Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo are one of the most renowned couples in the soccer world. Both have been together since childhood and have been through thick and thin with each other for many years. The childhood sweethearts turned into life partners and formed a unified bond with each other.
Antonela has been a constant pillar of support for Messi throughout his career, standing by his side through triumphs and challenges. Both have cemented themselves as one of the most influential and affluent couples on the planet. However, Messi isn’t the only guy in the family who brings food to the table. His beloved wife also has quite a net worth. In fact, she runs a business that is older than her husband’s age.

While Messi himself has quite a massive net worth, his wife also earns decent money. Many only saw her as a homemaker, but the Argentine is quite busy as the owner of multiple ventures. She has successfully established her own businesses, including a family venture that has a rich history dating back to 1982.
This business is a supermarket chain known as ‘Unico,’ which operates in various towns across Argentina. The project was initiated by her grandmother, fondly known as ‘Lele,’ and it is said to have originated in a small pantry. Since then, it has grown and expanded over the years, establishing its presence in different towns throughout Argentina.

This isn’t the only venture the Roccuzzo family has started; in 2014, they launched a children’s fashion brand, Enfans. Antonela currently runs this business with her siblings. She ventured into the footwear brand ‘Sarkany’ in collaboration with Sofía Balbi, Luis Suárez’s wife. The store opened in Barcelona in 2017, but unfortunately had to close for personal reasons.
Either way, this definitely shows Roccuzzo is quite an astute businesswoman. In fact, all her ventures have made her richer than Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez.

It seems, just like Messi and Ronaldo, there can be quite a friendly rivalry between Roccuzzo and Rodriguez. While both women are successful in their respective careers and stages of life, there is a massive difference in their fortunes. Antonela Roccuzzo’s estimated fortune is approximately $20 million, surpassing Georgina Rodriguez, who is believed to have amassed a wealth of $10 million.

Thanks to her impressive business ventures, the wife of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is ahead of Ronaldo’s wife in terms of bank balance. This is just through her ventures, as she also makes extra bucks from various brand deals. Both Roccuzzo and Rodriguez endorse the same company called ‘Aloyoga’, an activewear brand. It seems the net worth race will continue between the star couples for quite a long time.
