Cristiano Ronaldo is widely considered to be one of the best soccer players of his generation, if not of all time, and even at 40, he shows no signs of slowing down. In 2025, he extended his contract with Al-Nassr through June 2027 in a deal worth nearly US$700 million (€602 million) that also includes equity in the club.
On the field, Ronaldo recently scored his 100th goal for Al-Nassr, making him the first player in history to reach that milestone with four different clubs: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr. He now has a total of 938 career goals, getting closer to the unprecedented 1,000-goal mark.
Off the pitch, Ronaldo continues to expand his global influence. He was named ambassador for the 2025 Esports World Cup in Riyadh, a groundbreaking event with a US$70 million prize pool. Whether celebrated as a football icon or criticized for his flamboyant lifestyle, Ronaldo remains a force impossible to ignore. CR7 is not only successful on the field—he also lives a striking life outside of it. A life, however, that is certainly not free of scandal.
