Cristiano Ronaldo's Net Worth Surpasses $1 Billion After Al-Nassr Contract Extension
Cristiano Ronaldo, the European champion of 2016 and two-time winner of the UEFA Nations League with the Portuguese national team, has officially become one of the very few billionaire footballers globally. His net worth, estimated at around $1 billion in 2025, is primarily due to his record-breaking contract with the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, worth a staggering $700 million.
This lucrative deal, which includes a $33.6 million signing bonus, performance bonuses, private jet perks, a 15% ownership stake in the club, and lucrative sponsorship deals with Saudi brands generating about $82.4 million annually, has significantly boosted Ronaldo's wealth[1][3]. While some sources, such as Forbes, cite a net worth closer to $275 million, this figure likely accounts for net liquid assets excluding the extensive earnings and brand value from contracts and endorsements, which collectively push Ronaldo's net worth to the billionaire mark[2].
His wealth is further enhanced by lifetime endorsement deals with Nike, Herbalife, and other luxury brands, as well as his CR7 product lines, real estate investments, and social media influence[3].
Meanwhile, Ronaldo's long-term partner, Georgina Rodriguez, has announced her engagement. The couple, who have been together since 2016, shares five children: Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo (from a surrogate mother), and two daughters - Alana Martin and Bella Esmeralda[4].
The exact date of the engagement is not specified, but Rodriguez made the announcement with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a diamond ring. In the caption, she wrote, "Yes, I do. In this life and all my lives." However, the post was recognized as extremist and banned in Russia due to the ownership of the network by Meta[5].
The new contract with Al-Nassr was a topic of discussion on the "RBC Sport" Telegram channel, but further details about the Saudi footballer, who is also Ronaldo's fiance, have not been disclosed.
