Cristiano Ronaldo has long been one of football’s (or soccer’s) greatest goal-scorers, dazzling millions of fans at top European clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. Now, he’s reached another milestone—becoming the sport’s first-ever billionaire.
Fueled by lucrative endorsements, savvy investments, and a record-breaking salary, Ronaldo’s net worth has topped $1.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His latest contract renewal with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr is reportedly worth more than $400 million alone—all tax-free.
