In the world of professional sports, the question is constantly brought up about how much a player is making in salary. That's not different when it comes to the Major League Soccer franchise in the spotlight: South Florida's very own Inter Miami.

The website Capology.com reports the franchise has an annual payroll of just over $80.3 million for this season - more than the combined total of the next four MLS franchises in terms of payroll. When it comes to who is the highest paid member of the Herons, that's not a shock either.

Here's a look at the top five players by salary on the Inter Miami roster.

No. 1 - Lionel Messi ($54 million)

Geez...who would have guessed that one of the best players in the history of soccer would make twice as much as the rest of the roster does all by himself. Of course, considering the fact he has scored seven goals in his four games with Inter Miami it would be hard to argue he hasn't heard it.
