Almost 240 million francs. This is how much money football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo earns according to Forbes magazine in 2023. The magazine published the list of the highest-earning footballers worldwide. A year ago, Kylian Mbappé was still at the top, but the Portuguese displaced him thanks to his new salary in Saudi Arabia at Al-Nassr. Neymar (Al-Hilal) and Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) are also now ahead of the Frenchman. After all: Mbappé is still the highest paid footballer in Europe.
What stands out: Four players in the top eleven earn their money in the Saudi Pro League. In addition to Ronaldo and Neymar, these are Sadio Mané (Al-Nassr) and Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad). Last year, according to Forbes magazine, the two were not among the top ten highest-earning footballers in the world. It is important to mention that the magazine takes into account both the salary that players earn on the pitch and what they earn off the pitch.
