00:19 Cristiano Ronaldo is a brand in itself.
00:23 Just like David Beckham, Ronaldo's hard work and smarts have taken his stardom to a whole
00:28 new level.
00:29 He is one of the finest and richest footballers in the world.
00:33 Known for his style, cars and hairdos, Ronaldo is equally famous as a model as he is as a
00:39 footballer.
00:40 Although he is quite transparent about his personal life on social media, we believe
00:45 there are still some facts which the majority of his fans don't know about him.
00:51 The youngest child of Jose Dini Savero and Maria Dolores dos Santos Viveiros, his parents
00:57 worked as a gardener and a cook.
00:59 Raised as a Catholic, Ronaldo grew up in a poor environment.
01:03 As a kid, he had to share a room with his three siblings.
01:07 A young boy seeking to explore his talents, Ronaldo soon discovered he was a gifted footballer
01:13 and thus he landed a place in a Portuguese club sporting CP at the tender age of 12.
01:21 While Ronaldo was a good footballer, he was a student not quite worthy of emulation.
01:27 He got expelled from school but this wasn't an issue for him as he had sought to leave
01:31 school and focus on football.
01:34 His football career, however, was threatened by a heart condition which had him undergo
01:39 laser surgery as a teenager.
01:42 But the star, just like his nature, conquered the adversity and soon resumed his career.
01:49 Ronaldo moved to Manchester United in 2003 for a transfer fee of £12.24 million.
01:57 But it was not until the 2000 season when he had a significant impact in the English
02:02 Premier League.
02:03 That was the beginning of his glamorous football career.
02:07 That season he won the league for the team and was prolific at the goal earning him a
02:11 boatload of EPL awards.
02:14 If fans wondered whether Ronaldo was going to be a one season wonder, he certainly rubbished
02:19 those thoughts.
02:21 His performance the following season was equally convincing as he led United to another EPL
02:26 title and won the Champions League.
02:29 He even took it a bit further by winning his first Ballon d'Or and FIFA Player of the
02:34 Year award.
02:36 After just one more season at United, he moved to Real Madrid in 2009.
02:43 For a player of his calibre, Ronaldo's transfer to Madrid was a world record amount of £94
02:49 million.
02:50 And his buyout clause was fixed at an unbelievable €1 billion.
02:56 He signed a 5 year deal which saw him earn €11 million annually.
03:01 Ronaldo was prolific at the goal which earned him several individual honours and the league
03:06 title.
03:07 But that wasn't enough for the Madeira native as his eyes were fixed on Champions League
03:12 glory.
03:13 That did not materialise until the 2013-2014 season.
03:17 His win that season also earned him the FIFA Ballon d'Or and a whole lot of other awards.
03:23 His wins in the following season though earned him a second successive Ballon d'Or award.
03:31 Determined for victory again in Europe, Ronaldo's performance in the 2015 season shot up.
03:37 That season he emerged as Madrid's all-time top scorer and guided his club to UEFA Champions
03:43 League glory.
03:44 Determined to win the Ballon d'Or for a fourth time, Ronaldo guided Madrid to victory in
03:49 the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup and the Champions League.
03:54 He was equally prolific for his national side as well and guided Portugal to victory in
03:59 the Euro 2016.
04:02 With this he claimed his fourth Ballon d'Or award and he also won the first Best FIFA Men's
04:08 Player award.
04:10 His form didn't drop the next season either as he once again claimed multiple trophies.
04:15 He thus received his fifth Ballon d'Or award and his second successive Best FIFA Men's
04:21 Player award.
04:22 In his last season at Madrid, he recorded similar success.
04:27 Ahead of 2018, he moved to Juventus for a transfer fee of 100 million euros.
04:33 In his debut season, he lifted the Italian first division title and was crowned the Serie
04:38 A award winner.
04:40 He also won the first ever UEFA Nations League tournament with his country Portugal.
04:46 Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most decorated football players in the history of the sport.
04:52 He has won the Ballon d'Or five times as we've mentioned, which is the highest honour an
04:57 individual footballer can receive.
