Cristiano Ronaldo has made an absolute fortune ever since he made the move to the Saudi Pro League.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner changed the game when he agreed a £177-million-a-year deal with Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr just under a year ago.

The transfer was confirmed on 30 December following on from Ronaldo's Manchester United contract being terminated following a fall-out with Erik ten Hag.

It has proven to be a catalyst for the arrival of a slew of big-name signings in Saudi.

The likes of Neymar, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Karim Benzema, Jordan Henderson, Riyad Mahrez, Allan Saint-Maximin and Ruben Neves are all now playing their trade in the Saudi top flight.

But while they are all earning a pretty penny, no player's pay packet comes close to Ronaldo's.

Ronaldo takes home around £3,403,846 per week from Al Nassr and given it's coming up to the one-year anniversary of his arrival, the 38-year-old has now collected around £153 million.

Real Madrid's record goalscorer is the highest-paid player in world football by a considerable margin, with astronomical off-field earnings adding to his guaranteed salary.

But although the money is more than, he hasn't just gone to Saudi for a payday and has scored 36 goals in 42 appearances for Al Nassr, who are second in the league after 13 games.

Ronaldo's son, Cristiano Jr, has also followed in his footsteps by signing with Al Nassr's youth academy.

The 13-year-old has followed his dad to Juventus and Manchester United and played in the youth academies there.

He will now continue his development at Al Nassr and according to Fabrizio Romano, is also sporting the No.7 shirt his old man is synonymous with.

The Arab Club Champions Cup winners have high hopes for him as he is playing two years above his age group and turning out for the Under 15 side.
