Cristiano Ronaldo has become football's first billionaire after signing a lucrative contract extension with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. The Portuguese forward's estimated net worth has reached $1 billion, making him one of the wealthiest athletes in history.

Ronaldo's billionaire status is attributed to his massive earnings from contracts, endorsements, investments, and business ventures like his CR7 brand. His move to Al-Nassr in 2023 marked a financial turning point in his career, significantly boosting his annual earnings and overall wealth.

The deal with the Saudi club, reportedly worth $400 million, has propelled Ronaldo into the billionaire league of athletes.
