Ronaldo’s net worth
Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese football star, is worth around PS25 million. This is more than the combined income of Norwich, Leeds and Brentford. Ronaldo also owns CR7, his trademark brand that focuses on men’s underwear and toiletries. According to Financial Express, the brand’s value may exceed EUR100 million by 2021. Apart from his personal brand, Ronaldo also owns a seven-storey mansion in his hometown Funchal. The mansion was built after Ronaldo purchased a warehouse in Funchal, Portugal for an undisclosed sum. CR7 fitness, a gym owned by Ronaldo, is another venture.
Ronaldo also earns millions from endorsement deals. His lifetime contract with Nike is estimated to be worth $1 billion. Ronaldo also has endorsement deals with PokerStars, Egyptian Steel, Castrol, Tag Heuer, and Herbalife. According to reports, he makes approximately $120 million annually from these endorsement deals. In addition to his professional soccer career, Ronaldo has many other lucrative businesses and has a net worth of over $1 billion.
Despite earning more than half a billion dollars, Ronaldo is still far from the richest footballer. He is currently earning PS480,000 a week at Manchester United and is estimated to have a net worth of at least $500 million by 2022. This includes his salary from his lucrative contract at Manchester United and his commercial income from Nike. And he hasn’t been all about football. He has also been a successful philanthropist.
Lionel Messi’s record for winning the Ballon d’Or
After claiming the award seven times, Argentine striker Lionel Messi is now the most decorated player in Ballon d’Or history. He won the trophy on his seventh attempt, beating Robert Lewandowski, N’Golo Kante, and Jorginho to claim the prize in Paris. Messi’s winning streak of the Ballon d’Or is continuing with his latest accomplishment, a Copa del Rey win for Barcelona.
He has a record that no other player has broken in Ballon d’Or history. Messi won seven times the award, breaking the previous record set by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward had won the Ballon d’Or three times before, but he ended that streak in 2015 by winning it again. He won his sixth Ballon d’Or the next year, tying Cristiano’s record for five Ballon d’Ors.
Messi is the youngest Ballon d’Or recipient ever. His record of winning the award is a testimony to his consistency. He has won the award seven consecutive times, most recently in Qatar in 2011.
With this achievement, Messi can add another trophy to his collection – the European Championship and the Champions League. Lewandowski has a rich story to tell about his quest for the title. Messi’s trophy is as heavy as an international football trophy, and it is worth more discussion than the weather. With a few more awards to come, Messi’s record will be hard to match.
While Ronaldo and Messi both have five titles, the two oldest winners in the millennium have been Cristiano Ronaldo and Jean-Pierre Papin. But both players haven’t won the Ballon d’Or since 2016.
Ronaldo’s golden boot
Cristiano Ronaldo’s amazing goalscoring exploits for Real Madrid in 2014-15 have earned him the title of European Golden Boot and the La Liga Golden Boot. He ended the season with the most goals in any domestic league in Europe, with 48. While this isn’t an all-time high, it does mean that he’s now worth more than his previous record, which is around PS30 million.
The Portuguese star is currently earning PS72m, making him the most valuable footballer in history. He has won 24 team honours, and hopes to win 25 at the Club World Cup. He won three Premier League titles in Manchester United, two Champions Leagues at Real Madrid, and four UEFA Super Cups. How much is Cristiano’s golden boot worth to you?
The Portuguese superstar has a massive networth, with a recent Forbes list listing him at third place. His career began at Manchester United, where he was the most expensive signing for a teenager. Ronaldo surpassed the 20-goal barrier in England, and became the first player to do so. He also helped the club win its first championship in four years. With his golden boot, he’s now worth more than PS250 million.
The golden boot of Cristiano Ronaldo is worth more than his gold-medal, as he won it five times. However, it’s not just about the gold medal. He also won the European Golden Boot in 1997. His extraordinary talent and hard work are evident in the Golden Boot. It’s hard to measure the importance of Ronaldo’s golden boot. And while the monetary value of the trophy may be high, it will likely never go up in value.
Robert Lewandowski’s win of the Ballon d’Or
Robert Lewandowski’s impressive list of accolades this season is truly remarkable. He is the only player to win a treble, which includes a national title and a domestic cup. In all three competitions, he is the top goal scorer. He also won the world footballer of the year award. Whether Lewandowski wins the Ballon d’Or is anyone’s guess.
It would have been more fitting for the prolific Poland international to win the award in 2018 but the pandemic that affected the World Cup in Russia last year overshadowed the ceremony. Lewandowski was considered a favourite for the Ballon d’Or, but his chances of winning a trophy were greatly diminished by the absence of votes. However, it’s still possible he won the award in 2020.
While the controversy has overshadowed the Ballon d’Or, many fans believe that it’s time for Lewandowski to receive some recognition. Last year, Lewandowski was second, but that changed when the ball was canceled due to the pandemic. In addition to winning the Ballon d’Or this season, the Polish international won the best striker award and the FIFA the Best award in 2021.
Despite his young age, Robert Lewandowski has maintained his impressive form throughout his career. His career has reached a new level. He’s been a world-class player for many years. If he can keep up the same form, he’ll be a world-class player for years to come. He’ll be a huge success if he can continue this amazing run.
The voting system for the Ballon d’Or
The Ballons d’Or award is given to the best football player in the world. It is co-organized by Fifa and France Football and the winner is chosen by a jury of international journalists. The number of votes received by the player for the title in first, second, or third place determines the list of nominees. A new ballot is created if a player is tied in first place. The France Football editorial director is appointed as chairman of the jury. Messi has been awarded the most recent Ballons d’Or. Ronaldo, his rival, has won five.
The Ballon d’Or is awarded for individual performance and collective performances throughout the year. Voting takes place by a jury of 180 journalists from various footballing nations. The jury ranks the players according to their merit. The player with the most votes from members of the jury determines the winner. The Ballon d’Or is the most prestigious award in football, and its coveted status is one of football’s highest.
France Football, which sponsors the Ballon d’Or has announced recently that it is looking at changing its voting system. This change is intended to ensure that the award is more objective and fair. France Football will also try to provide a reason for each case. This will mean that the Ballon d’Or is more based on individual performance and a player’s “class” rather than his career.
The Ballon d’Or will be awarded based upon the regular European season, instead of the calendar year. This will reduce the number of voters. Since 1956, the France Football magazine has given the men’s Ballon d’Or. Since 2018, the women’s Ballon d’Or is being awarded each year.
