Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has officially become the first footballer to reach billionaire status, with his net worth climbing to an astonishing $1.4 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires index.
Ronaldo’s wealth urged following his lucrative move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where his record-breaking salary and global endorsements skyrocketed his earnings.
