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.

Master of confusion. Forbes is the world wide known voice on wealth ranking. Please show your quotes from Forbes.
Afteralll different magazines put different people on different scale. So we started with Forbes, show your quote from Forbes.

Meanwhile, go and learn what investments are.
It wil help you lot.

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.

Forbes never called Ronaldo a billionaire. It's people peddling fake headlines that are misleading others



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.

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.

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.
Wake up man. The more you hail other peoples achievement and hard work the more your own doors will open.

myboy2111:
Earning upto $1 billion over your career does not make you a billionaire. It is the Worth of your net assets that makes you a billionaire.

Moderator, you are misleading People with your headline

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.

2loadedguy:
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.

Isn't it wonderful, that of the millions that play football and play penalties like him, combined with those that are more skillful than him, he (Ronaldo) alone became the first and only football billionaire.
My dear, if am to ask for God's blessing in my trade or profession that's the kind of grace I'll ask for. Where everything i touch turns to Gold even if others keep struggling. I use him Ronaldo as a point of contact for my own blessings.

StubbornGENIUS:
Where is his olympic gold medal and sixth ballon d'or?

They are less than 2 senior national team trophies and 5 champion league trophies plus a hero in 3 countries football league.

So what's Messi been doing. At least he has to learn from Ronaldo in this aspect of life. Never knew football could make one rub shoulders with the richest men on Earth.
However, I know Ronaldo is also world no.1 in Instagram and other social media. Means that even if football is suspended for a year and no salaries he'll keep earning hundreds of millions per year from social media adverts.
Kudos to you CR7. Kindly take a bow!

My question is why should a billionaire still be playing football as a career. Struggling for the ball with folks you're probably 100 times richer than and training every morning and evening.
Mr Ronaldo, isn't it time to vacate and relax in one Caribbean island and enjoy red wine /sunny beaches for the rest of your life.

Blackking98:
hes now Igbo?
But you'll later say he is ikwerre.
Stand one place so thunder can fire u properly.

Ikwerre is Igbo. Divided by politics and Geography. Just like the Yoruba folks in Kogi state.
Another example is Bishop Oyedepo who is a northerner, from kwara state but is also Yoruba.

Attention seeking woman, you have no reason to attack your superior publicly. Before you know it She started playing the Woman card of gender victimization.
For God sake what is Buhari doing. This woman should be dismissed at once. In a private organization by now she would have been sacked. She took it too personal maybe because of her ego and I have lost all the respect I had for her.

Oyedepo said so rightly, but fake/political pastors like Poju said we can keep on worshiping through Facebook. Maybe at the end of this his members will remain Facebook n internet worshippers.
Be careful what you ask for....!

STREETSAN:
Nothing special. It's tax payers money to start with

So if Lagos tax payers bail out 51 stranded Nigerians from different states its not commendable?
Why can't you appreciate a good gesture even if it's just a token. Why is your heart so wicked?

What's happening in Lagos. We all are in trouble ooo. The shut down should be reinstated immediately pls.

very beautiful

If Jonathan had ruled another 4 years, 50 % of our current problems won't be there today.

And maybe many more new unknown ones would have sprang up

hmmm

So a whole Rivers state governor doesn't even know that ExxonMobil has a multi billion dollar Terminal in Bonny called BRT (Bonny River Terminal) where several of their staff work and reside. What does he mean that they ExxonMobil only use Onne wharf.
Can someone who knows our Oil industry well or knows Rivers state well Kindly educate this fanatical young man pls.

Everyone that is a contact of a confirmed case should be given a fair chance at testing.

Testing should not be reserved for just elites and politicians.

He had a direct contact with someone that tested positive and thats the primary reason he was tested.

Ok

Hmmmm

Is Kyari going for a 3rd Term or what?

Beautiful

After looting Rivers state for 8 solid years, Dr Peter Odili became the 1st person in Africa to receive a perpetual injunction against any form of investigation or prosecution of his person. Courtesy of this same woman who happens to be his wife who engineered that Supreme Court verdict. So he Peter Odili went free with his billions and can never be touched again until Jesus returns.
May be its now time for something to be done about that perpetual injunction and bring the looting family to book. God has a way of bringing things to our remembrance. Odili cannot go free.

Tinubu is very wise. What he simply said is that he supports Amotekun but that for it to fly properly they need to engage the Office of the Attorney General to iron out issues/details which was an initial mistake of the Governors. He also rebuked the AG for speaking hastily and characterizing Amotekun as a Defense rather than a Security outfit.

Those criticizing him blindly like Afenifere have always criticized anything he says or does. Its open knowledge that Afenifere is a PDP leaning organisation. They backed Atiku to win yet they come round to accuse Tinubu of selling out to the North...as if Atiku is from Edo state. Hypocrites!

coolitempa:
Says who? People have lived there for centuries without any problems I have been there with my guy many times. Issue is, who are these soldiers? Who sent them and where did they come from?

That place should be an international tourist resort with standard hotels if well developed. That people have lived there for centuries is irrelevant. Did Vi, Ikoyi, ikeja GRA and Dangote Refinery site etc not have indigenes before? The proper thing to do is to compensate them or resettle them.

Ok

Over confidence from Ihedioha's legal team led to their down fall
