Cristiano Ronaldo supposedly earns £177 million per year from Al Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team, although several years prior to his transfer, he was paid a respectable sum by a Saudi corporation.
Ronaldo made the shocking decision to go to Saudi Arabia in December 2022, and he has since made about £329 million.
In addition to endorsement deals and enterprises, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner also earns money from the recent successful launch of a ‘UR’ YouTube channel.
Ronaldo reportedly makes about £1.6 million for each sponsored post on Instagram.
However, the cost of hiring Ronaldo for a day was revealed in the Football Leaks book a few years ago, which was written by Michael Wulzinger and Rafael Buschmann of Der Spiegel.
The book disclosed that Ronaldo’s Irish image rights company, Multisports & Image Management, entered into a business agreement with Mobily, a Saudi cellular corporation.
According to the contract terms, the company was to have four and a half hours of his time, which included two plugs on his massive social media platforms, five signed Portugal jerseys, and a photo shoot.
Despite being granted permission to utilize every photo shot during the session, Mobily’s options were somewhat restricted because it was decided that the advertising would only be used in the Middle East and North Africa.
Ronaldo and his agents cost the corporation an astounding £920,000 for all of the aforementioned. This is a ridiculous amount, but the individual in question has the most Instagram followers.
Ronaldo broke numerous records with the launch of his YouTube channel, which today has 65 million members.
He has received half a billion views on his 61 videos, and given that you can usually make between $2 and $12 for every 1,000 views, the former Real Madrid shooter must be doing very well.
Ronaldo, who has nine goals this season across all competitions, has a 2025 deal with Al Nassr.
