this year. Now Molly-Mae can add Turkey to her 2025 holiday list, after jetting off with partner Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi, two. They are staying at the luxury 5-star Regnum The Crown Hotel, which has been "carefully curated to deliver a true family holiday without compromise" according to its promotional information. Taking to Instagram, the 26-year-old shared snaps of them enjoying the hotel's newly unveiled water park, Aqualantis. While Molly-Mae had failed to crack a smile when the family jetted off on the trip, she beamed as she got to the bottom of one slide with Bambi, who looked cute in a pink swimsuit and matching hat to protect her from the sun. Meanwhile her famous mum wore a black bikini and sunglasses as they went on various slides. The star also shared a cute snap of Bambi in bed with Tommy, 26, and captioned it: "Nappy is taken off at any opportunity currently." Another picture saw Bambi on top of Tommy on a sunlounger, with the boxer screwing up his face while his daughter clutched her blanket and soft toy. Molly-Mae captioned it: "My favourite view". The happy trip is in stark contrast to her comments about not having a social life. Molly-Mae sobs as she admits Bambi's 'terrible twos' are breaking her & says 'I don't care who tells me I'm out of touch with reality' She said: "I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing." Speaking to her sister, she said: "Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing. "I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing." But her followers were quick to hit out at the star for taking her luxury lifestyle for advantage. One wrote: "I like Molly but she does complain." A second posted: "Wimbledon, lunches, Spain, Dubai, France, Centre Parcs... let's normalise that." Someone else commented: "This was so jarring because she can casually spend 6k in Dior on an outfit to log to Wimbledon then complains she has no time for herself. "'No life', when she has a better life than 99.9 per cent of girls/mums her age," a fourth said. 7 Molly-Mae had failed to crack a smile when they arrived at the airport to jet off Credit: Eamonn and James Clarke 7 But they all seemed a lot happier once they were away Credit: instagram./"mollymae

The Virgin Media star posted a video of himself flicking through his wedding album and said: "10 years ago to this very day 30/07/15. We @gourounlian called it OFFICIAL in front of all our loved ones. "We literally had no idea what was ahead of us in the years to come or what was expected from each other as husbands. Well, let's just say it's been ONE HELL OF A RIDE." Brian spoke about the realities of being in a marriage. He wrote: ""Married life is not a walk in the park, it's FULL ON and can be a bit of a s*** show at times, but you've got to work at it, people.

I'm very mindful of the words that I use and the conversations I have. "I don't want our daughter seeing something when she's older or reading something when she's older." "People would always say to me, 'She's the image of Arthur',' he added. 'It was like a knife in my heart each time people said that because they were unaware of my own issue. "The control was taken away from me. But now everybody knows the truth about my daughter's DNA. My name is not on her birth cert. It's just my sister Aoife and Arthur."

Spice Girl Mel B celebrates marriage with 'spiritual' ceremony in Morocco
Spice Girls star Mel B has celebrated her marriage with a "spiritual" ceremony in Marrakesh, Morocco. It comes after the 50-year-old, whose real name is Melanie Brown, married hairdresser Rory McPhee at St Paul's Cathedral in July, having announced their engagement in October 2022. In a post on Instagram, Brown said: "We got married, again! "A wedding so good we keep the celebration going with our closest and dearest in our fave place at @selmanmarrakech we had the time of our lives." The singer wore a red dress with crystals and bugle beads made in a collaboration between Evelie Bridal and wedding dress designer Justin Alexander at the ceremony at the Selman Hotel on Saturday. Her choice of dress was guided by Caroline Black from London-based Evelie Bridal, who aimed to reflect her life in the US, where she is a judge on America's Got Talent. Black told the PA news agency: "For Mel's Morocco wedding dress, we focused on trying Justin Alexander gowns with a little extra sparkle. "Mel loved the idea of a red dress - something bold, with lots and lots of shimmer - but it also had to feel light and easy to move in. "We drew inspiration from a variety of dresses she tried on at Evelie South Kensington, then went back and forth brainstorming with Justin Alexander and his design team. "After several conversations and sketches, the first design took shape. Mel gave us clear feedback on what she liked and what she didn't, and the final result was beautiful. "Mel had such a strong sense of what she wanted - it was a joy working with her and Justin Alexander to bring her vision to life." The dress required a team of six artisans and took more than 850 hours to complete. Her husband wore an Alexander McQueen outfit featuring a white shirt and jacket with black trousers and shoes. The London wedding saw Brown joined by guests including bandmate Emma Bunton, model Daisy Lowe, and comedians Tom Allen and Katherine Ryan. The singer was previously married to Stephen Belafonte until she filed for divorce in 2017 following allegations of abuse. They have a daughter, Madison Brown Belafonte. Brown also has two daughters, Phoenix Chi Gulzar and Angel Iris Murphy Brown, from two previous relationships. With the Spice Girls, the singer had nine UK number one singles and two UK number one albums. The group was best known for songs such as Wannabe, 2 Become 1, and Who Do You Think You Are?.
