Being one of the most talented footballers ever to have graced the face of this planet, it's hardly a big shock that Cristiano Ronaldo's finances (despite what you might have recently heard about tax allegations) are in good shape.
With the ink barely dry on his new Real Madrid contract, the Portugal international is also raking it in from a number of mega money sponsorship deals.

With seven European Cups and 18 Italian League titles to their name, Milan are one of the most decorated clubs in world football. Recent years haven't yielded the kind of success that the club have enjoyed in the last thirty years and the £167m they turned over in 2015 is £24m shy of Ronaldo's earnings over the same period of time.
A sign of the times.
