Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is not only famous for his talent on the field but also for his generosity off the field.
Ronaldo is said to be very generous in his spending. |
One of the more notable stories about his character was revealed when Ronaldo left a huge “tip” for staff at the Costa Navarino resort in Greece in 2018.
Ronaldo was enjoying a vacation after Portugal were eliminated from the 2018 World Cup. During his 10-day stay at the luxury resort’s Royal Methoni villa, he and his family were well looked after by the staff. Not only did the villa have 24/7 babysitting service, but it was also surrounded by sand dunes, making it an ideal hideaway from the paparazzi.
After leaving, Ronaldo surprised the staff by leaving a tip of up to 20,000 euros. What’s special is that he asked that this amount be divided equally among the 10 staff who served him and his family. Each staff member received 2,000 euros as a way of thanking them for their efforts.
Resort staff expressed their gratitude on social media: “It was an honor and a wonderful experience to take care of Cristiano Ronaldo and his family. Thank you so much @Cristiano for being part of our story.”
Ronaldo also shared some fun moments from his vacation on Instagram, including a photo of him sailing in the sea and a photo with his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez. These actions not only demonstrate his generosity but also confirm that Ronaldo is a star with a big heart and always grateful to those who have helped him.
