[s]To Cristiano Ronaldo Football is all about the Money,reason he left Real to Juventus, The positive aspect is that he got all he wants and he's doing well for himself... Lionel Messi could have simply achieved this feet long ago if he wishes, but he chose loyalty reason most people wants his head...But if your girl/wife leaves you and run after a richer man, you be here shouting Gold digger upandan[/s]


Trash...

FYI Cristiano Ronaldo took a pay cut to join Juventus. He was earning more at Real Madrid. Now before you counter me do your research if not I'll post more than 4 links to back up my claims.

Average footballers are richer than the average musicians. Right now there's only 1 active musician richer than Ronaldo or Messi and he didn't get it from making music alone.

Is he a billionaire ? OR has he earned 1 billion dollars?


There is a difference.

His net worth is about $500 million but he has earned over 1 billion dollars over the course of his playing career.

He is not a billionaire. His net worth is $500 million. But he had earned over $1 billion for almost two decades that he has been playing football. And he has spent a large part of that money.

bros...are you for real?? you didn't see where Forbes claimed she falsified her account statementsand that she's no where near being a billionaire hmmm...pls read news

Forbes said she is worth $916 million. That is very close to being a billionaire. And Ronaldo is far from being a billionaire.

But his net worth is not up to a billion now undecided Kylie Jenner get money pass Messi and Ronaldo combined

So you mean all his investments over time could not have yielded over a billion dollars. You reason am na!. What you've got up there is his aggregated earnings in his professional career. Trust me, returns from his biz ventures and assets would be over a billion dollars

Mr Man, the same indices Forbes used to judge Ronaldo is the same they used to judge everyone including Tiger Woods, P Diddy, Mayweather, Jay Z, Otedola, Roger Federer, Michael Jordan, David Brlecham etc. Including your god Messi. So if Ronaldo isn't a billionaire, it equally means many of the folks in their list are not billionaires too.
So stop sulking young man. Wake up and for once in your miserable little life hail another person's achievements.

Ronaldo's net worth is about $500 million. He is not yet a billionaire.

That's not the point bro, the point is being a billionaire, either you made the money from music or not.

On my own part, I have always argued that musicians are richer than footballers, so far they are placed in par.

If he wasn't called a billionaire it means that Tiger Woods, P Diddy, Mayweather etc were not called billionaires too. It now means that Forbes billionaires list is fraudulent. Your argument does not hold.
Why is it that only when it comes to Ronaldo that haters and Messi worshippers like you will start sulking.

Mayweather and Tiger Woods were the first sportsmen to earn $1 billion from their career. They are not billionaires.

Woods has earned more than $1.4 billion from sponsors since he turned pro in 1996, according to Forbes. His personal net worth was estimated to be $800 million as of 2018.

This is from Forbes.

Mr fake news, why don't you show us the link to the place that said his net worth is just $500m.
Paste it here let us see. And also paste the net worth of other people that Forbes mentioned too.
Or is it from your own wishful imagination?

Just imagine your daft argument, that because he has been playing football for long that he has spent a large part of his earnings.
Have you forgotten what investments are? Ronaldo has several CR7 brands, has CR7 hotels and other businesses too that are flourishing.
If he invested $100m of his earnings several years ago do you know what those businesses will be worth now?
I bought shares in a company several years ago that now gives me dividend close to my monthly salary. Its money making principle.
Grow up man and learn the secrets of how to make wealth rather than expose your ignorance here.

So much ignorance in one post. Google is there for you.

Tiger Woods, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and C. Ronaldo have all earned over a billion each from sports. None of them is a billionaire.

That $1 billion is the sum of all the money he has earned from when he was a youth. He has since spent a lot of it on taxes, fashion, depreciating assets like cars and other things.

No point in arguing further with you.

Google C.Ronaldo net worth and see for yourself.

Stop coming online to display your ignorance here. A simple google from your phone will tell you what you have typed is blasphemy. Pjanic is rated the best freekick taker in the world and Ronaldo is not even in the first 5 mentions, the best dribbler in the world also is of course Lionel Messi while your Ronaldo is not even also in the first five mention here. In header he made the first five but even Didier Drogba is considered a better header of the ball than Ronaldo.
Gullible lazy folks won't do any research but just come online and type rubbish.
Bro from my own search Ronaldo has score more freekicks than even Pjanic.
he also has completed more dribbles in a game than any other player in history.
he has more headed goals than Drogba even did.

