Cristiano Ronaldo continues to dominate the world of football as the top earner in 2023, with various successes contributing to his outstanding performance. Currently leading in goals scored for the past 12 months, Ronaldo faces an opportunity to extend his lead, having already netted 50 goals. Despite turning 39 in February, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down, motivated to maintain his peak status.
In terms of income, Forbes statistics reveal that Ronaldo remains the highest-paid player in 2023, earning $260 million in the last year, primarily from his salary at Al Nassr. His move to Saudi Arabia has significantly boosted his income and elevated him to the number one spot among football players.
Apart from his on-field success, Ronaldo is actively involved in business ventures and continues to invest in new projects. Sponsorship contracts also contribute to his earnings, with an estimated total income of $260 million for the year.
Ronaldo’s determination to succeed is evident, as he aims to surpass his great rival Lionel Messi and secure a prominent position in the upcoming Euro 2024. If he performs well in the tournament, Ronaldo’s chances of competing for the prestigious Ballon d’Or remain entirely possible, marking a remarkable and enduring career in football.
