The Portuguese striker ranked 6th in the list of Top Earners in 2019 of 100 entertainment stars after Messi, Kanye West, Ed Sheeran, Kylie Jenner and Taylor Swift.
CR7’s assets are estimated to be around 450 million USD. This number will increase sharply because Ronaldo receives a salary of up to 31 million euros/year at Juventus along with a series of image copyright contracts.
Ronaldo is also one of the best examples of hard work in sports. Born into difficult circumstances, the Portuguese player turned it into a great source of motivation to fight. And now, he wants to teach that to his son.
Ronaldo shared: “As a player, I want my son to become a player. He must be a top player like his father. He is still young, only 5 years old, but he already likes football. That is a plus. My family has 30 balls and I also bring home a lot of balls.”
Knowing that his son loves playing football like his father, Ronaldo always creates conditions for his son to go to the field and fosters the things he loves.

It is not simple and sometimes requires luck. And Ronaldo trained him from a young age, starting with preparing a good physical condition.

C. Ronaldo and Miguel Paixao lived in Lisbon for a long time when they were playing. Recently, the two brought their young son Cristiano Jr back to the old place to reminisce about old times.
Sharing on Portuguese TV channel TV1 , Ronaldo said: “I took my son back to the place where I lived as a child. Honestly, I don’t really want to go back to this place because every time I see the poverty here, it touches me.
I walked with Paixao and Cristiano Jr. into the room where I used to live. My son turned to me and said, “Dad, you lived here .” He couldn’t believe it.
You think everything is easy in this life. But everything complete, house, car, clothes… does not fall from the sky. That is what I try to instill in my son.
Even when I participate in school events, I try to convey that to the kids. It is through hard work and dedication that we can get everything we want.”
