How Christiano Ronaldo Spends his Millions
How does Cristiano Ronaldo unload $620,000 a week? Buying cars too valuable to drive, watches too expensive to wear, and mansions nobody can afford…plus having influencer Georgina Rodriguez as a girlfriend. This is what it takes for a superstar footballer to burn through $105 million-a-year.
Ronaldo is soccer’s first billionaire—the third richest athlete in the world. And what better way to make that clear than with an endless rotation of diamond-smothered timepieces—most of which cost more than your house. Take his Grand Baguette, by B. Jacob & Company, one of only six in the world. It’s a million-dollar watch that lets you see five time-zones at once—if the glitter from the 360 baguette diamonds doesn’t blind you first.
His Rolex GMT-Master II ICE Baguette Diamond timepiece is one of the most exclusive models ever made—also worth a million. And if that’s not special enough, he rounds out his $6 million watch collection with stuff like a one-of-a-kind, diamond-ringed Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon B-Axis King Gold chronometer—say that three times fast—or a Franck Muller Invisible Baguette Diamonds Imperial Tourbillion timepiece coated with 474 diamonds, and 70 rubies—just to break up the monotony. Each one runs about a million bucks, and none of this includes his $4,000,000 jewelry collection, or the Louis Vuitton jewelry box, and the $240,000 Cartier engagement ring he gave Georgina.
No billionaire is complete without a fleet of exotic cars, and Ronaldo spends serious coin on his wheels. He’s only got about 20 in his collection, but they’re worth an estimated $24 million. They include the ultra-rare, super-fast “hypercar”, the McLaren Senna, for $1.3 million; a couple of Bugati’s worth $2-3 million each; plus five Ferraris, a Mercedes G-Wagon Brabus, and a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead coupe that set him back $607,000. And while that’s only one of three Rolls Royces he owns, his most precious vehicle is a limited-edition—we’re talking 10 in the world—Bugatti Centodieci supercar. It’s a $12 million ride, that goes from zero to 60 in just 2.4 seconds, with a top speed of 240 mph—if you dare to get in it.
While his job demands that he travel the world, Ronaldo understands the stability of owning real estate. It doesn’t go anywhere. So, in addition to investments in a world-wide hotel chain, he’s got eight knockout properties that are worth a pretty peso. There’s his $9.7 million, 7-story mansion in Madeira, Portugal—the town where he was born. He’s got a $1.8 million vacation villa in Marbella on the Costa del Sol in Spain, two more in Turin and Geres, and the most expensive apartment in Lisbon—bought for $7 million. Lastly, he owns a 2,509 square-foot apartment in Manhattan’s Trump Tower, worth a whopping $18 million.
Amazingly, Ronaldo’s entire car collection is worth less that his single Gulfstream G200 private jet, which he bought for $25 million in 2015. Then he had it refurbished in 2018, because it’s tough to get all that champaign out of the four passenger seats. But even as I speak, he’s thinking about selling it—to get a bigger one.
Ronaldo’s money also goes to charities like UNICEF, Worldvision, Save the Children, Red Cross, and Make-A-Wish.
And finally, there’s the $30,000 he spent on a wax statue of himself, to keep at home in Madeira. Must have used loose change he found in the couch.
