Overview
- Cristiano Ronaldo entered the Bloomberg Billionaires Index for the first time with an estimated $1.4 billion net worth.
- His June 2025 Al-Nassr extension is reported at more than $400 million, building on a 2023 move that made him the highest-paid player with roughly $200 million a year tax-free, bonuses, and a reported 15% club stake.
- Bloomberg estimates more than $550 million in salary from 2002–2023, plus a decade-long Nike deal near $18 million annually and other endorsements adding over $175 million.
- The valuation places Ronaldo among a small group of athlete billionaires that includes Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Tiger Woods and Roger Federer.
- Ronaldo remains active and recently said he has no plans to retire soon, while comparisons note Lionel Messi’s career salary above $600 million and a reported future Inter Miami stake.
