Due to his financial abundance, Ronaldo is considering buying a team to manage as the time for this star to hang up his shoes is getting closer and closer.
According to statistics, the striker has officially achieved the highest income in 2023, with a profit of up to 275 million USD, twice as far as his long-time competitor Lionel Messi.
In 2023, Ronaldo’s income not only comes from his salary at Al Nassr, but the star also earns 60 million USD from advertising contracts with famous brands such as Nike, Herbalife, Armani, Tag Heuer, DAZN and PokerStars.
“Ronaldo has created a competition for supreme power with Messi throughout his career. Although he has fewer Golden Ball titles, Ronaldo already owns a greater fortune than Messi,” commented the British Daily Mail.

According to many sources, Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his intention to buy a major Portuguese team. The club that Ronaldo is paying attention to is most likely Sporting Lisbon, the team where CR7 started his career. Ronaldo’s mother also really wants him to return to play for Sporting Lisbon before deciding to retire.
“Many years ago, I wanted to own a football team,” Ronaldo said at the launch of a drink brand half a year ago. “I am optimistic about this prospect. I have to see how the tournaments and teams will change before deciding to invest.”
Ronaldo added that his football career will end in two to three years. “So I just started thinking about the future and investing. I will work with trustworthy people and find the best strategies,” he added.
