C.Ronaldo’s initial contract with Al-Nassr from the beginning of 2023 is worth around £164m per season along with £49m from off-field activities.
With a sky-high income, the striker, who is about to turn 40, has spent millions of pounds on a lavish lifestyle over the years, investing in luxury vehicles, real estate and diamond-encrusted watches.
C. Ronaldo has an incredible property portfolio . After staying at the Four Seasons Hotel for £250,000 a month, he and his family bought a villa in the Al Muhammadiyah residential area in 2024.
In addition to the villa in Saudi Arabia, the superstar also owns many other luxury real estates. In 2021, he invested in a property in Portugal with the plan to build a “hospital-sized” villa in Quinta da Marinha, but this plan was delayed for more than two years. C. Ronaldo’s villa in Portugal is expected to have a giant glass swimming pool with an underwater walkway and a master bedroom of nearly 93 square meters. This is considered the most expensive real estate development project in Portugal.

The villa has two swimming pools and an indoor football pitch.
