About a year ago, striker Lionel Messi, who made an impressive appearance at the World Championship with Argentina, is reaping the fruits of his popularity.

It is reported that at the Sotheby's auction, fourteen veteran jerseys, which he wore in six matches in Qatar, were sold.

Unidentified football memorabilia collectors altogether forked out a whopping 7.8 million US dollars for them.

This is a larger sum than the annual salaries of the players of Messi's current team, Miami Inter, combined.
