Argentine star Lionel Messi has snatched the top of the list of the highest paid footballers from Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who dominated them in recent years.
The Madeira rocket, which earned $ 125 million in 2019 alone, came in second place, $ 17 million behind the Bulga.
But how much is the wealth of this spherical rocket?
Ronaldo's fortune is estimated at $ 450 million to be one of the richest athletes in the world. Since 2009, he has earned an average of $ 90 million a year.
This amount comes from his monthly salary, nationals and advertising contracts, which makes him buy the most expensive homes, cars and yachts.
But the Madeira rocket knows how to invest its money and learn a lesson from its predecessors who went bankrupt after leaving the green rectangle.He heads the boards of several companies that run hotels, a museum in his name, a line of perfumes, garments and interior, and named after an airport in Portugal.
He has become one of the best players in the world and continues in the first level of football.