05:00 He has won the Golden Boot four times which is a trophy given to the highest scorer across
05:05 the various leagues.
05:07 In regards to both of these awards, Ronaldo has won them more than any other European
05:13 player.
05:15 As of 2020, Ronaldo has won 29 trophies over the course of his career, including six league
05:23 titles, five Champions League victories, a Euro Cup win and a Nations League win with
05:29 Portugal.
05:31 When he won the Champions League in 2018, he became the first player in the history
05:36 to do so five times.
05:39 Cristiano's goal scoring antics are also record-breaking.
05:43 As of this year, he has scored over 700 goals over the course of his career for both club
05:49 and country.
05:50 He scored 128 goals in the Champions League, which is a record, and also scored nine goals
05:57 in the Euro Cup, you guessed it, another record.
06:01 At the age of 35, Ronaldo belongs to a small club of players who have appeared in more
06:06 than thousand matches with no sign of retiring.
06:11 Cristiano Ronaldo typically earns more than $60 million a year as a base salary, although
06:18 this has changed throughout the years with his different clubs.
06:22 Off the field, he earns more than $40 million a year from different endorsements.
06:27 Between June 2017 and June 2018, Ronaldo earned $108 million, $61 million through salary and
06:37 $47 million from endorsements.
06:40 Between June 2018 and June 2019, he earned $110 million from his footballing empire.
06:49 One of his most lucrative brand endorsement deals was with Nike.
06:54 In November 2016, it was revealed that Cristiano had signed a one billion lifetime deal with
07:00 Nike.
07:01 Specific terms of the deal are not known, but it is believed that the deal came with
07:06 a $100 million signing bonus.
07:09 In addition to that, Cristiano Ronaldo sells various self-branded products such as perfumes
07:14 and clothing.
07:16 He also has a partnership with the Pestana Group, the biggest hotel group in Portugal,
07:21 and the two have a couple of hotels, one in Lisbon and one in Funchal, named the Pestana
07:27 CR7 Hotel.
07:29 He also owns a fragrance line named CR7 Fragrance.
07:34 He also has a clothing line which he launched in tandem with Nike.
07:40 Ronaldo is the proud owner of Insparia, a hair transplant clinic located in Spain.
07:48 After spending nine wonderful years with Real, in 2018 Cristiano Ronaldo signed a four-year
07:54 deal with Italian club Juventus that pays a base salary of $64 million.
08:01 Following reports that the player earned $105 million between 2019 and 2020, it was revealed
08:07 by Forbes magazine that Ronaldo became the latest member of the athlete's billionaire
08:12 club, one of the only three athletes in the world to have earned over $1 billion in their
08:18 careers and he is the first footballer to do so.
08:24 Ronaldo's $1 billion earnings do not make the star a billionaire but in the near future,
08:28 the star could surely join the elite billionaire club.
08:33 That cash bucket means he can afford to indulge his love for flashy automobiles and he does
08:39 have quite a few choice rides in his collection as you will discover in a few moments.
08:47 Not only is Ronaldo one of the most celebrated football players in the history but he also
08:52 spent a large chunk of his wealth on these sickest rides.
08:57 Here are some of his rides which you have only probably seen in the movies or video
09:02 games.
09:04 The first Bugatti to arrive in the collection was this black grand Sports Vitesse with contrasting
09:11 orange interior.
09:13 He purchased the car in 2016 fresh off his Champions League victory with Real Madrid.
09:18 With a top speed in excess of 254 mph, the car once held the official record as the fastest
09:25 open top production car in the world.
09:31 In 2012, Ronaldo celebrated his 27th birthday with some style when he dug into his weekly
09:37 wages and bought himself this Lamborghini Aventador.
09:41 The blacked out paint scheme adds an element of aggressiveness to the naturally aspirated
09:46 V12 supercar that is capable of putting out almost 700 horsepower.
09:53 There are reports that he owns another Aventador and the player has shared pictures of a white
09:57 one on his Instagram account.
10:00 Ronaldo is a Ferrari fan and currently has a few parked up in his garage.
