A yearly salary this big allows the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner to be able to purchase anything he wants, including his ridiculous list of luxury homes.  

According to the Daily Mail, the South American got a property, near the cove of Cala Tarida on Ibiza's western coast, from Switzerland businessman Philippe Amon.  

The home is equipped with a large garden, an almost 100 square-metre swimming pool and all the luxury items one could desire.
