Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the symbols of Portuguese football and currently playing for Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, recently caught the attention of the public in a conversation with journalist Pierce Morgan. During the conversation, discussions arose about the legend's financial situation and his status as a "billionaire footballer."
Pierce Morgan addressed Ronaldo with the following question:
- Cristiano, is it true that you officially became a billionaire in the last week?
Ronaldo responded with a smile:
- No, that's not news. I became a billionaire a long time ago - a few years ago.
The journalist asked again in surprise:
"Really?"
- Of course, I reached this milestone at 39. I know my financial situation well, I follow every step. This is my life, the money earned by my labor. That's why every detail about him is important to me," said Ronaldo.
According to the footballer, he has a team of experienced specialists around him - they communicate with the financial advisor almost daily, discussing investments and new opportunities.
- I was very happy when I felt that I had reached a billion. It felt like winning the Ballon d'Or. Every person has their own purpose in life. Some dream of building a house, others of buying a new car. My dream was to reach that number," added the star player.
The journalist continued:
- So, your main goal was to reach a billion?
Ronaldo said:
- Yes, it was my personal motive. But I'm not a money-hungry person. Finance is important, but there comes a time in a person's life when spirituality takes precedence over these things. We are human - we are never fully satisfied with what we have.
In recent years, Cristiano Ronaldo has made great strides not only in football but also in business. Her worldwide brand, hotel chain, and income from investment projects strengthen her reputation as one of the world's highest-paid athletes.
