You asked me which products America produces and I gave them to you. Many of the products produced by the Chinese are originally from either America or Europe. They are on franchise from either of the places.

Which country produces all these vehicles Ford, Chevrolet, and Tesla.

The Boeing airplanes are produced in which country

All these companies Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bio-Rad Laboratories, PerkinElmer, and Danaher Corporation, that produces lab equipment are from which country.
Tesla Are made in China

You sound like APC supporter

You AI or google bro.

Danaher has significant production in China, including a major research, development, and manufacturing base in Shanghai that supports a substantial portion of its global production capacity.

No need to argue with you again like I said 90% of USA product are made in china .

Ronaldo
Of course. Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is a subject of much interest and is a testament to his incredible success both on and off the pitch.

As of late 2023 and into 2024, **Cristiano Ronaldo's estimated net worth is approximately $600 million USD.** Some estimates even place it closer to $1 billion when accounting for the full value of his long-term business ventures and brand.

He is the first footballer to break the $1 billion earnings barrier *from his career and endorsements alone* (before taxes and spending), making him one of the highest-paid athletes in history.

Here’s a breakdown of how he built his massive wealth:

### 1. Football Salaries (The Foundation)
A significant portion of his earnings has come from his astronomical club salaries over the years:
* **Al-Nassr (Current Club, 2023-Present):** This is his largest contract ever. He is estimated to earn **$200 million per year**, making him the highest-paid athlete in the world by salary.
* **Manchester United (2021-2022):** Earned approximately £26 million ($30M USD) per year.
* **Juventus (2018-2021):** Earned an estimated €30 million ($35M USD) per year.
* **Real Madrid (2009-2018):** His salary grew significantly here, culminating in a contract worth around €21 million ($25M USD) per year.
* **Manchester United (First stint, 2003-2009):** His first major professional contract where his earnings skyrocketed.

### 2. Endorsements & Sponsorships (The Game-Changer)
This is arguably where Ronaldo has separated himself. He has a vast portfolio of lucrative long-term deals:
* **Nike:** His lifetime contract with Nike, signed in 2016, is worth an estimated **$1 billion** over its duration.
* **Herbalife:** A long-term partnership.
* **Tag Heuer:** Swiss luxury watchmaker.
* **PokerStars:** Brand ambassador.
* **Clear Shampoo:** Famous for his iconic hair and commercials.
* **CR7 Brand:** His own brand (see below).

He reportedly earns **over $50 million per year** from endorsements alone.

### 3. Business Ventures & Investments (Building an Empire)
Ronaldo is astute at turning his brand into a business empire:
* **CR7 Brand:** His own hugely successful brand encompassing:
* **Underwear & Fragrances:** A cornerstone of his fashion line.
* **Footwear & Apparel:** In collaboration with Nike.
* **Eyewear:** Partnership with Mint & Eyewear Designs.
* **Pestana CR7 Hotels:** A joint venture with the Pestana Group to open a chain of hotels in Lisbon, Madrid, New York, Marrakech, and soon Paris.
* **CR7 Fitness:** A line of gyms.
* **Lifefitness:** Investor and partner.
* **ZujuGP:** A digital football platform where he is a major investor.
* **Real Estate:** Owns a portfolio of luxurious properties in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and New York.

### Comparison with Messi
It's a natural comparison. Historically, Lionel Messi's net worth has been very close to Ronaldo's, often trading the top spot. With Messi's move to Inter Miami and his own massive endorsement deals (particularly with Adidas and Apple), his net worth is also estimated to be in the **$600-$650 million range**. Their financial rivalry is as close as their sporting one.

**In summary: Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth of ~$600 million is built on a three-pillar foundation: record-breaking football salaries, unmatched endorsement income, and a savvy, growing business empire centered around his global CR7 brand.** His move to Saudi Arabia has significantly accelerated his wealth accumulation in recent years.

I have a friend who wants to relocate to either Canada or UK. She has a PhD in chemical engineering, postgraduate diploma in business administration, 10years of work experience as business development manager of a waste management company and 20m naira budget.

Can she make it to the UK or Canada? If no, which other country can fall within her budget?
With all that degree she will end up as a cleaner or security guard. What a pity

China shud be grateful to the allies army of the west comprising of the USA and British army for liberating her from the deadly imperial Japanese in 1945.

In the next 200 years the East will still be far behind the West. That's the fact. Team West any time any day,cos that's where Nigerians repatriate billions of dollars back home.
The west will not grant you visa stop glorifying them.
Nobody believes China will catch up this fast 💨. They are ahead of USA in everything apart from chips , give dem few more years they will catch up with the chip technology and it will be the end of West just like it has been the end of EU because of the fear of Russia. 🇷🇺

Dalohad:
N20 bribe and the judge was dealt with..

Today, judges openly take bribes and houses in billions of naira from politicians like Wike and co. in return for favourable judgements.

They've destroyed Imo state and now have Rivers State under siege.

Kekere-Ekun and co. one day you all will stand before God and account for the judicial evil you did Imo and Nigeria at large.

For those quoting me:
Let's do some exercise in economics.

In 1976 1N was $1.25

$1.25 in 1976 is worth $7.10 today in 2025 based on inflation.

Multiply $7.10 by 20 you get $141.2 thereabout in today's money.

That was worth of the bribe the judge took in 1976 that got him arrested.
That why we are not progressing as a nation leaving everything for God , the people in power even pastor know there’s no such thing that why they are using it anyhow because nobody will hold them accountable.
PoliticsRe: Rivers: Wike Regains Control Of Political Structure As Fubara, Loyalists Boycott by Smartguyboy(m): 12:30pm On Aug 31, 2025
Softmirror:
Fubara miscalculated, his government would have been far more positively impartful than Wike's because that was Wike's intention of making him Governor so that he will be supported by his influence as a right hand man of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But, Fubara ended up befriend the politicians who are enemies of the people of Rivers State.

There is no doubt that the people of Rivers State see Wike as a man of honor and majority are very loyal to him.

Wike is indeed a FIELD MARSHAL in Nigeria's politics. He under studies every battle and knows how to win.

I hope Fubara has learnt his lessons. If he likes he should return to his old ways of being unreasonable. He will be checkmated by from every corner.
LoL
Nothing like field marshal
We have a weak, failed and useless judiciary system where the highest bidder also win and Wike controls the judiciary.

Please educate them

Let me add my voice

Granting someone bail at any amount simply means that the person who will stand as surety to the accused must be ready to pay that amount when the accused runs away before the conclusion of the case, meaning the surety is not even paying any money before the release of the accused...even cubana doesn't know the meaning of bail, hence he wouldn't have posted that "money na water "...no one paid any money...it is simply a condition should the accused runs away
I bet 99.9 % of nairalanders do not know this
