Cristiano Ronaldo has fallen short of becoming the world's richest footballer once again despite his mega-rich move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner made the switch to the Middle-East on Friday evening as he penned a two-and-a-half year contract, although he is expected to stay for longer than that deal to head-up Saudi Arabia's push for the 2030 World Cup. It is a lucrative deal that is set to earn Ronaldo around £173million-a-year, which is equivalent to £3.3m per week - the wealthiest contract in world football.
Ronaldo is set to stay at Al-Nassr in an ambassadorial role once he retires from playing which is set to keep him at the club for seven years and he could earn up to £1.3bn if he stays there for that time. However, despite his new fountain of wealth, Ronaldo's bank balance is still peanuts compared to former Arsenal and Chelsea youth star Faiq Bolkiah who is worth a staggering £13billion.
