The older Ronaldo gets, the higher his salary gets
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most famous players in the world. His talent has been proven on the field with a series of scoring records accompanied by noble titles.
Year by year, people thought that as Ronaldo got older, his career would slow down, but no. CR7 is still fighting hard at the age of 38 and especially, his income is also increasing day by day.
According to recent statistics, Ronaldo only had a salary of 83,000 euros per month when he played for Sporting Club (2004). After that, he took a big step in his career when he joined MU. At Old Trafford, the Portuguese superstar’s income reached its highest level of 375,000 per month in 2008.
Paradox: The older Ronaldo gets, the higher his salary gets
In 2009, Ronaldo moved to Spain to play for Real Madrid and his income changed three times. In 2011, Ronaldo’s salary was 1 million euros per month, in 2014 it was 1.5 million euros/month and in 2017 it was 2.1 million euros/month.
In 2018, Ronaldo continued to change destinations when he joined Juventus. In Italy, he has a salary of 2.6 million euros/month.
By 2021, Ronaldo’s career and income had somewhat slowed down when he returned to MU and accepted a salary of 1.4 million euros/month. But by 2023, everything changed 180 degrees. Ronaldo decided to move to the Saudi Pro League and join the Al Nassr Club. Here, he had an unbelievable income of up to 16.7 million euros/month. This is a salary that millions of people dream of.
In addition to his income on the field, Ronaldo is also a character with great image value. From his talented ability to make money, Ronaldo has become the highest-paid player in the world in 2023, Lionel Messi ranked second, Mbappe ranked third.
According to The Sporting News, reports list Cristiano Ronaldo’s total net worth at around $500 million. He also became the first soccer athlete to earn more than $1 billion in 2020. The only other athletes in sports (not just soccer) to achieve this feat before him were golfer Tiger Woods and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., according to CBS Sports.
