Streamer Adin Ross has revealed he lost out on a bid for a luxury Miami mansion after being outbid by football legend and Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi.
Ross is a streamer whose career took off when he began playing the video game NBA 2K on Twitch in 2019. He has continued to rise as a big name in the streaming world and recently smashed streaming records by “interviewing” Kim Jong Un.
In March 2023, he signed one of the biggest streaming deals ever to exclusively use Kick – a rival to Twitch that started in 2022. While no official figure has been given, some reports have suggested the deal was worth $150 million across two years.
But, when attempting to spend some of his earnings on a reported $10 million Miami mansion, a certain Argentine footballer got in his way as Ross explained a “very, very famous professional athlete” outbid him for the home.
