Cristiano Ronaldo Net Worth: How Juventus Star Spends His Salary - Cars, Houses And More!
Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth proves he is the most bankable star of his generation. The superstar lives a fast life and this is how he spends his hard earned money.
Ronaldo has played in the English Premier League (Manchester United), La Liga (Real Madrid) and now plays for Serie A giants Juventus. He has won trophies everywhere went and because of this, his contract ballooned over time. His net worth is allegedly at $460 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.
The 34 year-old talisman signed with Juventus for a discounted rate of $64 million per year for the next 4 years after leaving Real Madrid. For a star of his stature, everyone is wondering where he spends his money on. It appears Ronaldo has a taste for the finer things in life.
The Portugal national team captain owns a fleet of cars. He is known in football for his pace and accuracy and it shows in the cars that he drives. Among those included in his collection are a Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, Bentley GT Speed, Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTO, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Ferrari F430, Rolls Royce Phantom, Maserati GranCabrio, BMW M6, Bentley Continental GTC, Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sports Coupé, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche 911 Carrera 2S Cabriolet, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Audi Q7, Audi RS6 and Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI. The total cost of these luxury cars are worth at least several millions of dollars.
Where does the five-time Ballon D’Or recipient get his money? Aside from his salary, he also makes millions from endorsement deals. After playing for three major football leagues in Europe, Ronaldo has established his brands in different countries and its people.
His social media following is no joke either. Business Insider reports that even if he stopped playing football, he can still earn money via sponsored posts on his social media accounts. It is estimated that he earns at least $47.8 million per year from his social media contents. This is more than his combined salary plus won game bonuses for the Italian club.
With an Instagram follower count of 191 million and still growing, he even has more followers than Ariana Grande, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Kim Kardashian. His Twitter and Facebook page have 81.2 million and 121 million followers, respectively. It is one of the reasons why brands are scrambling to sign him up because his online reach and audience is unparalleled, making him the perfect ambassador among all the athletes.
He is sponsored by Altice, DAZN, MTG, Herbalife, Electronic Arts, Castrol, Samsung, KFC, Shopee and Nike. He also has his own line -- CR7 retails underwears and perfume. Aside from these, he has a house in Madrid reportedly worth $7.1 million and an apartment in Trump Towers worth $18.5 million.
His success led an airport in Portugal to be renamed to Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo in 2016. Having an airport named after you and having the most number of followers in social media means one thing: Cristiano Ronaldo is a man of power and a certified marketing king.
