Ronaldo’s career began when he was just 16 years old in 2002; when he was signed for a record fee of $12 million pounds to Manchester United.
He played as a midfielder for three years before becoming a break out star in 2006. Before Ronaldo signed over to Real Madrid in 2009, he had scored over 100 goals for Manchester United.
The football star appeared in over 438 matches with Madrid and scored 451 goals before joining Juventus later on in his career.
Cr7 will be able to reach this astronomical amount thanks to its sponsorship agreements as well as to its businesses outside of football. Though there are rumors that Juventus could let the superstar go in the next coming months since the coronavirus pandemic has hit the economy really hard making it hard to afford player salaries even after the pay cuts were put in place.
