Cristiano Ronaldo has made it. Nope, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner hasn’t added another title to his long list of accolades.

Instead the Juventus superstar has finally become football’s first billionaire. Mirror Football explained back in April that the Portuguese captain was on the verge of joining the $1bn club - which, in terms of active sports stars, features just Floyd Mayweather and Tiger Woods (Michael Jordan having made much of his fortune via Nike after his playing days).

And now, Ronaldo is there. In 2019, Ronaldo hauled in £88million ($109m) as football’s second highest paid player - behind long-time rival Lionel Messi.
