There’s a reason why Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram – he’s not just box office on the pitch, but off it too. 

With 535 million followers and counting on the social media platform, he’s in a league of his own, making his partner Georgina Rodriguez’s whopping 44.9m look rather miserly.

Despite that, the two have combined for a lifestyle outside of football few can even dream of, but their rather open use of social media makes things far more accessible.

Now living in Saudi Arabia, things are on course to be taken to a whole new level, with multiple reports claiming his recently-signed contract with Al-Nassr makes him the highest-paid athlete in the world.

On a reported salary of £173m per-year, that works out at £3.6m per-week, £514,000 per-day, and £21,000 per-hour.

It’s hard to imagine what’s next for Ronaldo with such a luxurious lifestyle, but there’s already been some insight despite living in the Middle East for less than a month.

During his stay so far, Ronaldo has been living in the Four Seasons Kingdom Hotel with his partner and five children.

Taking up two floors and 17 rooms equating to just under 4,000 square feet, the 37-year-old’s current accommodation doesn’t come cheap.

Reports claim he will be paying £250,000 per-month for the stay in Riyadh’s finest, which isn’t too much considering his £14.4m per-month incomings. They will later move into a £10.5m mansion, according to reports in Spain.

And that’s just from football, with the Portuguese and his Argentine-Spanish partner rather handy when it comes to business.

For years Ronaldo has been combining being an elite football player with an elite entrepreneur, owning businesses that include hotels, gyms, perfumes, fashion, and even an app that allowed fans to take virtual selfies with him.

He and Georgina have one venture that’s taken off more than any other, though, and that’s hair transplantation.

Kicking off in Madrid in 2019, the business has since expanded to numerous locations in Spain, Portugal and Italy.

Now the Insparya brand is opening in Barcelona, in the home of his former LaLiga rivals, meaning it’s not only his incomings from football that have shot up.

Forbes rankings of the world’s richest footballers in 2022 saw Kylian Mbappe shift Ronaldo and Lionel Messi off of top spot for the first time since 2008, but his spell was undoubtedly short-lived given Ronaldo’s new contract.

With exorbitant wealth, it has afforded the opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo to spend his money on a few of the finer things in life.

He boasts an insane car collection said to be worth more than £18m and has many rare vehicles in his garage.

Ronaldo likes to treat himself whenever he does well on the pitch, and as you can image that happens fairly regularly.

He reportedly celebrated that trio of goals against Spurs by splashing out on a £200,000 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera.

He also boasts a limited edition £8.5m Bugatti Centodieci in his collection – one of only ten to have ever been made – as well as a Bugatti Chiron, Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, plus a few Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce motors.

His partner, Georgina, added to the collection at Christmas by gifting him a £250,000 white Rolls-Royce.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner also boasts a jaw-dropping property portfolio estimated to be valued in the region of £43m, that includes homes across Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

Ronaldo has also invested in his CR7 hotel chain, with five currently available for holidaymakers to stay in.

There is one in Times Square in New York, another in Marrakech, one in Madrid and then two in Portugal.

And money was on the agenda again ahead of his appearance for the Riyadh All-Stars in their glamour game against PSG, with a Saudi businessman said to have paid £2m for a ticket that includes meeting Ronaldo and rival Lionel Messi.
