What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth?

ITAHARI: AUGUST 29 – Cristiano Ronaldo may have taken a slight wage cut in swapping Juventus for Manchester United, but the Portugal star remains one of the biggest earners in football.

His £13 million (€15m/$18m) move back to the Premier League means that he must re-adjust to the English game, but it hasn’t altered his appetite for business.

The Portugal star has more than his fair share of sponsorship deals and enterprises across a variety of industries.

But exactly how much is Ronaldo now worth? It’s difficult to say exactly but what is clear is that he will be firmly among the highest-paid athletes in the world for a while yet.

What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth?

Ronaldo is reported to have a net worth of around $500 million (£363m), but no one can really claim to have a bulletproof idea of what Ronaldo is worth except his management company.

The estimated net worth of Ronaldo is slightly higher than that of his long-time rival Lionel Messi, though the Argentine has won more lucrative contracts in recent years.

Ronaldo was ranked third on Forbes’ 2021 list of the highest-paid athletes in the world, with earnings of $120 million (£87m) – $50 million (£36m) of that was accrued through off-field ventures.

On that occasion, the Portugal captain was behind UFC fighter Conor McGregor, who topped the list, and Messi, who was second.

He was, however, ahead of the likes of Dak Prescott, LeBron James and Neymar, among others.

What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s salary?

Ronaldo is expected to earn roughly £480,000 per week at Manchester United, or €23m (£19.7m/$27m) – a pay cut from his €30m ($34m/£26m) a year salary at Juventus.

Prior to his switch to Juve, Ronaldo had signed a contract with Real Madrid in November of 2016, which was reported to be around £365,000 a week before bonuses.

The Portugal captain’s contract earnings mean that he is among the most lucratively rewarded footballers in the world.
