A person breathes approximately 24,000 times a day.
The minimum wage for someone over 25 is currently £8.21 an hour.

£8.21 x 24,000 = £197,040 per day, equating to being paid £8.21 for each breath.

£197,040 x 365 days in a year = £71,919,600

Messi currently earns MORE a year, than if he was to be paid minimum wage for each breath.
Wow.

You forgot to factor in his 5 day a week training which accounts for the extra breaths required to take it to £85m. My fag packet Maths were on point
