Cristiano Ronaldo's YouTube earnings are mind-blowing! Is he the ultimate sports entrepreneur of our time?

Not so long ago, just last year, Cristiano Ronaldo boasted a net worth of $500 million. The 5x Ballon d’Or winner’s wealth has now surged by $100 million, thanks to his fitness app, Whoop collaboration, an endorsement deal with Binance, and so on. Now, Ronaldo’s record-breaking YouTube channel comes as his latest income stream that could see his financials go north. Ronaldo instantly broke the American influencer Mr. Beast’s record to register the fastest 20 million subscriber count to scale that feat in just 24 hours.

Considering the channel UR Cristiano has attracted 39 million subs at the moment, he could easily have raked in a six-figure sum from his venture by now. Well, YouTube pays creators for generating more views rather than subscribers. With a growing subscriber base, Ronaldo is quite rich in terms of video views as well.

Here’s the breakdown of Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube earnings

Having secured 39 million subs, Cristiano Ronaldo has posted 19 videos so far on his channel UR. Cristiano. Each of those videos are blockbusters, with millions rushing to catch a glimpse of the Al Nassr captain’s personal life. At the time of writing, Ronaldo’s YouTube channel had 177,007,767  views altogether. YouTube reportedly pays close to $6 per 1,000 views. So one could make between $1,200 and $6,000 per one million views.

So in Ronaldo’s case, accounting for ad revenue and signed sponsorships, he could by now be making north of $100 million from YouTube alone. Speak of quick money! It’d be quite crazy to now watch Ronaldo’s ever-increasing earnings climb to new highs solely because of YouTube. CR7 has indeed been amassing subs way better than the most subscribed YouTuber Mr. Beast. But he has a long way to go to match the American content creator’s view count and overall subscriber count. Let’s see how Ronaldo and Mr. Beast’s views and subs compare.

How many views will it take Cristiano Ronaldo to beat Mr.Beast’s monthly view count?

Seems like another Mr.Beast YouTube record is in jeopardy, courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo. The American YouTuber tallies around 400 million views every month. Since Ronaldo has attracted more than 177 million views in the three days, we could see his view count surge above 400 million within a week. Mr. Beast reportedly earns $ 5 million every month solely on ad revenue. Soon enough, that feat too would be oblivious, as CR7’s ad revenues could be unmatched. Indeed, who wouldn’t want to advertise on the Portuguese sensation’s platform?

What’s your perspective on:
