The internationally renowned Cristiano Ronaldo has officially reached billionaire status โ€“ making him the first professional football player and third active athlete to ever do so. Because another title and more money were just what the Portugal/Juventus star was missing in his life.

The #2 highest-paid athlete of last decade (#1 Floyd Mayweather) and 2020 (#1 Roger Federer) has taken home an estimated US$650 million during his 17-year professional career, according to Forbes. The remaining US$350 million has been sourced from outside the pitch โ€“ everything from the virtually endless endorsements to his hotel chain. Yes, Ronaldo has a hotel chain.

It also doesnโ€™t hurt that Ronaldo is the most followed individual on Instagram, boasting of a world best 222 million followers. I dare say a casual sponsored post or two directed to that mammoth audience would fetch a pretty penny. At least from our perspective. At this point, itโ€™s probably pocket change to the big fella himself.

This latest development is yet another reflection of the football talentโ€™s unwavering perseverance and brand power โ€“ both on and off the field. Coming from extremely humble beginnings, Ronaldo has made it his lifeโ€™s work to show the world he deserves everything coming to him, billionaire status included. And we must say, this certainly makes for quite the rags to riches story.
