Lionel Messi earns 135 million dollars – 1.5 billion kroner – during the year.

Agreement with the league

Both players receive substantial compensation from their clubs, but they both also raise substantial sums via advertising collaborations.

For example, Ronaldo has advertised for Saudi Arabia’s national day and for the upcoming boxing match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. He is also sponsored by, among others, the shampoo brand Clear and the companies Binance and Herbalife.
