when the Forbes announced the list of “The highest paid athletes in the world in 2024”, Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) was named at the top of the table with an income of 260 million USD (more than 6.608 billion VND). This is the fourth time he has led this list throughout his illustrious football career.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, a famous Portuguese player who owns assets worth 600 million USD (more than 15.250 billion VND), often likes to buy luxury items. In particular, the watch collection has become a symbol of CR7’s journey.
In 2008, early in his career, Ronaldo was often seen wearing a Rolex Daytona Ref. 116520 in classic steel with black dial. On the resale market, this watch model is priced at 17.999-34.000 USD (457-864 million VND) (Photo: Wrist Enthusiast).

The watch case is set with 56 diamonds, while the bezel is set with 36 multicolored baguette-cut sapphires.

Another extremely rare watch entirely encrusted with diamonds by Cristiano Ronaldo is the Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Tourbillon in white gold, which comes with a strap that matches the case and dial. This design costs 1,45 million USD (nearly 37 billion VND) (Photo: @cristiano, Superwatchman).
CR7’s Octo L’Originale Tourbillon Blue Full Baguette Diamonds contains a BVL 263 automatic tourbillon and is set with 451 baguette-cut diamonds with a total weight of just under 20 carats. The watch model costs 708.000 USD (nearly 18 billion VND), is limited to 8 pieces (Photo: @cristiano, Boss Hunting).
During the official launch after moving to Al Nassr club, CR7 wore the Jacob and Co. Caviar Flying Tourbillon Tzavorites in white gold, worth 780.000 USD (nearly 20 billion VND). The dial is completely invisible set with more than 130 baguette-cut gems. Invisible setting is extremely difficult to complete, as there is no supporting metal visible under the stone. This makes the diamond look bigger (Photo: IFL Watches).
The 50mm Breguet Classique “Grande Complications” has a platinum case, with two rotating tourbillons. This watch is made from over 400 baguette-cut diamonds and the entire back of the watch is made of sapphire. This design costs 802.000 USD (more than 20 billion VND) (Photo: @cristiano, Boss Hunting).
The Grand Baguette Diamond has five dials, helping to track multiple time zones. The watch is 47mm wide and pentagonal in shape, with 761 diamonds decorating the case and dial. The design is worth 1 million USD (more than 25 billion VND) (Photo: Superwatchman).
