Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is 31 years old, with his playing career still in full swing and, while he has been wowing the world with his inimitable skills on the ground, elsewhere too he has been making a name for himself - we are talking about Ronaldo the entrepreneur and how he has been raising his entrepreneurial profile with each passing year and capitalising globally on his brand value. The billionaire status of Cristiano Ronaldo, his status as a global star and his ambition in business contrast with his modest origins in Madeira, where he was born 31 years ago in a humble family. Here are top 10 points to note.

In just a matter of months, Cristiano Ronaldo has strengthened his presence outside soccer grounds by launching a line of footwear and signed an alliance with a Portuguese hotel chain, which adds to his original forms of promotion, such as the release of a film about his life and the creation of a traveling museum with his most precious "treasures", reports EFE. The agreement with the Portuguese chain is expected to bear fruit in the opening of four new hotels, located in Funchal (the capital of his native Madeira), Lisbon, Madrid and New York.

The IPAM calculated, using data from 2014, the value of Cristiano Ronaldo as a trademark at 54 million euros ($60 million), a figure that 'has not stopped rising' because his popularity is growing.
