Not only in goals, another area in which Cristiano surpasses Messi by far, the fortune that CR7 makes for his concept

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been battling one another on the pitch and are regarded as the two greatest players of all time. While Ronaldo started two years ahead of Messi, the Portuguese icon has scored more goals than the Argentine legend throughout their careers. While CR7 could brag about having more goals than Messi, he could also show the fortune he makes over him when it comes to posting Instagram posts. Ronaldo is very active on social media and posts regularly, but he also charges large amounts to post promos for companies. CNN reports that Ronaldo earns around $3.23 million per Instagram post, while Messi earns around $2.6 million per Instagram post.

Ronaldo's earnings from Instagram posts have skyrocketed over the past few years, as in 2019, CR7 earned around $1 million per sponsored post. The Portuguese striker is the most followed user on the Instagram platform at 629 million followers. Sponsored posts by Ronaldo will do well for companies since they reach so many people around the world and since he is arguably the most recognizable athlete in the world. CR7 has posted sponsored posts with Nike, Armani, and Tag Heuer, along with some of his products as well like Erakulis and Ursu.

Messi has a large following on Instagram as well, with 502 million followers on the platform. The Argentine has also sponsored posts with his partners like Hard Rock, Lowes, Apple, and more. The Inter Miami star has recently posted about his new hydration drink, which is expected to be released in June. Messi revealed that the name of his drink is Más+ by Messi. Messi also posts pictures of his family and about Inter Miami games.

What's next for Ronaldo and Messi with their teams?

Ronaldo is preparing with the Al Nassr team to take on their rivals Al Hilal in a match in the Saudi Pro League this Friday. Al Hilal is the league champion, but Al Nassr wants to break Al Hilal's unbeaten streak since they have yet to lose in the league this season. Inter Miami will take on their state rivals, Orlando City, in the MLS. Messi is doubtful for this match, but the team will play another game this weekend, which will be against DC United at the Chase Stadium.
