Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has officially become the first billionaire footballer, according to a new valuation by Bloomberg.
Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, which tracks the net worth of the world’s wealthiest individuals, has for the first time listed the 40-year-old Al-Nassr and Portugal captain with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion (£1.04bn).
The financial data firm said Ronaldo’s fortune comes from a combination of career earnings, endorsements, and investments, making him the richest football player in history.
Bloomberg’s analysis shows that Ronaldo earned more than $550 million (£410million) in salaries between 2002 and 2023, spanning his playing career across Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al-Nassr.
