Ronaldo
admin He’s one of the wealthiest athletes out there; Cristiano Ronaldo has raked in an unfathomable amount of cash over the course of his career, and by most estimations, his net worth is well in excess of $800 million dollars (it does vary according to where you check though).
Most people will of course know him primarily for what he’s done in the sport, but football is just one small part of the whole picture. He’s been one of the biggest players in the sport, for a long period, and played for a huge number of the best clubs in the world, receiving mega salaries throughout, while the deal he’s signed for Saudi Arabia has seen the earnings rocket even further.
But football aside, he has also built a significant business portfolio; he has deals with some of the largest businesses in the world, selling a range of products under his CR7 brand, and having also bought up a string of hotels, among other businesses. These things generate money even when he’s not actually out playing the game.
Also, it’s no surprise his social media presence has also made him an enormous fortune, with hundreds of millions of people around the world, and so businesses are all too happy to pay for him to promote whatever it is they’re selling.
