Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed $1billion (£855million) in career earnings in 2020 but a difficult first campaign back at Old Trafford has seen the 37-year-old receive an unwelcome pay cut to his annual salary.
The Portuguese international returned to the Red Devils last summer on a two-year deal, and had reportedly signed a £480,000-a-week contract to take his annual earnings up to £25m, helping him to achieve a net worth of $500m (£367m) shortly after.
However, after United failed to secure UEFA Champions League football last season with a dismal sixth-placed finish, all of the club’s players were forced to take a 25% pay cut, leaving Ronaldo ‘upset’ and impacting his future career earnings and current net worth.
