according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which has valued Cristiano Ronaldo net worth at an estimated $1.4bn, wow I was shock hearing this News but not that surprised seeing that it was Cristiano Ronaldo.
This is a great achievement for Cristiano Ronaldo he has made another history again, he is not ready to retire soon his still very much strong and so he will continue playing and making more money for himself and family.
His a very good player and it is only a good and wonderful player that can achieve this.

Renaldo is a global football star and before his major jackpot in the suadi club side, the pro league's and signed to one of the top clubs in the suadi Arabia league's Al Nassr and his positive record and success of the club in the last few seasons, alot is expected to play out in the positive for Renaldo in term of salaries and net-worth, so i am nkt surprised to see that Christiano Ronaldo have amassed a 1.4 billion dollar's networth this figure will increase significantly in the next season.

Ronaldo is not the first football billionaire. Faiq Bolkiah has been a billionaire footballer for quite some time now. He's worth $20 billion dollars through his inheritance. Faiq Bolkiah professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ratchaburi in Thai League 1. Faiq Bolkiah is the son of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, the nephew to the current Sultan of Brunei. This family own Brunei natural resources that deals on oil and gas.

However, his wealth was not from football. Ronaldo made his wealth strictly from football. Ronaldo is number two richest footballer currently.

He is the first true footballer. Imagine if Elon Musk says that he will become a tennis player, a football player, a rugby player, and a basketball player. He will become the first billionaire player of all the sports? Of course this is not the case.

And faiq bolkiah is of the royal family so a its very much easier to become a player for the brunei national team without deserving. While Cristiano Ronaldo became rich because of how good he is.

This is the advantage of playing in the Saudi league. If Messi had probably also gone to the Saudi league, they would also be saying that he is a billionaire or close to becoming a billionaire. The Saudis pay many millions of dollars to players like Ronaldo, and to Messi if it were the Saudi league. I think this is not big news; in fact, it is something that was expected. Ronaldo has always been very visionary and hard-working when it comes to his career. Even though he is in the Saudi league, he works as hard as if he were playing in some European league. This guy deserves every penny he earns.

Congratulations to him, a deserving one I must say, he has been able to prove that as an athlete, there's so much you can achieve beyond the medals and trophies. He continues to raise the bar high up there such that players will begin to understand that they can do more even outside the pitch because I do not want to believe that his net worth is just football alone, there will be other personal things he definitely does. Congratulations to him and we hope that his legacy becomes one that others look forward to achieving.

Most of the players in the Saudi league got massive payments with high salaries and a lot of attractive bonuses that keep the players motivated at all time, before he moved to that club he gave already calculated his future and how his status could change faster compared to if he remains in the European league, he would have being facing the same challenges that he faced with manager at Manchester United before he moved to Al Nassr Messi is one player that Saudi clubs have been eyeing and they are willing to pay alot to have him over.

I would have guessed there were several football star player who were already billionaries, for example, Leonel Messi... But it seems we are talking about football players who are strictly getting all their money from their contracts with their respective clubs. Keeping that in mind, then it would be fair to say Ronaldo has managed to make history, good for him. Though, I would have expected these football players to make more money than than out of other sources, like advertising and sponsorship.

One learns someone new with everyday that comes and goes.

If Messi were also playing in the Saudi League, the spotlight and economic value would be just as significant, but Ronaldo still holds the role of trendsetter, a star player who dared to step out of Europe's comfort zone and demonstrate that football is not just about achievements, but also influence and long term vision. Ronaldo joined a league that had not yet gained significant global exposure, and he brought international media, sponsors, and even changed the world's perception of football in the Middle East. Ronaldo became a pioneer, paving the way for other stars like Benzema and Neymar to play there. Today, Middle Eastern football is more advanced and better known worldwide.

Being a billionaire is no longer extremeley rare. And the measurement is done in terms of fiat currency. Value of the fiat currency is going down so much that a lot of people have suddenly become wealthy on paper (but not in reality). For example, 25 years ago, price of gold was $400 per ounce. Now it is $4,030 per ounce. The price went up by 10 times, w.r.t. the US Dollar. Actually it is not that the price is going up. The value of USD actually went down, and it gives an impression that the gold price went up.

