Cristiano Ronaldo has bought the most expensive house in Portugal, and he’s going to spend Rs 173 Crore on it. This house might become his family’s permanent home after he retires from football.
There are rumors that Cristiano Ronaldo might return to Sporting Clube de Portugal. Meanwhile, he has bought a luxury mansion in his home country, which is said to be the most expensive house in Portugal. Some reports suggest that after the World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo might leave Manchester United and go back to Sporting CP, the club where he started his career. This could be one reason why he bought a new house in Portugal.
In 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo was the third highest-paid athlete in the world, according to Forbes. He made $60 million (around Rs 495 crore) from playing football and another $55 million (around Rs 453 crore) from other activities. Ronaldo, the top goalscorer in football history, has earned over $1 billion (around Rs 8,241 crore) throughout his career, according to Insider. The star footballer owns several properties around the world, including a $9.7 million mansion (around Rs 79 crore) in Madeira, a $1.8 million villa (around Rs 14 crore) in Marbella on the Costa del Sol, and an $18.5 million apartment (around Rs 152 crore) in Trump Tower, New York City.
The three-floor mansion is located 40 km from Lisbon and has an indoor area of 2,720 square meters and an outdoor area of 544 square meters, with plenty of open space and a large swimming pool, according to Sportskeeda. The house faces south, offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, and it includes an elevator and solar panels. The garage is big enough to hold up to 20 cars.
According to MARCA, the mansion is worth $11 million (about Rs 90 crore), but after all the renovations, its value will rise to $21 million (about Rs 173 crore). As reported by Sportskeeda, Ronaldo’s wife, Georgina Rodriguez, and his friend, Paulo Brito, are redesigning the villa. Brito has decorated all of Ronaldo’s other homes. The villa will feature ultra-luxurious details, including an exclusive Louis Vuitton mural and Italian marble.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won five Ballon d’Or awards and four European Golden Shoes, has a net worth of nearly $500 million (around Rs 4,124 crore), according to Mirror.uk. At 37 years old, he is the most followed person on Instagram, with 493 million followers. Each sponsored post on his Instagram earns him about Rs 19 crore, says Forbes India.
