When detailed one by one, Ronaldo has 148 million followers on Facebook, while on Twitter he has 91 million followers. On Instagram, the player nicknamed CR7 has around 261 million followers and is one of the most followed people, apart from celebrities.

If calculated from the number of Instagram users who have reached 1 billion users, it means that 15 percent of them have followed Cristiano Ronaldo's account. Even on YouTube, with the channel inactive for almost four years, Ronaldo has earned a gold play button plaque with over a million subscribers.

Ronaldo's achievement this time seems difficult to be matched by anyone, including his rival in the world of football, Lionel Messi. So far, Messi only has 78 million followers on Instagram and a few followers on Facebook.

Because, Lionel Messi does not actively use social media. He also does not have a personal Twitter account, the player nicknamed La Pulga only surfs on Facebook and Instagram.

So how much does CR7 earn from social media? Launching The Sun's page, Cristiano Ronaldo's income generated from the Instagram endorsement in 2020 is estimated at 41.7 million pounds or around Rp. 807 billion.

In fact, according to research conducted by Hopper HQ, the Instagram marketing company, Ronaldo can pocket 889 thousand US dollars or around Rp. 12.3 billion for each sponsored post. This record has also colored the new chapter of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has entered the age of 36 on Friday, February 5, 2021.
