Cristiano Ronaldo has earned an incredible amount of money since signing for Al Nassr at the very end of 2022.
Ronaldo sealed a dream return to Manchester United in 2021 and scored 24 goals in 38 games in his first season.
However his second stint ultimately ended on a sour note, following a fall-out with Erik ten Hag and highly controversial interview with Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo's comments, where he was critical of Ten hag's management and the facilities at the club, led to his deal being cancelled by mutual consent.
And while he wasn't short of offers, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner elected to leave Europe for Saudi Arabia and signed with Al Nassr.

Ronaldo's channel has uploaded 61 videos, varying from interviews to games with his other half Georgina Rodriguez.
The Portuguese superstar achieved unprecedented numbers from the get-go, racking up a whopping 65.3 million subscribers and half a billion views across his content.
Thinkific say YouTube creators can earn around $2 – $12 per 1,000 views or approximately $0.002 – $0.012 per view on YouTube and when you factor in ad revenue, Ronaldo is not doing too badly at all.
