Cristiano Ronaldo just scored a major milestone.
Indeed, the athlete has made history as the first soccer player to achieve billionaire status, in part due to his two-year contract with Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr FC that is worth $400 million in tax free earnings, according to Bloomberg.
With his combined contract and additional opportunities off the field, the outlet reported that Ronaldo’s exact earnings are $1.4 billion.
Prior to joining the Saudi Pro League in 2023, the Portuguese soccer star regularly ranked as one of the highest paid athletes during his time playing for Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Off the field, Ronaldo, 40, has a 10-year endorsement deal with Nike estimated at $18 million, along with Armani and his real estate partnership with his CR7 brand, per Bloomberg.
Of course, Ronaldo recently put his wealth and love on display when he popped the question to his longtime love Georgina Rodríguez.
“Yes, I do,” the 31-year-old wrote on Instagram Aug. 11 alongside a photo of her putting the enormous rock on display. “In this and all my lives.”

Rodriguez — who shares 8-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo, daughters Alana, 7, and Bella, 3, as well as Bella’s twin brother who died in 2022, with Ronaldo — gave the world a closer look at the sparkler as she stepped out solo for the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner in New York City Sept. 11 and put the enormous square-cut sparkler on display as she posed on the red carpet in a chic form-fitting dress.
As for her lifestyle at home with the soccer star, Rodriguez previously shared how Ronaldo — also dad to Cristiano Jr., 15, from a previous relationship — introduced her into his extravagant world at the start of their relationship in 2017.

I mean people couldn’t believe it.”
