Football is a sport with a lot of money involved in it. Hence, the players at the very top of their game earn staggering amounts of money. Cristiano Ronaldo is the perfect example of this as the forward ranks among the top five richest athletes in the world.
The Portuguese forward is currently playing for Manchester United at 37. He is the club’s top scorer this season and has put in several mind-blowing performances that defy his age. Therefore, the wages that he is being paid are justifiable.
Most recently, it was his hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League which reminded people of his class. Ronaldo scored three goals that sealed a vital 3-2 win for United and kept their hopes of securing a spot in the top-four alive.
