A judge ordered Ronaldinho's passport to be booked for $ 2 million in debt, while authorities found his account at just $ 7.
Ronaldinho and his brother were fined for illegal construction in a protected area, but mortgaging their property was not enough to repay debt accumulated over four years of judicial conflict.
However, Ronaldinho's lifestyle does not reflect the figure in his calculations, as he has traveled to China and Japan for propaganda reasons over the past few weeks.
More recently, he has been a great Brazilian star in various countries in Europe and Africa, and Nike has launched a sneakers collection in his name, which is very lucrative, according to the judge.
On 17 November, Ronaldinho will play against the friendly "game of heroes" in Frankfurt, Germany.
