How Did Cristiano Ronaldo Make His Money And Wealth?

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born in Funchal, the sixth largest city in Portugal, on February 5th, 1985. He’s the youngest son of a gardener father and a mother who was a cook. He was raised Catholic, and Ronaldo has said that he was raised in poverty. He started to play soccer as a child, and was signed by the Portuguese team Sporting CP in 1997, when he was only twelve. He joined Sporting’s youth program, and when he was fourteen he decided that he had what it took to make it as a professional soccer player. He and his mother both decided that he should stop focusing on school and instead devote all his energy into becoming the best soccer player possible. At the age of fifteen, he had a surgery to treat a “racing heart,” which could have stopped him from playing soccer altogether. By the age of sixteen, Ronaldo was playing very impressively for Sporting CP. By the age of 18, playing for Sporting’s main team, he had attracted the interest of some of the top teams in the world, including Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Manchester United’s coach, Alex Ferguson, said that Ronaldo was one of the most exciting players he had ever seen, and signed the player to his team. His transfer fee to his new team was almost $18 million, which made him the most expensive teenager in the history of soccer. He was somehow the first Portuguese player to ever play for Manchester.

Cristiano Ronaldo was impressive from his first performance with Manchester United, and scored his first goal for team off a free kick a few months later. After constantly improving, he had a breakout year in 2006-2007, scoring twenty goals and winning a league title with Manchester United. In 2007, he started racking up various “player of the year” type awards, and had his salary increased to around $170 000 a week in an extension of his contract with Manchester United. He was a runner up for the European Footballer of the Year award along with Lionel Messi, the second highest paid soccer player. This would begin a good spirited rivalry between the two, who are widely considered to be the two best soccer players in the world and who are said to inspire each other to constantly improve.

Before the 2009-2010 season started, Cristiano Ronaldo was transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid for $136 million dollars, a record. This was seen as a betrayal by some United fans, and he was welcomed with extreme excitement from fans in Madrid. Since joining Real Madrid, he has consistently improved his game, which some feared he wouldn’t be able to do. Along with Messi, he has lead both the Spanish league and the Champions League in goal scoring nearly every year, and has constantly been in the running for personal honours. He signed a new contract in the 2013-2014 season that made him the highest paid player in the world of soccer, and he currently serves as the captain of the Portuguese national soccer team. He has scored five hundred goals in his career with both his club team and his country. He is the all time leading goal scorer in the history of Real Madrid, as well as the all time leading goal scorer for the Portuguese national team.
