How Much Does Cristiano Ronaldo Earn at Al Nassr?

Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the football world when he left Europe to join Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr in January 2023. Now aged 39, many thought he was close to retiring — but instead, he signed one of the biggest contracts in football history.

New Deal Until 2027

Ronaldo first signed a 2.5-year contract, which was set to end in summer 2025. But he recently agreed to stay for two more years, until 2027, when he will be 42 years old.

His Huge Salary

Ronaldo now earns around €180 million per year (about £153.5 million or $211 million). This is a bit less than his first deal, which was worth €200 million per year.

Only part of this is for playing football. Much of the money comes from image rights and sponsorship deals, which means companies pay to use his name and face for advertising.

Breakdown of Ronaldo’s Earnings

Here’s how much Ronaldo earns, according to reports:

• Per year: €180 million

• Per month: €15 million

• Per week: €3.46 million

• Per day: €493,150

• Per hour: €20,548

• Per minute: €342

• Per second: €5.71

This makes him the highest-paid footballer in the world, and one of the richest sports stars ever.

Is He the Richest in Sport?

Yes — in terms of annual salary, Ronaldo’s deal is the biggest ever in sports history. His earnings are even higher than those of Lionel Messi and American football star Patrick Mahomes.

Other Contract Details

Some reports said Ronaldo might receive extra perks, such as:

• A share in the ownership of Al Nassr (15%)

• A personal team of staff, including drivers, chefs, and security

There were also rumours that he might promote Saudi Arabia’s 2030 World Cup bid, but the club has denied this.

What Is His Net Worth?

Ronaldo’s total net worth is now around $800 million (£581.5 million / €682 million). In 2025 alone, he reportedly earned $275 million.

He is also believed to be the first footballer to earn $1 billion over his entire career.
