Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most popular and richest players in world football. Built on the foundation of so much success, the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner has always commanded the biggest transfer fees and salaries throughout his career. In 2009, he was signed for a then World-record fee of £80m from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Since then, the Portuguese international has always earned millions of pounds annually. We'll look at how much Cristiano Ronaldo makes in a year and how much he would make in 2021.
