Despite another year without lifting a trophy after Al Hilal secured the Saudi Pro League title last week, Cristiano Ronaldo remains content with his impressive financial achievements.
Forbes has once again named Ronaldo as the highest-paid athlete globally, marking the Portuguese superstar's fourth time reaching the pinnacle of their annual list. This accomplishment is attributed to his lucrative move to Al Nassr, which has significantly boosted his earnings. Forbes estimates Ronaldo's total income for the year to be an astonishing $260 million, setting a new benchmark for footballers.
Breaking down his earnings, Ronaldo made $200 million from on-field activities, while his off-field income soared to $60 million. This substantial off-field revenue is largely driven by high-profile sponsorship deals that capitalize on his massive Instagram following of 629 million fans.
