Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first active footballer to become a billionaire.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, his net worth is $1.4 billion.
Ronaldo appeared in Bloomberg Billionaire Index’s list for the first time.
This milestone stems from his $400 million Al-Nassr contract, a $1 billion lifetime Nike deal, and CR7 brand investments in hotels, fashion, and gyms.
At age 40, the Portuguese star continues elite play, scoring 35 goals last season.
He outpaced Lionel Messi in career earnings amid soccer’s Gulf-driven financial growth.
