Cristiano Ronaldo still setting records: the Portuguese’s earnings are mind-blowing. Surpassed Messi in this special ranking
A new record. This time also certified by the agency that knows about world records, as it is the one that certifies them. Cristiano Ronaldo is the one who earned the most, among sportsmen, in 2023. A lot of money, incredible numbers, which make him truly unique.
Overtaking Leo Messi, who managed to take this sceptre last year, and of course his move to Al Nassr, Saudi Arabia, definitely made a difference in all this. But how much did Ronaldo earn in the period between May 2002 and April this year? Yes, because that is the scissor, which then doesn’t even put all the emphasis on what he is going to get in this second part of the calendar year there, in Saudi Arabia. Do you have any idea how much CR7 has put in his pocket? Yes, then say it in your head, or even out loud, as you wish, below is the solution.
Cristiano Ronaldo, that’s how much he made
136 million dollars (approximately 121 million euros). Ronaldo’s record-breaking income is made up of $46 million in on-field earnings and $90 million in off-field earnings
Messi
On-field earnings include salaries, prizes and bonuses, while off-field earnings are an estimate of sponsorship deals, appearance fees, memorabilia and licensing revenue, as well as earnings from any activity in which the athlete has a significant interest. In all this, we do not know if social media is also involved, but we assume it is, the ones that allow the Portuguese champion to be the undisputed king of this special ranking. His move to the Saudi Pro League, moreover, has practically opened up a world, that of other footballers like him who have decided to embrace the Arab league that next year could certainly be one of the most followed. Certainly his challenge against Benzema, taken by the rival team, will be followed. And certainly what could be his relationship with Brozovic, who still hasn’t signed due to some quibble with the club, but who will soon officially become his teammate, will also be followed. Unbelievable.
