Lionel Messi is an Argentine football striker, currently playing for FC Barcelona. He is the captain of the Argentina national team and is widely considered the world's greatest player, becoming the first person in history to win four FIFA/Ballons d'Or, all of which he won consecutively, and the first to win three European Golden Shoe awards.
Messi's football career began at age five with local Argentine club Grandoli where he was coached by his father. After moving to Newell's Old Boys who were based in his home city Rosario, he became part of a local youth team that lost only one match in the next four years and became locally known as "The Machine of '87" which garnered interest from larger clubs, including local powerhouse River Plate. Messi and his father were able to arrange a trial for him with Catalan team FC Barcelona and he signed with the team on a paper napkin.
With Barcelona, Messi has won six La Liga Titles, two Copas del Rey, six Supercopas de España, three UEFA Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and two FIFA Club World Cup. In leading the club's back to success, he has teamed up with other superstars such as David Villa, Xavi, Toure, Luis Suarez, Andrés Iniesta, Ronaldinho, and Samuel Eto'o.
Due in no small part to his proficiency on the football pitch, Lionel Messi's net worth is $180 million with an annual salary of $44.68 million, affording him this residence in the Spanish coastal city of Castelldefels, close to Barcelona.

Million Dollar Luxury Doomsday Silo
Four buyers have already spent about $7 million on luxurious doomsday-safe condos built in a Cold War-era missile shaft below a Kansas prairie, according to the AFP. The cylindrical underground building not only includes condo space, but its developer is also adding an indoor farm, pool, movie theater, a stockpile of five years worth of dry food, and space for a medical center and school, the AFP reports.
Its inhabitants should be well protected. The condo building, which extends 174 feet underground, hosts concrete walls that are nine feet thick, according to The Daily Mail. The shape of a silo, Forbes adds, also makes it an even more ideal hiding place.

Wookey Hole Caves
Wookey Hole Caves is a show cave and tourist attraction in the village of Wookey Hole on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills near Wells in Somerset, England.
Wookey Hole cave was formed through erosion of the limestone hills by the River Axe. Before emerging at Wookey Hole the water enters underground streams and passes through other caves such as Swildon's Hole and St Cuthbert's Swallet. After resurging, the waters of the River Axe are used in a handmade paper mill, the oldest extant in Britain, which began operations circa 1610, although a corn grinding mill operated there as early as 1086.
The cave is noted for the Witch of Wookey Hole – a roughly human shaped rock outcrop, reputedly turned to stone by a monk from Glastonbury. It is also the site of the first cave dives in Britain.
The caves, at a constant temperature of 11 °C (52 °F), have been used by humans for around 50,000 years. The low temperature means that the caves can be used for maturing Cheddar cheese.
