Cristiano Ronaldo is a global icon. He is the most followed athlete across a number of social platforms, including Instagram, where he has over 133 million followers. I have 713 followers, but if you want to help me on this journey, go ahead. (jack_kenmare)
I mean, approximately 520,000 Juventus shirts were sold either online or in-store in just 24 hours of his transfer being announced., which puts into perspective how bloody massive he is.
The 33-year-old also has a few quid to his name. It was announced earlier this month that the five-time Balon d'Or winner will earn €30 million a year in Turin and in the meanwhile, has penned a four-year deal worth a whopping €120 million.

That's right. The 33-year-old will pocket £26,545,154 a year at Juventus, which equates to £2,212,096 per month.
If you break that down into weekly, daily and hourly rates, it just proves that despite his age he is still worth a huge amount.
He will pick up £106,180,616 over four years, £26,545,154 in a year, £2,212,096 in a month and £510,483 a week
If that doesn't put things into perspective, maybe this will: Cristiano Ronaldo will earn £72,925 a day, £3,038 an hour, £50.64 a minute and 84p a second during his time in Serie A.

Away from his Juventus contract, the forward also rakes in the money from social media, including branded content for popular network Instagram.
It has been revealed that Ronaldo can command upward of $750,000 (£570,000) every ad-based picture he posts, which is absolutely bonkers when you think about it.
Neymar earns a nice little earner of $600,000 if he fancies it, while Lionel Messi will pick up $500,000.
Madness.
