Cristiano Ronaldo’s road to making money is a classic

According to Bloomberg, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first football player with a net worth of more than 1 billion pounds.

400 million + 600 million, Cristiano Ronaldo's "two paragraphs"

Cristiano Ronaldo's assets include salaries paid by the club, endorsement and sponsorship contracts, and income from various investments. While playing for Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ronaldo earned a salary of 410 million pounds during his 17-year European football journey (2003-2020).

While playing for Riyadh Victory, Ronaldo's annual salary reached 150 million pounds, plus a signing fee of 20 million pounds. In June 2025, Ronaldo signed a two-year contract extension with Riyadh Victory, which will earn him another 300 million pounds. The 15% stake in the club is also valuable.

After "breaking the circle", there are a lot of successes

For Saudi Arabia and Saudi football, Ronaldo is not a simple football player, but one of the important promoters of Salman Jr.'s new policy. His value is far beyond what can be measured by goals, assists and championships. It is no exaggeration to say that Cristiano Ronaldo used his efforts worth 400 million in the first 17 years in exchange for a 600 million layoff.
