Ronaldo makes history as he becomes the first billionaire footballer
I think there may be some misinformation here!
While Cristiano Ronaldo is an incredibly successful and wealthy footballer, he is not the first billionaire footballer. In fact, there have been several footballers who have reached billionaire status before him.
According to Forbes, the first billionaire footballer was David Beckham, who reached the milestone in 2017. Beckham's net worth is estimated to be around $900 million, thanks to his successful playing career, endorsement deals, and business ventures.
Other footballers who have reached billionaire status include:
- Lionel Messi: Estimated net worth of around $1.2 billion
- Neymar Jr.: Estimated net worth of around $1.1 billion
- Zlatan Ibrahimović: Estimated net worth of around $1.1 billion
Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is estimated to be around $900 million, which is still an impressive amount, but not quite billionaire status.
It's worth noting that the net worth of footballers can fluctuate over time based on various factors, such as their playing career, endorsement deals, and business ventures.
