JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo's revenue in 2021 exceeds the US$1 billion mark (Rp14.3 trillion). In October alone, the Portuguese superstar has a net worth of $500 million.

The player, who started his professional career at the age of 17 for Sporting Lisbon in 2003, has enjoyed successful careers at Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United. Also with the Portugal national team which he captained.

And since moving back to Man Utd in the summer, the 36-year-old is reported to be on a reported $643,668-a-week contract. This brings his annual revenue to $33.5 million, according to a report by British media, the Mirror.

Five Ballon d'Or trophies and a series of achievements by Ronaldo have helped increase his selling value. This gives him the advantage of making extra money outside of football as many brands want him as the face of their products.

Not only that. Having 95.4 million followers on Twitter and 366 million followers on Instagram undoubtedly increases its advertising opportunities.

In the past, the Portugal national team captain was a brand ambassador for Altice, Herbalife, DAZN, MTG, Clear Shampoo, Abbott and Unilever products. Of course this increased his annual revenue by an additional 45 million US dollars.

Ronaldo is also the brand ambassador for Japanese technology company 'SIXPAD', which is valued at US$2.4 billion, and the popular app LiveScore.

With his impressive athletic physique, even as he approached the final stages of his career, as well as his attractive appearance, he was able to sign contracts with these brands to further market himself and dominate the market outside of football.

Away from sponsorships and commercial contracts, Ronaldo is also proactive in building his own business to make more money coming in.

He has established his hotel empire – run by the Pestana CR7 group – in Funchal, Lisbon and other soon-to-be cities around the world.

In 2019, he continued to expand his business portfolio with the opening of a hair transplant clinic in Marbella, following the one already established in Madrid and 10 more in Portugal, generating an additional US$114 million per year.
