Argentine football star Lionel Messi spent a whopping GBP 175,000 (approx 1.72 crore) on 35 gold iPhones for his World Cup-winning team and the support staff.

Messi gifted the 24-carat devices to each member of the team that won the tournament in Qatar last year. Each phone has the player’s name, jersey number and the Argentina logo on it.

“Lionel wanted to do something special and blingy to celebrate his proudest moment. He got in touch with entrepreneur Ben Lyons and they came up with the design together,” said a source.
