RONALDO GENEROUS WITH GIFTS

Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world's highest-paid athletes, certainly knows how to pamper his loved ones. Earning more than £3.4 million a week at Al Nassr, the football superstar has no shortage of funds to splash out on extravagant gifts for his partner, Georgina Rodriguez.

With his substantial income coming from his contract in the Saudi Pro League and a slew of lucrative endorsement deals, it’s no surprise that Ronaldo can afford to shower Rodriguez with luxuries most people can only dream of. In 2022 alone, Ronaldo reportedly added $260 million (£194 million) to his wealth, cementing his status as one of the wealthiest sports figures.

One of the most recent displays of his wealth was for Rodriguez’s 30th birthday in January, when Ronaldo gifted her a diamond-encrusted G-Shock watch. The watch, commissioned by Ronaldo from the high-end brand Jacob & Co, is said to be worth around $100,000 (£75,000). To put that into perspective, a standard G-Shock watch without the diamond accessories can be purchased for as little as £150. Rodriguez expressed her gratitude for the lavish present, posting a picture of the watch on her Instagram story with the caption, "Gracias mi amor" – 'Thank you, my love.'

The couple’s story began in 2016 when they met while Rodriguez was working at a Gucci store in Madrid. At that time, Ronaldo was in the final stages of his illustrious career at Real Madrid before moving to Juventus in 2018. The family later relocated to Manchester in 2021 when Ronaldo signed with Manchester United. However, his time there was short-lived, and they made yet another move, this time to Saudi Arabia in early 2023.

Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr was a relief for Rodriguez, as she recently revealed in her Netflix series, *I Am Georgina*. "When Cris told me he was going to play for Al-Nassr, I was so relieved because I really wanted to leave Manchester," she admitted. "I knew something big was waiting for us, and we were highly motivated. I was very happy to come to Saudi Arabia."

Ronaldo's lifestyle and his ability to indulge his family with gifts reflect his status not just as a top athlete but also as a global icon with vast financial means. From luxurious watches to globe-trotting adventures, the football star continues to make headlines both on and off the pitch.
