Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first football player to join the list of billion dollars, after he got a lot of money in 17 years, since the beginning of his professional career with Sporting Lisbon in 2002.
The Forbes Council reported that the Italian Juventus player received $ 650 million in salary from his clubs, and he is expected to reach $ 765 million at the end of his contract with the "old lady" in June 2022.
The Portuguese player has earned more money than arch-rivals Messi, who has earned $ 605 million in salary from Barcelona, since 2005.
