According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, in October, Bloomberg reported that Ronaldo was the first footballer to exceed $1 billion in wealth.
Ronaldo told British journalist Piers Morgan in a YouTube interview: "My most expensive purchase is a plane. I have been using it for 13 years; I upgraded it a year ago. Yes, it's a bit expensive. I have a Global Express model."
