Lionel Messi is one of the greatest soccer players of all time. The Argentine recently won the 2022 World Cup with his teammates, the biggest missing piece in his trophy collection. The soccer star wanted to capture this moment and leave a memory for his teammates, so he ordered 35 gold-plated iPhone 14 Pros for the entire team.
According to Gizmochina, these 35 special iPhone 14 Pros cost the Argentine soccer superstar $210,000 (about 5 billion VND). The back of each phone is plated in 24-carat gold, engraved with the players’ names, shirt numbers, the logo of the Argentine Football Association (AFA – Asociacion del Futbol Argentino) and the logo of manufacturing partner iDesign Gold. This makes them a unique and special gift that will surely be cherished by Lionel Messi’s teammates for years to come.
To get this special gift, Messi contacted businessman Ben Lyons, CEO of iDesign Gold. Together, they came up with the idea of gold-plated iPhones with the names of the players to celebrate the 2022 World Cup championship with his teammates. Messi really liked this idea and decided to make it a reality.
According to a source close to the Argentine superstar, he wanted to do something special and extravagant to celebrate his proudest moment. The source also added that Messi did not want to buy the usual gifts like watches and wanted something more unique and personal.
