Cristiano Ronaldo has officially become football's first billionaire making history once again. This massive achievement has shocked fans and critics to their cores, but perhaps the more intriguing part is what he's now saying about his future in the sport. His path to enormous wealth has been years in the making, and his retirement hints suggest he still has fire left in him but for how long?
Ronaldo and historic football moments go hand in hand. His transformation into the first billionaire footballer was confirmed by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which puts his net worth at £1.04 billion (roughly $1.4 billion) as of 2025.That staggering number encompasses not just his salary, but also his endorsements, investments, and revenue from his personal brand of CR7. Over the span from 2002 to 2023, Bloomberg counts his football earnings alone at more than £410 million that serve as his salary.
