Messi earnings seem a little obscene to me

Back in 2017 in this excellent blog (?) I mentioned a (then) well known professional footballer.
“Poor old Wayne Rooney,” I wrote, “having to take such a heavy hit in his family’s income. His £160,000-a-week deal at new club Everton is just over half his Man. United wages. I look forward to seeing the long-lens shots of Colleen at the local food bank in due course.”
Obviously those photos of Coleen never appeared anywhere as, somehow, she managed to feed the family on that massively-reduced income.
I’d spoken with Mil (my Mother-In-Law) a few years previously when Rooney’s salary increased to £100,000 a week. “That’s a good wage,” she said. “£100,000 a year.”
When I pointed out it was A WEEK she was, to say the least, incredulous.
Unfortunately I could not update her with Rooney’s salary in 2017 as she had passed away just a month earlier but I know she would have found it unbelievable.
I mention all this because I am intrigued about what she would have made of the Lionel Messi move in August from his boyhood club Barcelona to PSG in France.
Messi is apparently taking home around £650,000 a week – that’s £94,000 a day, £3,900 per hour, £65 per minute or just a smidgeon over £1 per second. These are all rough estimates, of course!
On top of that, Messi also pocketed a £22.5 million signing on fee.
Is it just me or this all just a little obscene?
