“Some players need others to become great, Ronaldo just needs a ball”
As Luis Figo, the former Portuguese national team captain, rightfully described the five-time Ballon D’or laureate, the world agreed in unison.
There are good players, there are even better players and then there is Cristiano Ronaldo. A global football icon, Cristiano doesn’t chase records, rather it’s the other way round.
Being the fifth-highest paid athlete in the world and the most followed person on Instagram, Cristiano never falls shy of creating records off the field as well.
Ronaldo’s house in Madeira was a place where he used to breathe, eat and even sleep soccer, and has now made a brand out of himself.
With a whopping net worth of $500 million, the Portuguese Captain lives a luxurious life and a major portion of his wealth is utilised in property investments. Nicknamed CR7, he is hugely fond of buying properties in the most beautiful parts of the world.
