Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram for a reason: he’s a star both on and off the field.
With 535 million and counting followers on the social media platform, he is in a league of his own. His partner, Georgina Rodriguez, has 44.9 million followers, which makes him look like a nobody.

Even so, the two of them have built a life together outside of football that most people can only dream of. However, their open use of social media makes things a lot easier to understand.
Now that he lives in Saudi Arabia, things are set to go to a whole new level. Reports say that the contract he just signed with Al-Nassr makes him the highest-paid athlete in the world.
With a rumored salary of £173 million per year, that’s £3.6 million per week, $514,000 per day, and $21,000 per hour.
With Ronaldo’s high-class lifestyle, it’s hard to guess what’s next for him, but even though he’s only been in the Middle East for a month, there are already some clues.
So far, Ronaldo has been staying with his partner and five children at the Four Seasons Kingdom Hotel.
The 37-year-current old’s place is on two floors, has 17 rooms, and is just under 4,000 square feet. It’s not cheap.
Reports say that he will pay £250,000 per month to stay in Riyadh’s best hotel, which isn’t too much given that he makes $14.4 million per month. Reports in Spain say that they will soon move into a £10,5 million mansion.
And that’s just from football. The Portuguese and his Argentine-Spanish partner are also pretty good at business.
Ronaldo has been an elite football player and entrepreneur for a long time. He owns hotels, gyms, perfumes, clothing lines, and even an app that lets fans take virtual selfies with him.
But he and Georgina have one business that has done better than the rest: hair transplantation.
The business started in Madrid in 2019, and has since grown to many other places in Spain, Portugal, and Italy.
Now, the Insparya brand is opening in Barcelona, which is home to his old LaLiga rivals. This means that his income has gone up in more ways than just football.
For the first time since 2008, Kylian Mbappe moved ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on the Forbes list of the world’s richest footballers in 2022. However, Ronaldo’s new contract means that Mbappe’s time at the top will be short-lived.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s huge wealth has given him the chance to spend some of his money on some of the nicer things in life.
He has a crazy collection of cars that is said to be worth more than £18 million and has a lot of rare cars in his garage.
Ronaldo likes to reward himself when he does well on the field, which, as you can imagine, is often.
He is said to have bought a £200,000 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera as a reward for scoring three goals against Spurs.
He also has a Bugatti Centodieci, which is one of only ten ever made and costs £8.5 million. He also has a Bugatti Chiron, a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, and a few Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce cars.
His girlfriend, Georgina, gave him a white Rolls-Royce worth £250,000 for Christmas.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner also has a jaw-dropping real estate portfolio with homes in Spain, Portugal, and Italy that is worth around £43 million.
Ronaldo has also put money into his CR7 hotel chain, which has five places for people to stay.
One is in New York’s Times Square, another is in Marrakech, one is in Madrid, and two are in Portugal.
And money came up again before he played for the Riyadh All-Stars against PSG in a big game. A Saudi businessman is said to have paid £2 million for a ticket that lets him meet both Ronaldo and Messi.
But even though he buys a lot of expensive things, he doesn’t just spend on himself and his family.
Ronaldo always gives a lot of money to charity. He has given tens of millions of dollars to groups like the Red Cross, Make-A-Wish, and Save The Children. He is also a Unicef ambassador.
