Unbelievable fear cost superstar Messi hundreds of billions

Messi is said to have a fear of driving. Therefore, he chooses to buy expensive cars to feel safer.

According to Kickflix, superstar Lionel Messi has a fear that very few people know, which is the fear of driving, also known as Amaxophobia. People with this syndrome will feel anxious when directly driving a vehicle.

Messi is said to have a fear of driving

Messi’s fear of driving is said to have originated in 2017 when his brother Matias was involved in an accident in 2017. Due to bad weather, Matias lost control while driving a car in his hometown. As a result, Matias’ car was badly damaged, but he was fortunate not to have serious injuries.

In 2019, it was the turn of Jorge – Messi’s father – who caused a motorcyclist to lose consciousness in a collision in Barcelona.

These incidents are said to make Messi insecure when he has to drive a car. In a previous interview, the 2022 World Cup champion also admitted to hating riding motorbikes.

However, due to the characteristics of work as well as daily activities, Messi was forced to drive a car. So to feel safer, Messi decided to spend a lot to buy expensive cars.

‘He did some research and discovered expensive cars with extra protection features. In addition, they also better protect the driver if an accident occurs,” Kickflix said.

El Futbolero newspaper also confirmed that Messi spent about 50 million USD (1.2 trillion) buying a car partly because of Amaxophobia. “Fear cost Messi $50 million,” said writer Partha Sarathi.

Messi is said to own about 12-15 cars in the garage at the moment. All are from famous brands.

The most expensive of these is the Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti. To own this car, the captain of the Argentina team had to spend $ 36 million in an auction. The second highest bidder is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is known that Messi’s steed is operated by a V12 Tipo 140 engine, which can reach a maximum speed of up to 300km / h.

Besides, can not ignore the Pagani Zonda Tricolore worth about 2 million USD. The manufacturer said that only 3 of these were produced. In terms of rarity, not many cars can surpass Messi’s steed.

With Messi, spending tons of money to buy a car is not a big deal. Counting PSG, Messi is receiving a salary of about 75 million USD/year. According to Forbes, Messi is the best-paid athlete in 2022 when pocketing a total of 130 million USD.
