All Ronaldo's earnings are from his football salary?

50 percent is ideal pass.

I think 70 percent is directly from football. Then endorsement and maybe person business. But even those endorsmentt and ad's are technically as a result of his achievemetns as footballer. Literarily football made him who is is. That guy may have family with rich oil Wells already. He just may be in it for fun that's all. So yes he may be he richest football but no he is not. We both get the point ..no long talking

Arab?

Even simple geography is too difficult for you.
It is Brunei, not Bahrain. Not all Asian countries are Arabs.
Brunei is neighbor to Malaysia. In fact, their language is Malay.

He can conveniently buy all the top 6 clubs in England with ease.

Till tomorrow, Jefri remains my all time mentor and a legend in chopping life.

Man was an embodiment of excess. Nobody else in the last century comes close.

Messi fans, the fanatics won't like this news.

We're not obsessed with material things and self recognitions, We're obsessed with football and the only on who play it best is the LION. . LEO

LandOwners:
Rich kid.
Spoiled to the core with money.
He is probably playing football to catch cruise.

Even if you have to starve, buy a piece of land. Build a house and have a garden where you can grow food.
Don’t buy another iPhone, or another designer outfit, or aso ebi, until you have started on the journey of home ownership.
Don’t wait to buy a house.
Rather, buy or build a house and wait!”

ogbiwa:
Faiq Bolkiah’s on-pitch achievements are scarce. He represents Brunei at International level but hasn’t achieved much in the game.

Yet the midfielder still boasts a list of former clubs that includes Southampton, Chelsea and Leicester City, as well as a trial with Arsenal.

So why are we bringing him to your attention?

Because he’s rich. Filthy rich.

Bolkiah comes from wealth. His uncle is Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei, and in a 2019 article by the Insider it was reported that Hassanal has 500 Rolls-Royces and regularly spends $20,000 to get his hair cut.

Hassanal was once the richest man in the world, worth as much as $40 billion, and his nephew Faiq is one beneficiary of that.

Indeed, he’s even met the Queen.

Faiq is worth an estimated $20 billion, which makes him the richest footballer in the world by some distance.

By comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo is valued by Goal at £363 million.

Yet such riches haven’t afforded Faiq a fruitful football career and his career has just taken a turn for the worse.

The 23-year-old has been released by Portuguese side Maritimo after just more than a year at the club.

Competition was fierce for him in his youth days...
After playing youth football for AFC Newbury, Faiq signed a one-year deal with Southampton's famed youth academy in 2009.

He didn't quite turn enough heads to secure a full-time contract and went on trial at Arsenal in 2013, playing for the Gunners in the 2013 Lion City Cup.

Faiq got himself on the scoresheet in that tournament against a Singapore youth selection.

Alerted to his availability, Chelsea then swooped and offered him a two-year deal in 2014. But he left Stamford Bridge in December, 2015 to sign for Leicester in a three-year deal.

Despite not playing a professional game in England yet, Faiq has pulled on the international shirt of Brunei six times, finding the net once. He's even captained his national side.

Faiq's dad is quite the character...
He may have an innocent demeanour, but his father Jefri Bolkiah was known as the playboy of the Brunei royal family.

Jefri reportedly lived quite the life of excess, reportedly blowing around £10billion in 15-years as head of the Brunei Investment agency.

At one point, he was said to be spending £35m a month on cars, watches, erotic white gold pens and up to a £1m a hit on karaoke parties with a swarm of beautiful women.

Jefri was also believed to have owned 2,300 cars at the height of his wealth, including a fleet of Bentleys, Ferraris and Rolls-Royces.

However, his pride and joy is a yacht inappropriately called 'Tits' which had tenders called 'Nipple 1' and 'Nipple 2'.

Being a rich kid has its perks, especially if you're Faiq.

When dad Jefri wanted to celebrate his milestone 50th birthday, he also wanted to impress his then 7-year-old son.

So what did he do? He only flew in the 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson to perform a private concert for him and his family.

Jefri paid Jacko around £12.5 million for the privilege, which was chump change for the Brunei royal family.

Making sure Michael was suitably catered for, Jefri also built an entire stadium for the occasion.

But Faiq is determined to shun his riches to make it as a professional footballer...

“I’ve played football since as early as I can remember and from a young age I’ve always enjoyed going out on the field and having the ball at my feet,” he once said in a rare interview.

This story is a very old story but at d same time, it is very misleading. Messi and Ronaldo built their fortune by playing football. This guy didn't build anything by playing football so there's no basis for comparison. He is rich b is of his and not because he plays football

Bodmum:
Messi fans, the fanatics won't like this news.

There's really no basis for this news in d first place because d guy in question didn't make his so called wealth from his profession while Messi and Ronaldo did

Ghostmode2two:
He didn't earn his money through playing football so o won't agree with the OP claiming he is richer than CR7 and Messi. He inherited Arab money though.

He isn't an arab

ArchiLimited:
Money worked for and money inherited. They're usually not on the same level

Oga money is money, stop this your story to console yourself.

boyidoo:
Flamini is richer than him, and made his money himself not inherited

Flaminni is 14billion, the guy is 20billion....Abi u nor D post

I think this op is high on malo ijebu, richest footballer as how? When did some one uncle or father wealth belong to his nephew or son?

ArchiLimited:
Money worked for and money inherited. They're usually not on the same level

ok. So where is he from as I saw Brunel so I thought he was an Arab guy. Thanks

By this news how is Faiq Bolkiah the richest footballer?

paulolee:

simple, they is a big difference between highest earner and richest footballer
the gee was born in to wealth, I no sure say e go dey collect wages from his club, instead na him go de fund any club he joins by buying shares..

So we can as well say Wizkid is the highest earner in Music as of date. Davido just happens to be the richest.
