Cristiano Ronaldo recently shared his thoughts on reaching billionaire status, expressing both pride and a sense of fulfillment. “I knew this was going to happen, I was prepared. It was a matter of time. Honestly, I was very happy. It was like winning a Ballon d’Or,” he stated. The football star reflected on his journey, indicating that this financial milestone was part of his broader life goals alongside his achievements in football, such as winning trophies and awards.
Ronaldo emphasized that while money can provide benefits, it is not the sole focus of his life. “I’m not obsessed with money, because it can help you in many ways, but when you reach a certain level it doesn’t matter anymore,” he noted. He admired the importance of other aspects of life while acknowledging the human tendency to seek more.
At 39, Ronaldo has not only achieved remarkable success on the pitch with numerous records but has also become a financial icon off the field. “In football, I’m the only one. It doesn’t surprise me much; the numbers don’t lie,” he remarked, highlighting his exceptional position in both sports and business. “If you look at so many records in football, I’m at the top of the list, so it’s just another one.”
His reflections serve as a reminder that success can be measured in various ways, be it through athletic prowess, financial achievement, or personal satisfaction. Ronaldo’s journey is marked by hard work and determination, showcasing that with persistence, one can achieve their goals, both on and off the field.
