Who became the first billionaire player in football history?

The legendary forward of Al-Nassr and the Portugal national team, Cristiano Ronaldo, has become the first billionaire player in football history. The 40-year-old player's net worth is estimated at 1.4 billion USD.

Bloomberg assessed the wealth of Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo and included him in its "Bloomberg Billionaires Index."

The stated amount includes money from sponsorship contracts, salary at the club, and income from commercial activities. Ronaldo has been playing for Al-Nassr since 2023. Under the new contract that the star forward signed last summer, he earns over 400 million euros per year.

He has played 111 matches for the Saudi Arabian team and scored 98 goals. In total, the winger has 1,060 games and 799 goals at the highest level.
