“All Because She’s Married to Messi” – Despite Owning Multiple Businesses, Lionel Messi’s $20,000,000 Rich Wife Antonela Roccuzzo’s Merits Questions by Soccer Legend’s Wife

Behind Lionel Messi, there stands a woman who has been a constant source of support, love, and inspiration throughout his journey – Antonela Roccuzzo. The Argentinian superstar’s childhood love has been through thick and thin and has always been there for the legendary player and his family. Even after such positives, she has become a subject of criticism.

Beyond her role as the wife of a global sports icon, Antonela has carved her own path as a successful entrepreneur and businesswoman. However, even after such a boon, her merits have been questioned by a soccer legend’s wife.

Soccer legend’s wife expressed skepticism on Antonela Roccuzzo’s merits

Yanina Latorre, who is also the wife of former Argentinian player, Diego Latorre, recently came as a guest in the entertainment show, Terapia Picante. During the interview, she was asked to give advice to young women who want to date a soccer player. Without any hesitation, she answered, “That they put up with how macho they are”. Subsequently, she shared her own journey with Diego Latorre, expressing that she left everything in order to raise kids.

However, soon she dragged Messi’s wife Antonela into the conversation. As stated by Caras, she said,“Antonela Roccuzzo, we love her, but she is Messi’s wife. She is hired by brands in Europe to advertise, but all because she is married to Messi. Alone, so far, she has achieved nothing”. She continued, “I’m not criticizing her, but she is always one step behind the player”.

Upon hearing her response, the interviewer asked if Messi would still be the same without his wife, to which she replied confidently by urging him not to underestimate their talent. In conclusion, Latorre pondered the significant influence of Antonela Roccuzzo on Messi’s life. “Thanks to Antonela he surely doesn’t go to bed late, he doesn’t go out every night, he doesn’t suck, but you are that. You raise the kids, you take care of the house, you help him move, everything so that the king, in my case it was Diego, is happy”.

Indeed, these are some eyebrow-raising remarks from Latorre for the significant half of Messi. The journalists’ remarks surely put her into question, given how much Antonela has earned individually over the years. In fact, she owns multiple businesses.

Messi is not the sole breadwinner in the family, as his beloved wife also possesses a substantial net worth. Many perceived her as a homemaker but Roccuzzo is a busy entrepreneur, having successfully established multiple ventures. One such venture is the family-owned supermarket chain called ‘Unico’. Interestingly, the venture has a rich history dating back to 1982. Today it operates across several towns in Argentina. In fact, this isn’t the only business endeavor the Roccuzzo family has embarked upon.

In 2014, Antonela ventured into children’s fashion by launching the brand ‘Enfans.’ Currently, she operates it with her siblings. Additionally, she collaborated with Luis Suárez’s wife, Sofia Balbi, to launch a footwear brand ‘Sarkany.’ Both opened their doors in Barcelona in 2017. However, they had to close for personal reasons. Nevertheless, these ventures demonstrate Roccuzzo’s impressive business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.
