Bloomberg revealed that Ronaldo has earned more than $550 million in salary across his career, with his endorsements boosting his financial empire. His long-term partnership with Nike alone brought him nearly $18 million annually for a decade.

When he joined Al-Nassr in 2022, Ronaldo became the highest-paid footballer in the world, securing an annual salary of £177 million. His recent contract extension will keep him in Saudi Arabia until after his 42nd birthday, with reports suggesting it is worth more than $400 million.

Meanwhile, his long-time rival Lionel Messi has earned over $600 million in pre-tax salary throughout his career. Since joining Inter Miami in 2023, Messi reportedly earns around $20 million annually, only a fraction of Ronaldo’s income during the same period.
