Whooping! This Is How Much Real Madrid Star Cristiano Ronaldo Is Worth

It is no gainsaying that to say that Cristiano Ronaldo has not done too badly for himself during his career. He has won multiple Ballon d’ors, Champions League titles, league titles in England as well as Spain and the European Championships with Portugal.Blessed with astonishing power, skill and athleticism, the Real Madrid superstar has achieved incredible feats in his career, breaking several goal records along the way. He signed a new deal with Real Madrid last year and earns vast amounts as a result of his multiple commercial deals and business ventures too. How much is Ronaldo’s net worth? It’s difficult to give an exact figure but he is among the highest-paid athletes in the world. Much of his net worth comes from his annual salary of $45 million (£33.4 million). Ronaldo signed a new contract with Madrid in November of 2016 and is reported to earn around £365,000 a week. The new deal runs until 2021.This makes him the highest paid football player at Real Madrid, ahead of Gareth Bale. He also makes a vast sum of money from his endorsement deals from brands such as: Nike; Sacoor Brothers suits; Castrol; Armani; Monster headphones; his own lifestyle brand and Tag Heuer watches. He reportedly earns an additional $40 million (£29.6 million) from endorsements. Ronaldo has two hotels – named Pestana CR7 – in Portugal: one in the capital, Lisbon, and another in Funchal, his hometown on the island of Madeira.In November 2016, it was revealed that Cristiano signed a $1 billion (£742 million) ‘lifetime’ deal with Nike. He has been with Nike since he was a teenager, and regularly works with them to design his own Nike Mercurial football boots. Ronaldo will make $93 million (£69 million) this year, according to Forbes, making him the fifth highest-paid celebrity in 2017 and highest ranked athlete in the world. Ronaldo began his professional soccer career in 2002 and became the first Portuguese player to ever sign for Manchester United. He signed a five-year, $31 million (£23 million) contract extension with the team in 2007. In 2009, he left the Premier League giants to play for Real Madrid, in a world record deal at the time and signed a contract worth $150 million (£113 million).The weight of expectations and his price tag certainly did not weigh him down; and he has become Real Madrid’s all-time record goalscorer (418 goals at present). His net worth as of July is $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.Photo Credit: Getty
