Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo ranked the world's most profitable football player for three consecutive years with an annual income of US$275 million.

According to Forbes, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most profitable footballer for three consecutive years, with a total annual income of up to $275 million, a figure that has historically been inferior to former boxing champion Mayweather, who scored $300 million in 2015. Ronaldo, 40, joined the Saudi team Riyadh victory at a sky-high salary in December 2022. Coupled with the sponsorship income that Ronaldo himself has earned in business, he has always been rich in money.

The Golden State Warriors' basketball star player Stephen Curry, who reached 4,000 career three-pointers in the NBA in March, climbed to second place with $156 million, and the third place was British boxer Tyson Fury. Although he lost the title of the world's heavyweight champion, he still ranked third with $146 million. In addition to Ronaldo, there are two other football players in the top 10, namely Messi ($135 million) and Benzema ($104 million) ranked 5th.
