Iniesta Salary & Net Worth
How much did Andres Iniesta earn?Andres Iniesta has a net worth of...
110 Million Euros (123.4 Million Dollars)
He had a long-standing relationship with Nike that ended when he signed a big deal with Asics, the Japanese giants. He also has a deal with EA Sports that has netted him a lump sum. A very prudent person, this seemingly good-natured footballer is very careful when it comes to money. His long career with FC Barcelona, combined with all the sponsorship deals, means that his net worth is about 110 million Euros approximately.
He was obviously always one of the top earners at FC Barcelona and we all know how much money they spent on their legends. El Illusionista has definitely had his fair share of salary wealth and now that he's close to retirement he will surely enjoy his retirement fund. Oh yeah, and he is a winemaker!
Current Job
What does Iniesta currently do?Is he already thinking about life after football? Japan must have been a major culture shock for him. Looking at this pic, we think he'd make a good mediation guru or something of that sort. (Image: imgur.com)
He knows he's still got it. He wouldn't be playing otherwise. Japan is a competitive place to be, albeit a bit less demanding than European football. (Image: imgur.com)
Iconic Moments
Goal vs Chelsea 2009
This was a great goal, one that he'd remember forever. We thank God for this goal because it was the saving grace of a match that was marred by so much controversy. Chelsea think that they were robbed, but they'd have no doubts about this goal. Lionel Messi picked the ball inside the area and served it up on a platter for our midfielder. He struck it first time, and the ball found the back of the net in a hurry. It sent FCB to the Champions League final and has to be a goal that ranks as one of his best. (Image: imgur.com)
World Cup Final Goal
This little man comes in clutch when you least expect him. The Champions League goal would have been his greatest ever had it not been for this goal. It was a dramatic game, and Iker Casillas was called into action multiple times to deny the Dutch a goal. The game was locked in a stalemate, and nothing could separate the sides deep into extra time. He picked up the ball from the center of the park, passed it to a teammate and made a darting run into the box. Cesc managed to find him, and he slotted home in the 116th minute to give his side a 1-0 victory and the World Cup Trophy. A scintillating moment in his career. (Image: imgur.com)
Love Life - Single, Girlfriend or Wife?
Andres Iniesta Wife - Anna Ortiz
Anna and he met in 2008. They've been married since 2012. She's the mother to three kids, and no one would believe that if they saw her on the street. Oh, and we know you're an icon mate. (Image: imgur.com)

She takes working out seriously. No wonder she's so fit. (Image: imgur.com)
Family - Get to know them
Iniesta Father - Jose Antonio
Jose must be incredibly proud of what his son has achieved. Our legend should have worn eyewear instead of just squinting his eyes. (Image: imgur.com)
Iniesta Sister - Maribel
Maribel is a very beautiful woman. She's his younger sister. We would have never guessed that he had a pretty sibling had we not seen this. Does Dad have a fetish for sunglasses? (Image: imgur.com)
Iniesta Car - What does he drive?
Bugatti Veyron
His time at Barcelona means just one thing. His choice of colors is ostentatious. A blue Bugatti? That's a big no in our book. (Image: imgur.com)
Audi
Thank goodness he didn't choose an ill colored Audi for himself when given the opportunity. We think that's a Q7. It doesn't look like an SUV anymore. What have you done, Audi? (Image: imgur.com)
House - Where does he live?
Location: Kobe-shi, Hyogo, Japan
The house has a lot of Western influence. We would have loved to see a bit more of Japanese culture tied into the place. (Image: imgur.com)