[Asiska02]

This may sound surprising to me because I never thought that he isn’t a billionaire until I saw the news flying around that he’s one now. The football career has paid him a lot and going to play in the Saudi Arabian league has boosted his earnings more than ever. It is now a place that every player that has reached the peak of their career also wants to try out, like a retirement saving plan deal playing there. The money there is contagious, but not all players will still want to play there. Ronaldo deserves those money and this is a player I think even after many years of retirement from football, even players actively playing at that time will not has a new worth like him.

Messi went to Miami to honor his wife's desire to live in the US, also David Beckham had requested that from Messi from a long time ago that he should consider coming over to Inter-miami when his job is done in Europe. I think family comfort influenced Messi's decision and if you notice very well, Messi is having fun there as 3 of his former teammates from Barcelona has joined him there, more like they're doing Barcelona reunion there. It's fun and classy. I believe everything isn't about money.

I congratulate C. Ronaldo for his achievement. It's an evidence that hardwork and desire pays off a lot. He deserves every bit of his achievement because he put in the efforts and has etched his name among the billionaires.

A big congratulations to the man, becoming a billionaire in dollars isn't a child's play, and as much as I really want to reach this level myself and even achieve much more, I sometimes can't help but wonder what those who have managed to achieve this level of financial growth and sufficiency do with all that money 🤑, the feeling is truly amazing and if not for anything, I want to become a billionaire to find answers to my curiosity.

Anyways, congratulations once again to the goat himself, though Messi is really the goat but I am lending it to Cristiano Ronaldo for some time to celebrate his becoming a billionaire, no doubt he's a very good player and he surely deserve everything thing good that he is getting and have got.

This is possible when you are considered the greatest footballer. Surprised that he is the first one to be a billionaire and not Messi. But both are great and have been great assets to whatever team they are playing for. We can consider Ronaldo as the GOAT now. I am sure a lot of other football players will get inspired by him and hope to be a billionaire too. But that billion comes with expertise and popularity.

[crwth]

Wow, it's an amazing feat. I'm not really surprised by this, but it just goes to show that skills can really translate into monetary value as long as you are on the right path. Seizing the right opportunities and being part of the right team. He can still do a lot IMO.

Most important thing in this case is marketing actually. Cristiano was so good, but the difference between him and other good players is that he has one of the strongest names in the sports world and a very strong brand. And with Saudi Arabia wanting to grow as a sports hub to make money even after the oil stops folowing, they paid for the biggest football name to get the spotlights.

Just to be good they wouldn't pay so much to him, what matters is the name and the fame of one of the best players of the decade which was Messi's rival for so long and a star player in real madrid which is one of the biggest teams in the world, with so many fans from other countries and regions.

Yes are right that he is not the richest or first billionaires but this Faiq Bolkiah case looks different since his wealth didn't come from football but his family inheritance, Cristiano Ronaldo has put a hard work and dedication in football to be at were he is now so i consider him to be the richest footballer he will still be accumulating wealth and breaking and setting more records.

[Kelward]

Congratulations to Christiano Ronaldo, he deserves to be a billionaire athlete because he is an exceptionally talented footballer, I wish him the very best on this latest achievement. Saudi Arabia, is an oil rich country and they can afford to pay a star player like him extravagantly and that is why he can achieve this milestone above other top athletes. It'll be an encouragement for other athletes to be exceptional and play in moneybag clubs that can afford to pay them extravagantly like Ronaldo.

1.4 billion dollars is such an enormous amount! In my opinion, he definitely deserves it, and he really worked hard for it. It's just amazing because you wouldn't expect that an athlete player in football would have that kind of wealth in this day and age.

It's likely that even more sponsors will approach him because they want to take advantage of the popularity he has right now, and because of the sheer number of people who support him,
not just his team, but as one of the star players of the squad he represents.

[JeffBrad12]

It's amazing to see him reach 1.4B just for kicking football. However, I feel Ronaldo's 1.4B sounds small if we remember it very well how he's been playing for over two decades. he's also always being a sport player with the highest wage. He also did so many advertisement and have many investment. I think that his net work may be more than it something like close to the 2B, maybe.
