What is Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth?

The Portuguese superstar is regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time

The Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a lot of sponsorships and commercial activities, made a spectacular comeback to the Premier League in 2021.

Cristiano Ronaldo may have left Manchester United for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, leaving the bright lights of European football behind, but the Portuguese star is still one of the highest-paid athletes in all of sports.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner not only earns a tonne of money from his playing contract, but he also has several sponsorship agreements and businesses in a range of different sectors.

What is Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth?

Their estimated net worth of Ronaldo is $500 million (£363 million), yet no one, except his management business, can legitimately claim to have a crystal-clear understanding of what Ronaldo is worth.

Even though Messi, a longstanding competitor, has recently landed more lucrative contracts, Ronaldo's projected net worth is somewhat more than that of the Argentine. Ronaldo could maintain his lead thanks in part to the lucrative transfer to Saudi Arabia.

With an income of $115 million (£93 million), which were a decrease of $5 million from the previous year, Ronaldo was rated third in Forbes' 2022 list of the best-paid sportsmen in the world.

The NBA legend LeBron James, who placed second, and Messi, who came in first, were ahead of Portugal's captain. He beat out players like Roger Federer, Steph Curry, Neymar, and Kevin Durant.

According to reports, Ronaldo's deal with Al-Nassr guarantees a wage of $215 million (£177 million) every year. It amounts to almost $4.1 million (£3.4 million) every week.

The contract with his new club is a significant boost above the salary he received at Manchester United, where it is believed he received £20 million ($27 million) annually. That sum represented a huge pay drop from his Juventus salary of €30 million ($34 million/£26 million) at the time, but the Al-Nassr contract has more than made up for it.

What endorsement agreements does Cristiano Ronaldo hold?

The biggest sponsorship agreement for Ronaldo is with Nike, which was extended at the same time he extended his previous Madrid contract.

The deal with Nike is reportedly the second lifelong deal the apparel behemoth has granted, after its offer to three-time NBA champion LeBron James on comparable terms. The agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers legend is rumoured to be worth more than $1 billion overall, though the breakdown per year is not disclosed.

Many have naturally concluded that Ronaldo signed on a similar basis. The $1 billion number may sound astounding, but sponsorship researcher Hookit calculated that Ronaldo's social media presence alone was worth an astounding $474 million to Nike in 2016.

Ronaldo has sponsorship agreements with brands including Armani, Tag Heuer, Egyptian Steel, Herbalife, Italy Independent, Clear, PokerStars, and Castrol in addition to Nike.

LiveScore, MEO, ZujuGP, Uniecampus, Therabody, and Clear are much more current partners.

What companies is Cristiano Ronaldo a part of?

Along with promoting several well-known global companies, Ronaldo has also developed his own under the CR7 moniker. His pants line is the main focus, but it has expanded to encompass other clothes, leisure and household goods.

Also, Ronaldo owns some Pestana CR7 hotels in Portugal, including one in the nation's capital, Lisbon, and another in Funchal, the island of Madeira, where he was born. In addition to Madrid, New York, and Marrakech, Pestana CR7 has hotels. Through cooperation with American health brand Crunch, he entered the gym business before the end of 2016, opening the first location under the moniker "CR7 Fitness" in Madrid.

Ronaldo opened the Insparya transplant facility in Spain in March 2019. At the launch, Ronaldo declared, "This initiative is going to be a success since we want to support the Spaniards and the Spanish economy."

As his playing career comes to an end, expect to see the seasoned star grow even further into these fields. Michael Jordan is proof that the best athletes' names continue to be valuable long after they have retired.

What kind of charitable work carries out by Cristiano Ronaldo?

It would be incorrect to claim that Ronaldo does not try to use part of his wealth for the greater good; in fact, Dosomething.org named him the world's most generous sports celebrity in 2015.

The webpage praised Ronaldo for using his notoriety to support many causes, such as obesity in children, hunger, and biodiversity. It spotlighted his $83,000 campaign contribution to a 10-year-old fan in need of major surgery as well as his $165,000 gift to a cancer hospital in Portugal that treated his mother.

It was revealed during the 2016 Champions League final that the former Manchester United player had told his agent Jorge Mendes to give his €600,000 victory bonus to an NGO. Ronaldo has previously backed organisations including UNICEF, World Vision, and Save the Children.

Ronaldo donated what Save the Children termed as a "generous" gift to their cause in 2016 and recorded a message for the children impacted by the crisis in Syria.

To assist a fresh crop of young footballers to polish their talents, Ronaldo worked with Nike in 2021 to repair an ancient football field in his birthplace of Funchal. 24 scholarships at the eCampus Universita were financed by the Portuguese that year as well.

How many followers does Cristiano Ronaldo have on social media?

Ronaldo has 702 million followers total on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as of January 2023.

Particularly, his Facebook profile has by far the highest level of popularity among all athletes on the site. Ronaldo leads Messi, who has 113 million fans, by a wide margin and is even more popular than The Rock, who has 61 million. Ronaldo alone has 160 million followers overall.

Ronaldo also happens to be the most followed user on Instagram, with 535 million followers, so he holds the top spot there as well. That puts him in front of Messi, Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, and The Rock, and he is second overall, just behind the official Instagram account.
