With their influence and excellence, both Mbappe and Messi are the names with the second highest income in the football world.

Lionel Messi
Looking at the car collection of football superstar Messi, one can see that the famous male player seems to love cars. The car model from the Ferrari family is much better than its rival Lamborghini.
