How did Ronaldino Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on March 21, 1980, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Ronaldinho grew up in the Guaruja section, where he developed an interest in football at a young age. By the time he was eight, it was obvious to those around him that he was naturally talented in the sport. Growing up, his inspirations included Diego Maradona, Rivelino, and Romario. After many years of playing with the youth squad, he made his senior debut at the age of eighteen.
For the next three years, he played with the Gremio squad. From there, he signed a $5.8 million five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain in 2001. During his time with the French team, he scored 17 goals. Despite having received praise for his performance, however, he decided to leave after they had failed to qualify for competition in Europe.
The following season, he was signed to FC Barcelona for $35 million. By 2004, Ronaldinho had won his first league title; not only that but his achievements had earned him his first FIFA World Player of the Year award. After his contract expired in 2008, he accepted a two-year extension with the condition that he’d be able to leave the team if a club were to offer more than $113 million for him.
For the second half of his professional career, he played for a number of teams including the Flamengo, Milan, Queretaro, Atletico Miner, and Fluminense. By the mid-2010’s however, it was obvious that his presence wasn’t as strong as during his prime. Realizing that he was unable to perform as good as he’d wanted, he eventually terminated the deal with Fluminense in 2015.
Following that, he joined a futsal team in India together with Michel Salgado, Paul Scholes, and Ryan Giggs, among a few others. Two games later, he was made the ambassador of the 2016 Summer Paralympic Games, which were held in Rio de Janeiro.
Fast forward to earlier this year, and it was confirmed that he would be retiring from professional football. One of his last games was as a member of the Delhi Dragons with the Premier Futsal League.