10:05 The most impressive has to be his limited edition Ferrari F12 TDF.
10:11 Only 799 units of the V12 supercar were ever produced.
10:16 The car can hit a top speed in excess of 210 mph and needs only less than 3 seconds to
10:23 get to 60 mph.
10:25 The football ace sure has a thing for fast wheels.
10:30 The McLaren Senna is the ultimate track car that's still legal enough for public roads.
10:36 Only 500 units of the 789 horsepower Senna were built and Ronaldo is one of the most
10:42 famous owners.
10:44 His spec is finished in a combination of silver and polished carbon with red accents.
10:49 He picked up the car in 2019 and has been pictured a few times cruising in Lisbon, Portugal.
11:02 The car was based on the 599 GTB but included more power and aerodynamic elements that literally
11:10 double the high speed downforce of the GTO compared to the GTB model.
11:16 Only 599 units of this car were built making it a very special part of Ronaldo's collection.
11:24 One of the perks of being a Real Madrid player is that you get a new Audi car every year.
11:30 In 2017, while Ronaldo was still at Madrid, he opted for one of the most powerful models
11:36 on offer, the RS7.
11:39 The car finished in Panther Black is a proper performance hatchback with a twin turbo 4
11:45 litre V8 engine capable of producing almost 600 horsepower.
11:51 The list of his rides is very long but now let's talk about some of his other assets.

12:12 For now, I think we should continue with the video because the stories are about to get
12:16 crazy.
12:17 So grab those caramel popcorns and let's dive deeper into Ronaldo's stunning life.
12:25 For a man like Cristiano Ronaldo with a net worth valued as high as $466 million, owning
12:32 a private jet is pretty much a walk in the park.
12:36 He is the proud owner of a Gulfstream G650 private jet valued at £50 million.
12:44 Cristiano Ronaldo's aircraft is said to be the fastest private jet which is able to hit
12:49 a top speed of 610 miles per hour.
12:52 Nothing saves you super rich unless you own a private jet.
12:57 Now let's talk about Ronaldo's various properties.
13:01 In 2015, the New York Times revealed that Ronaldo had invested a huge sum of money on
13:07 an apartment in Trump Tower, Manhattan.
13:10 The purchase of the 2,500 square foot space high up in the tower led to rumours that Ronaldo
13:17 may join an MLS club after his time at Real was up.
13:21 That didn't happen though but the snazzy apartment is still waiting for the 35-year-old whenever
13:26 he fancies a trip to the Big Apple.
13:29 The panoramic views of Central Park probably make it worth a few million alone.
13:36 A relatively modest purchase by Ronaldo's previous standards at just over a million
13:41 pounds, the Marbella Holiday House is no less stylish than his other properties.
13:47 The house built by the Otero Group, a luxury villa developer, overlooks the sea and features
13:53 a built-in theatre, LED driveways and an infinity pool.
14:00 When Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018, he needed a new home for him and his family so he relocated
14:06 to the hills of Turin, purchasing a villa that is shrouded behind trees and vegetation
14:12 away from those unwelcoming prying eyes.
14:16 One of Ronaldo's nearest neighbours in Turin is believed to be John Elkin, the chairman
14:21 of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
14:25 He bought the $9 million mansion in Funchal back in 2015, at which time it was a derelict
14:31 warehouse.
14:32 It has since been renovated and is now as stylish and luxurious as his other properties.
14:40 The rooftop pool overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, a view which can also be seen from the living
14:45 room which boasts a double-height floor-to-ceiling window.
14:50 There is also, of course, a gym, an additional swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a football pitch.
14:56 Not a bad place to self-isolate then.
14:59 Cristiano Ronaldo flaunting his wealth will surely catch the attention of several, including
15:04 aspiring athletes.
15:07 While Ronaldo flaunts the spoils of his intense hard work, remember the sacrifices he had
15:13 to make to get to where he is now.
15:15 But don't quit school just yet as not all can be as amazing and as stunning as Cristiano
15:21 Ronaldo.
