Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese football icon now playing for the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, recently sparked public interest during an interview with journalist Pierce Morgan. In their conversation, the topic of Ronaldo's financial situation arose, focusing on his status as a “billionaire footballer.”
– Cristiano, is it true that you officially became a billionaire in the last week?
Ronaldo responded with a smile:
– No, that's not news. I became a billionaire a long time ago – a few years ago.
The journalist asked again in surprise:
“Really?”
Ronaldo explained, saying, “- Of course, I reached this milestone at 39. I know my financial situation well, I follow every step. This is my life, the money earned by my labor. That's why every detail about him is important to me.”
The football star mentioned he is surrounded by a team of skilled professionals who interact with his financial advisor almost every day, discussing investment opportunities.
– I was very happy when I felt that I had reached a billion. It felt like winning the Ballon d'Or. Every person has their own purpose in life. Some dream of building a house, others of buying a new car. My dream was to reach that number,” added the star player.
The journalist continued:
– So, your main goal was to reach a billion?
Ronaldo said:
– Yes, it was my personal motive. But I'm not a money-hungry person. Finance is important, but there comes a time in a person's life when spirituality takes precedence over these things. We are human – we are never fully satisfied with what we have.
In recent years, Cristiano Ronaldo has excelled not only in football but also in business. His global brand, hotel chain, and revenues from investments bolster his standing as one of the world's top-earning athletes.
