Lionel Messi may not have got his desired move away from Barcelona this summer, but he still has one billion reasons to be happy off the pitch.
球王梅西（Lionel Messi）今夏雖然未能如願離開巴賽隆那球隊，但他仍然有個超棒的理由在球場上開懷大笑。
The Argentine has topped this year's football rich list, according to Forbes, to become just the second player in history -- after Cristiano Ronaldo -- to reach $1 billion in pre-tax earnings.
根據《富比士》的報導，這位阿根廷球王已經是今年足球富豪榜的首位，他也是繼C羅之後，史上第二位稅收高達10億美元的球員。
Messi publicly admitted this summer that he wanted to leave Barcelona "all year" but club president Josep Maria Bartomeu refused his request. That means the 33-year-old will pick up $92 million for the remaining year of his contract.
梅西在今年夏天曾公開表示他「整年」都想離開巴賽隆那球隊，但是球隊的現任主席巴托梅烏（Josep Maria Bartomeu）拒絕了他的請求，這意味著33歲的梅西將拿走目前合約中的9200萬美金。
Forbes estimate Messi's total yearly earnings for 2020 -- including endorsements -- at $126 million, ahead of Juventus forward Ronaldo in second on $117 million. Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian forward Neymar is in third with $96 million and teammate Kylian Mbappe, by far the youngest player in the top 10, is fourth with $42 million.
富比士估計，梅西在2020年的年總數入（包括代言費）為1.26億美元，領先了對手尤文圖斯隊（Juventus）的C羅（1.17億美元），而巴黎聖日爾曼球隊（Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian）的巴西前鋒內馬爾（Neymar）則以3,600萬美元排名第三，另外內馬爾的隊友姆巴佩（Kylian Mbappe）則是迄今為止前十名球員中最年輕的，以4,200萬美元排名第四。
