At 41, Cristiano Ronaldo's fortune has reached a landmark few athletes in history have ever achieved. Although the Portuguese superstar's final World Cup campaign has come to an end, he continues to top Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid athletes for a fourth consecutive year, with his wealth estimated at $1.2 billion (£896,118,000).
Ronaldo remains one of the most recognisable figures in sport, with earnings extending far beyond his football salary. Thanks to high-profile sponsorships, profitable investments and an unparalleled global following, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has become one of the world's most marketable athletes.
