Ronaldo Signs Most Lucrative Sports Contract Ever: Football or Just Business?
Imagine this: Cristiano Ronaldo, football legend, has signed a jaw-dropping 200 million euro deal over two years with Saudi club Al Nasr! Yes, you read that right. Two years, 200 million euros, and not just for playing football, but also to be the ambassador of the dreams of wealthy Saudis.
How much money? Brace yourself for these numbers:
- Annually: 65 million euros
- Monthly: 17.39 million euros
- Weekly: 4.01 million euros
- Daily: 572 thousand euros
- Hourly: 23,800 euros
- Per second: 6.62 euros
And that’s not all! Ronaldo gets a signing bonus of 28 million euros, which can rise to 44.58 million if he activates the second year of the contract.
But wait, there’s more!
Ronaldo will receive a 15% ownership stake in the club, worth about 38 million euros. If he wins the Golden Boot, he’ll get an extra 4.69 million euros, and if Al Nasr wins the Saudi Arabian league title, another 9.39 million euros. In total, his earnings could surpass half a BILLION euros before the contract ends!
Family and luxury
Ronaldo and his family will have 16 staff members serving them: three drivers, four housekeepers, two chefs, three gardeners, and four bodyguards. The club covers about 1.64 million euros in expenses. He’ll also have a private jet worth nearly five million euros, and sponsorship deals with Saudi companies could reach 70 million euros.
Football or circus?
While Ronaldo plays as a 42-year-old in Saudi Arabia, the question arises: is this still sport or just business? Is this a contract for a football genius or a marketing spectacle?
What do you think?
Is this the peak of sports contracts or the beginning of the end for football as we know it? Drop a comment, laugh at the numbers, or ponder — because this isn’t just a contract, it’s football on steroids!
