Cristiano Ronaldo has faced difficulties in the last several years on the field with Portugal and Manchester United. However, the Al Nassr star has ensured he does not let those issues affect his image off the field.

There is no doubt that his recent success with the Knights of Najd in Saudi Arabia has played a tremendous part. Let’s take a look at how the Portuguese forward continues to grow his empire.

Despite the several issues in his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has established he has kept the money registers ringing. According to reports, his current Net Worth stands at $600 million. The deep pool of money is a mix of his on and off-the-field earnings. Speaking of his on-field earnings, he earns close to $210 million a year with the Saudi giants. His salary for the Knights of Najd is $75million yearly. The rest of the salary includes money from image rights, commercial agreements, and bonuses. He will also reportedly earn $224 million as an ambassador to Saudi’s bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
His time at Manchester United was also a financial success for him. The 38-year-old, during his second spell with the Red Devils, earned a $23.76m yearly salary, which amounts to wages of $457,200 per week. During his time at Juventus, he also earned $64 million during his four-year contract with the Italian giants. Several reports indicate that should the Portuguese star keep earning at the same rate, he could end up with a net worth of $1 billion when he retires.
There is no doubt that some of the numbers are unreal. However, unsurprisingly, these numbers reach another level with the money he earns during his time away from the soccer field.
