Lionel Messi will break the record for the most amount of tax paid in Spain in a single year. Messi will fork out a whopping €53 million in tax this year.
The figure, unusually large even for someone of Messi's wealth, is partly down to tax payable on undeclared image rights for the previous three years, amounting to €22.4 million.
Messi's recent contract saw his yearly salary rise to €16.3 million.
