Ronaldo’s numbers at Al Nassr are out of this world

The captain of Portugal made a stunning comeback to the Premier League in 2021 and has a variety of business endeavors and partnerships.

Cristiano Ronaldo may have left Manchester United for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, leaving the bright lights of European football behind, but the Portugal star is still one of the highest-paid athletes in all of sports.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner not only earns a ton of money through his playing contract, but he also has numerous sponsorship agreements and businesses in a range of different sectors.

But how much is Cristiano Ronaldo worth right now? It’s hard to predict for sure, but one thing is certain: He will continue to rank among the highest-paid athletes in the world for some time to come.

Ronaldo’s Approximate Net Worth

The estimated net worth of Ronaldo is $500 million (£363 million), yet no one, except from his management business, can legitimately claim to have a crystal-clear understanding of what Ronaldo is worth.

Even though Messi, a longtime competitor, has recently landed more lucrative contracts, Ronaldo’s projected net worth is marginally more than that of the Argentine. Ronaldo should maintain his lead thanks in part to the lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.

With earnings of $115 million (£93 million), which were a decrease of $5 million from the previous year, Ronaldo was rated third in Forbes’ 2022 list of the best paid athletes in the world.

The NBA legend LeBron James, who came in second, and Messi, who came in first, were ahead of Portugal’s captain. He beat out players like Roger Federer, Steph Curry, Neymar, and Kevin Durant.

How much money does Cristiano Ronaldo make?

According to reports, Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr guarantees a salary of $215 million (£177 million) every year. That amounts to about $4.1 million (£3.4 million) per week.

The contract with his new club is a significant boost over the salary he received at Manchester United, where it is believed he received £20 million ($27 million) annually. That sum represented a huge pay drop from his Juventus salary of €30 million ($34 million/£26 million) at the time, but the Al-Nassr contract has more than made up for it.

Ronaldo had a deal with Real Madrid that reportedly paid him roughly £365,000 a week before bonuses when he left for Juventus in November 2016.

The contract earnings of Portugal’s captain place him among the highest-paid footballers in the world.

According to stated Al-Nassr salaries.

What endorsement agreements does Cristiano Ronaldo hold?

The biggest sponsorship agreement for Ronaldo is with Nike, which was extended at the same time he extended his previous Madrid contract.

The deal with Nike is reportedly the second lifetime contract the apparel behemoth has granted, following its offer to three-time NBA champion LeBron James on comparable terms. The deal with the Los Angeles Lakers legend is rumored to be worth more than $1 billion overall, though the breakdown per year is not disclosed.

Many have naturally concluded that Ronaldo signed on a similar basis. The $1 billion number may seem astounding, but sponsorship researchers Hookit calculated that Ronaldo’s social media presence alone was worth an astounding $474 million to Nike in 2016.

Ronaldo has sponsorship agreements with brands like Armani, Tag Heuer, Egyptian Steel, Herbalife, Italia Independent, Clear, PokerStars, and Castrol in addition to Nike.

LiveScore, MEO, ZujuGP, Uniecampus, Therabody, and Clear are more recent partnerships.

What companies is Cristiano Ronaldo a part of?

Along with promoting a number of well-known global brands, Ronaldo has also developed his own under the CR7 moniker. His underwear line is the main focus, but it has expanded to encompass other clothes, leisure, and home goods.

Additionally, Ronaldo owns a number of Pestana CR7 hotels in Portugal, including one in the nation’s capital, Lisbon, and another in Funchal, the island of Madeira, where he was born. In addition to Madrid, New York, and Marrakech, Pestana CR7 has hotels. In a cooperation with US health company Crunch, he entered the gym business before the end of 2016, opening the first location under the moniker “CR7 Fitness” in Madrid.

Ronaldo opened the Insparya hair transplant clinic in Spain in March 2019. At the opening, Ronaldo declared, “This project is going to be a success, as we want to support the Spaniards and the Spanish economy.”

As his playing days come to an end, expect to see the seasoned star grow even further into these fields. Michael Jordan is proof that the best players’ names continue to be valuable long after they have retired.

The Charities Ronaldo Sponsors

It would be incorrect to claim that Ronaldo does not try to use some of his wealth for the greater good; in fact, Dosomething.org named him the world’s most generous sports celebrity in 2015.

The website praised Ronaldo for using his fame to support a number of causes, including childhood obesity, hunger, and biodiversity. It highlighted his $83,000 donation to a 10-year-old fan in need of brain surgery as well as his $165,000 gift to a cancer hospital in Portugal that treated his mother.

It was revealed following the 2016 Champions League final that the former Manchester United player had told his agent Jorge Mendes to give his €600,000 win bonus to an NGO. Ronaldo has previously backed organizations like UNICEF, World Vision, and Save the Children.

Ronaldo donated what Save the Children termed as a “generous” donation to their cause in 2016 and recorded a message for the children impacted by the crisis in Syria.

In order to help a new generation of young footballers polish their talents, Ronaldo worked with Nike in 2021 to repair an old football field in his hometown of Funchal. 24 scholarships to the eCampus Universita were financed by the Portuguese in the same year.
