While many reports estimate Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth to be around $500 million, no one can say exactly how much he is worth. Cristiano Ronaldo has some significant sponsorships which have boosted his net worth. His most significant deal is with Nike. Nike first signed Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003 when Sir Alex Ferguson signed him for Manchester United. Ronaldo was given a lifetime deal with Nike in 2016 when he was playing for Real Madrid. He was the third athlete to have been offered such a deal with Nike after Lebron James and Michael Jordan. Cristiano Ronaldo, however, has the biggest contract with Nike. He was reportedly offered a $1 billion lifetime deal.
Ronaldo also has multiple businesses up and running. The Portuguese started a ‘CR7’ underwear line, which has now expanded to perfume, clothing, leisure, and other home products. Cristiano Ronaldo has hotels called ‘Pestana CR7’ and gyms around the world. The first gym was opened under the name of ‘CR7 Fitness’ in Madrid. The player’s social media influence is another way for him to make money. As of November 2023, Ronaldo has 612 million followers on Instagram alone. The more followers, the more you get paid for a branded post or story on Instagram. This helps Ronaldo create another revenue stream.
How much does the Portuguese star make at Al-Nassr?
Cristiano Ronaldo has had lucrative contracts at whichever club he has played for. His current salary package at Al-Nassr, however, is one of the biggest contracts in football history. Ronaldo reportedly nets $215 million a year at the club. This breaks down to approximately $4.1 million a week. To put this into perspective, Ronaldo was making roughly $27 million a year at Manchester United and $34 million a year at Juventus. He has made a huge jump to go from these figures to earning $215 million a year at Al-Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth is expected to rise even further. Not only is he earning a lot at Al-Nassr, but he has become the face of the Saudi Pro League. Many top footballers have followed Cristiano Ronaldo and joined the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo will surely be profiting from helping Saudi Arabia’s football league develop into one of the top leagues. Saudi Pro League teams have signed a variety of players from some of the top clubs in football.
Cristiano Ronaldo may have left European football behind, but he is now helping the Saudi Pro League shine bright. He has become one of the biggest earners in football. His sponsorships and salary will surely help his net worth skyrocket even further in the future. Ronaldo has smartly diversified in businesses outside of football.
