Cristiano Ronaldo is expanding his real estate collection with another significant purchase following his acquisition in Dubai.

According to Bloomberg Linea, Ronaldo is purchasing a mansion on Jumeirah Bay Island, famously known as the 'Billionaire's Island' due to its affluent residents. This month, Ronaldo will be in Dubai to receive the Maradona Award for the world's best goalscorer in 2023. The cost of his new property isn't disclosed, but is estimated by experts to be in the tens of millions of dollars.

Ronaldo has long transcended the realm of football, becoming a global celebrity. His salary, approximately £177 million ($215 million USD) annually at Al-Nassr Club, solidifies his status as one of the wealthiest athletes and figures on the planet. The purchase of a new mansion further underscores his wealth.

After concluding 2023 as the top goalscorer, Ronaldo has set a new goal for himself - to replicate his success in 2024. He scored 54 goals, surpassing England's Harry Kane from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain's star Kylian Mbappé by two goals.
