As of the current moment, Ronaldo has amassed over 121 million views on YouTube. With his star power, advertising revenue, and lucrative sponsorships stemming from his recent YouTube success, Ronaldo may have already earned well over a few hundred million USD.

The Portuguese footballer boasts a substantial following of over 31 million subscribers on YouTube. His channel features videos showcasing his son Cristiano Jr. and partner Georgina Rodriguez, covering a variety of topics such as ranking his Euro goals, free-kick challenges, and engaging in "This or That" games.

On the pitch, Ronaldo netted an impressive 44 goals during the 2023-24 season while playing for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr. Despite a lackluster performance in Euro 2024, where he failed to score a single goal, Ronaldo has kicked off the 2024-25 season with three goals in three games.
