Lionel Messi Net Worth – $280 million

How Did Lionel Messi make their money & wealth

Lionel Messi was born on June 24, 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. He started playing football at the age of 5. By the time he was 8, he was recruited to join the youth system of the Rosario club Newell’s Old Boys. Soon after, Messi was diagnosed with a hormone deficiency, which restricted his growth.

The treatment consisted of daily human growth hormone injections, which cost several hundred dollars per month. When Messi’s parents could no longer pay for the treatment, La Masia(Barcelona’s youth academy) offered Lionel a change to train with them, and to cover his medical bills. Messi and his family moved to Spain to start a career as a professional football.

In 2005, at age 16, Messi made his debut in Barcelona’s first team. That same year he led Argentina’s national team to victory in the Under-20 World Cup. Within the next years, Messi established himself as an integral part of the team.  In 2007 he was a finalist for both the Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award. He also made the finals the following year.  In the 2008-2009 season, Messi helped Barcelona have one of their best years in history, winning Copa del Rey, La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. That same year, Messi won the Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award.

Messi had three more successful seasons, and won 3 more Ballon d’Ors. His best season was the 2011-2012 one, where he set the records for most goals scored in a single season, both for La Liga and Champions League. In March 2012, he became Barcelona’s All Time Top Scorer. He faced a few injuries the following seasons, and lost the Ballon d’Or twice to Cristiano Ronaldo. But the 2014-2015 season was very good for Messi, breaking scoring records again in La Liga and Champions League, and leading Barcelona to its second treble, winning Copa del Rey, La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.

Clint Eastwood Net Worth – $375 Million

How Did Clint Eastwood make their money & wealth

Clinton Eastwood Jr. was born on May 31, 1930 in a working class family in the Bay area of California. Because of the great depression, his family traveled a lot, looking for work. They eventually settled in Piedmont, California.

After graduating from Oakland Technical High School, Eastwood enrolled at Seattle University but was then drafted into the US Army. While there, he met people who were interested in getting into acting. They advised him to try his hand at the movie business once he finishes his military duty.

In 1954 he moved to Los Angeles, and after a screen test, he signed a contract with Universal for $75 per week. His first roles were very small parts in science fiction films like Revenge of the Creature and Tarantula. His next role was on the CBS TV show Rawhide, as Rowdy Yates. In 1964, Eastwood was cast as the Man with no Name, which was a triology of Western movies. These films became known as Spaghetti Westerns (due to the fact that they were filmed in Italy), and gained worldwide popularity.

Eastwood’s real breakthrough came in 1971, when he starred in the immensely popular Dirty Harry. Eastwood also began directing movies in 1971. Within 20 years, Eastwood would star in four more Dirty Harry movies, along with many other movies including The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), and Every Which Way But Loose (1978).

In 1992, Eastwood directed and produced, as well as acted in the very dark and unique western Unforgiven, which went onto grab some Oscars. In 1993 he starred in In the Line of Fire, then in A Perfect World with Kevin Costner.

After a few years of projects that were not very well received, Eastwood got back on the A-list with boxing drama Million Dollar Baby in 2004. It earned him an Oscar for Best Director and a second Best Actor nomination. In the following years, Clint directed: Mystic River (2003), Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, and Changeling (2008), Gran Torino (2008), Invictus (2009), Hereafter (2010), J. Edgar (2011), Jersey Boys(2014),American Sniper(2014), Sully (2016).

As a director, Eastwood is known for his efficiency. As a young actor, he resented the fact that directors made him shoot dozens of takes, so as a director he shoots very few takes, striving to get it right the first time. This means his movies shoot faster than most, never go over the budget, and sometimes even cost less than anticipated – something that studios love.

Getting into acting

Peter Frederick Weller was born in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. His mother Dorothy Jean (Davidson) was a stay at home mom. His father Frederick Bradford Weller was many things including a helicopter pilot for the United States Army. Because of the father’s job, the family traveled a lot. Peter lived in Germany in his teenage years, before the family moved to San Antonio, Texas. After getting out of high school, he attended North Texas State University, and got his degree. He then got a scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Peter Weller then trained under legendary actress and drama coach, Uta Hagen. He appeared on and off Broadway in plays such as William Inge’s “Summer Brave”, Thomas Babe’s “Rebel Women” and “Full Circle”, one of Otto Preminger’s last plays. His portrayal of Billie Wilson in “Streamers”, directed by Mike Nichols, was critically acclaimed. He continued giving great performances on stage as Cliff in “The Woolgatherer” and as Nick in the first American production of David Mamet’s “The Woods”. During this period, he joined the Actor’s Studio, training under Elia Kazan and Lee Strasberg.

Film and Television Career

Weller’s acting career didn’t stop at the stage. Over the years, he has appeared in over 70 films and television series. He made his screen debut in Butch and Sundance: The Early Years (1979).

He was also in Firstborn (1984), the HBO feature Apology (1986), and Of Unknown Origin (1983) – which earned Weller the Best Actor award at the Paris International Film Festival.

He starred in W.D. Richter’s 1984 cult classic The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. His next role would be his most iconic one: Robocop. The director said he chose him because of his expressive lips. Robocop was successful, and Weller returned for the sequel.

After that he starred in several minor thrillers, but his next big role would be in David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch (1991) in which he played a drug addicted writer. This gave Weller the opportunity to showcase his talents as a dramatic actor. His performance was critically acclaimed.

Weller had more success on television than he did on the big screen. He made his TV debut in 1977 on the show  “Lou Grant” where he played Oberster SA-Führer Donald Sterner/Stryker, a Neo-Nazi leader that killed himself when he discovers he is Jewish.