C Ronaldo has proved over time that with different leagues that he's simply a great player, a good business man too.
Messi should have attempted to play where any of those places you mentioned.

Messi is a natural gifted player that why he makes playing football see so easy and effortless (am even a bigger fan of his than you)

But C. Ronaldo, you just got to give it to this guy that despite all odds he's still standing and still pushing even Messi to Limits.

Great players both of them. And congrats to him on his Billionaire feat

dts so cool being the first billionare footballer but all the same it doesnt takes anything from the fact dt messi is currently leading the G.O.A.T race for the main time..footballers are rated based on thier achievements n laurels won and not based on how much is in thier account, knew that juve deal was a very lucrative one for him to dump madrid for italy knowing fully well dt his chances of winning ballon d or is very slim in juve..pls d cr7 fans am happy for him bt dnt get too carried away bcoz his move to madrid was once d highest transfer ever bt now its small money in today's transfer business and a few years from now anoda player wud be raking hundreds of billions because footballers are making mad money but i dnt think any player would dominate the world lyk this two alliens, also if football is all abt money messi would av done dt figures a long time ago bcoz all top rich clubs lyk p.s.g, mancity, those crazy guys in china n even madrid made various lucrative bids for messi and even heard abt city giving him a blank cheque to say his prize bt he ignored n still at barca and av achieved more, and lastly, currently am happy dt we all agree dt messi is d main G.O.A.T (6 ballon d or n more awards and trophies won) and cr7 is d first footballer to reach billion figures(mayb dt wud mk him win d next ballon d or)...figures dt messi and neyma would shatter before they retire...
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Is Football 1st Billionaire - Forbes by Bobby4090: 4:42pm On Jun 05, 2020
Let's assume
Ronaldo made $1b all his life.

From there he ate/spent/squandered $400m. Remaining $600m.

He then invested $400m in his CR7 hotel brands, cloth brands and other businesses too.
Remaining just $200m

Those businesses over the years are flourishing and now worth double, that's like $800m.

So how much is Ronaldo worth now? Simple. It's.....

$200m savings from his football earnings.
$800m from his business worth and profits.

Thats how it works.

am sorry but i dnt get ur arguments or wr u are coming from...all the greats players u mentioned dnt av the numbers of tropies messi have and am not sayin cr7 isn't good..all am saying is that being a billionaire is not a big deal because messi and neyma were almost there if not for the paycut caused by covid and also congrats to cr7 bt at the end of the day the comparison would still be who was the real GOAT and not the richest or first to strike gold because they are both rich and we dnt kno who may endup richer for now but they would always leave fans divided on that GOAT issue and thats my main point

His earnings from his CR7 brand and other investments were not even included in the article. What made him a billionaire was just salary and other sponsorship deals and bonuses.

So he'll be way over a billion by now. He's only 35, that's a good feat.

Show me where Forbes called C.Ronaldo a billionaire.

Show me where they called Mayweather a billionaire or Tiger Woods a billionaire.

Just show me.

Tiger Woods earned a total of $1 billion by 2009. Yet, his name has never been on Forbes billionaire list .

Mayweather has made over a billionaire from boxing. Yet he had never been called a billionaire cos he spends it as he gets it.

What's the skill named after Ronaldo other than the widely known penaldo? We all know he's the king of penalties. You call Ronaldo that cannot put two passes together for his teammates the most complete player? I have video proof of his matches in Juve, his passing ability is extremely poor and thats what makes a player complete because u need vision and teamwork in football which is the reason many football coaches and pundits will always rate Messi ahead of him anytime anyday cos of Messi's playmaking abilities.
The way you people whine yourselves. You think it’s your talk that determines how Ronaldo plays grin grin grin
You really want to tell me Ronaldo doesn’t pass. Right from 2012, you people have been saying this thing. I have still not seen the rubbish you people are talking about.
