tariq Cristiano Ronaldo's Most Expensive Things He Owns Today
He has scored more goals than almost any human alive. He has five Ballons d'Or sitting on his shelf. And in 2025, Cristiano Ronaldo did something no team-sport athlete had ever done before. He became a billionaire. Not a millionaire. A billionaire. So what does a man worth over a billion dollars actually spend his money on? Stick around, because by the end of this video you will know exactly how Ronaldo spends his fortune, and the very last item on this list might surprise you more than anything else. Let's get into it.
The Jet That Started It All
When Ronaldo was asked directly what the most expensive thing he has ever bought was, most people expected him to say a car, a mansion, or maybe a watch. Instead, he gave a one word answer. A plane. Ronaldo owns a customized Bombardier Global Express, a private jet valued somewhere between fifty and seventy five million dollars. This is not just any private jet either. It has been personalized with his CR7 initials and his famous celebration silhouette painted right onto the aircraft. The jet has a range of around nine thousand nautical miles, which means Ronaldo can fly from Saudi Arabia to Europe or even further without ever needing to stop. He has said he needs the plane mostly for safety and privacy, since traveling commercially as one of the most recognized faces on the planet is simply not realistic anymore. He previously owned a Gulfstream jet worth around thirty million dollars before upgrading to this new custom aircraft about a year ago. Think about that for a second. His old thirty million dollar jet was basically a downgrade in his eyes.
A Car Collection So Big He Lost Count
Here is something that will blow your mind. Ronaldo genuinely does not know how many cars he owns. In a recent interview he admitted he thinks the number is somewhere above three dozen vehicles, but he has stopped counting because, in his words, he can spend a full week at home in Madrid and never once walk into his own garage. His car collection is estimated to be worth somewhere between twenty five and thirty million dollars combined. Inside that collection sits a Bugatti Centodieci, one of only ten ever made on planet earth, valued at around nine million dollars on its own. This hypercar produces over sixteen hundred horsepower and can go from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just two point four seconds. He also owns a Bugatti Chiron, multiple Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and a Rolls Royce Dawn. Ronaldo has openly said that cars are no longer really a passion for him. He now treats them more like art or an investment, buying them the same way a collector buys paintings, not necessarily to drive them but to own them.
Real Estate Built To Last
Unlike a lot of celebrities who flip properties for profit, Ronaldo's approach to real estate is surprisingly conservative. He treats his homes as stores of value rather than quick investments. Each property he owns tends to represent a specific chapter of his career. He famously purchased a luxury apartment inside Trump Tower in Manhattan back in 2015. He has owned multi million dollar mansions in Madrid featuring indoor pools, private gyms, and home theaters. Today, Ronaldo lives primarily in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where his current contract with Al Nassr is based. His properties across Portugal, Spain, and the United States remain part of a real estate portfolio that quietly grows in value every single year, even while he is out on the football pitch scoring goals halfway across the world.
Watches Worth More Than Most Houses
Ronaldo's obsession with luxury timepieces is legendary inside the football world. He owns a Jacob and Co timepiece valued at around one point five million dollars, a watch so exclusive that most people will never even see one in person. Alongside that, his collection includes pieces from Rolex and Hublot, with several individual watches valued at over five hundred thousand dollars each. For Ronaldo, watches are not just accessories. They are status symbols, engineering marvels, and in many cases limited edition pieces that very few people on earth are even allowed to purchase. Some of his watches are custom designed specifically for him, featuring his initials or personal branding worked directly into the design.
A Private Escape From The World
When the pressure of being one of the most photographed humans alive becomes too much, Ronaldo has somewhere to disappear to. He has access to his own private retreats, including yacht ownership that dates back to 2020, when he purchased a twenty seven meter Azimut Grande yacht worth around seven million dollars to celebrate winning a Serie A title with Juventus. The yacht includes five bedrooms and six bathrooms, essentially functioning as a floating mansion. Beyond the yacht, Ronaldo has also gained access to private island getaways, giving him complete isolation from cameras, fans, and the constant noise that follows a global icon everywhere he goes.
Building An Empire Beyond Football
What makes Ronaldo different from most wealthy athletes is that his fortune is not just sitting in a bank account. A huge portion of his billion dollar net worth comes from business ventures he built himself. His CR7 brand spans clothing, underwear, fragrances, and accessories. He owns and operates the Pestana CR7 hotel chain, with locations across multiple countries generating consistent income completely separate from football. He has a lifetime deal with Nike, one of the most valuable athlete endorsement contracts ever signed. On top of all of that, his current Al Nassr contract alone pays him close to two hundred million dollars a year, which breaks down to roughly four hundred eighty eight thousand dollars every single day. Let that number sink in for a moment. Every single day, whether he is playing, training, or sleeping, Ronaldo earns close to half a million dollars.
The Surprising Truth About His Wealth
Here is the twist that most people do not expect. Despite owning hypercars worth millions, private jets, yachts, and mansions across three continents, Ronaldo has openly said in recent interviews that he has become less materialistic as he has gotten older. He said he can buy literally anything he wants, but he does not need most of it. For him, becoming a billionaire was never really about the money itself. He compared reaching that milestone to winning a Ballon d'Or, just another record to add to a career built on constantly pushing limits. That mindset is probably the real reason his wealth keeps growing instead of shrinking. He does not chase luxury for the sake of luxury. He built an empire, and the expensive toys came along as a byproduct of that success.
Final Thoughts
From a seventy five million dollar personalized jet to a garage he does not even bother walking into anymore, Cristiano Ronaldo's lifestyle is proof of just how far talent, discipline, and smart business decisions can take a person. Very few athletes in history have managed to turn raw sporting talent into a genuine global business empire the way he has, and that is exactly what separates him from almost everyone else on this list of the world's wealthiest athletes. He did not just become the greatest goal scorer in football history. He built a financial empire that will likely outlast his playing career by decades. And honestly, knowing Ronaldo, this list is probably going to look completely different again in just a year or two.
