LISBON, October 9, 2025:
Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has officially become the world’s first billionaire footballer, marking a historic milestone in global sports and business.
According to reports from international financial outlets, Ronaldo’s combined earnings from club contracts, endorsements, business ventures, and investments have pushed his net worth past the $1 billion mark.
The Portuguese icon, currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has long been one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. His brand deals with major companies, including Nike, Clear, and his CR7 fashion line, have significantly contributed to his massive fortune.
Analysts say Ronaldo’s success represents a new era in sports economics — where global athletes can transform their fame into billion-dollar empires through strategic branding and business ventures.
Despite nearing the twilight of his playing career, Ronaldo continues to dominate both on the pitch and in the financial world, setting yet another record in an already legendary career.
