Saudi Arabia According to Forbes magazine, the amount of money Cristiano Ronaldo earned in the 2022-2023 fiscal year is more than Lionel Messi and Neymar combined.
On October 14, Forbes magazine published a list of the highest-earning football players in the past 12 months. Ronaldo leads with $260 million, including $200 million in salary and bonuses at the club and $60 million in off-field income. Ronaldo will play for Al Nassr from January 2023, after terminating his contract with Man Utd in November 2022.
Messi is second, but with $135 million - less than half of Ronaldo's earnings. The Inter Miami forward is the first MLS player to make the top 10 since David Beckham in 2012.
