The fine that Cristiano Ronaldo had to endure was only equal to the amount of money he earned in just 15 minutes.
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation fined Ronaldo after indecent celebration with Al Shabab fans. The Portuguese star was suspended for 1 match and paid a fine of £6,000 (nearly 200 million VND). However, this number is nothing for CR7.
According to calculations by Dailymail (UK), it only took Ronaldo 15 minutes to earn back this money. Ronaldo’s total income is 218 million pounds a year, of which 175 million pounds is salary at Al Nassr and the rest comes from advertising money with Nike, Herbalife, Armani, Tag Heuer, DAZN and PokerStars. Not to mention, this striker has income from his own brand called CR7.
Thus, on average, Ronaldo earns nearly 600,000 pounds per day, and 414 pounds per minute (more than 524.00 United States Dollar). Fans on social networks joked that this superstar only needed to “sit and play” for 15 minutes to earn enough money to pay the fine.
Ronaldo is the highest-earning athlete in 2023.
