Apart from fame, Cristiano Ronaldo is regarded as one of the wealthiest sportspersons on the planet, as evidenced by his regular appearances on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-paid athletes. The Portuguese star is famous for investing in the right properties and having a keen eye for things that matter as far as investments are concerned.
Ronaldo has now reportedly set his eyes on real estate investments in the Middle East since moving to the region last January. According to new reports, the former Real Madrid star has splashed some money on an island in Dubai called ‘Billionaires Island’ as he expands his property portfolio.

Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the richest athletes on the planet, doesn’t shy away from spending his money on the right things. The Portuguese star has investments in different sectors, including real estate, hospitality, and even digital currency, thanks to his affiliation with the cryptocurrency platform Binance.
The Portugal international moved to the Middle East last year to sign for Al-Nassr, where he’s been plying his trade and enjoying soccer again. After finishing 2023 as the world’s top scorer with 52 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo has now rewarded himself with a new property in Dubai, which is set to be completed in less than a year.
According to Daily Mail, Ronaldo’s new mansion is on the famous Jumeirah Bay Island, which is one of the man-made islands in the city-state of Dubai. The mansion will give him private access to the beach while also giving him many perks, including a swimming pool, a showroom for his cars, a spa, and many more.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s lavish property portfolio
Despite being known for his lavish lifestyle, as he frequently spends on expensive cars, wristwatches, and many other luxury items, Cristiano Ronaldo takes investments very seriously and always invests in the right sectors, especially real estate.
Cristiano’s first property came during his first stint as a Manchester United player when he bought a home in Alderley Edge for $7.1 million. The home had housed David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, and Luke Shaw also rented the house from Ronaldo before the Portuguese star sold it off in 2019.
Ronaldo also owns a mansion in Spain, which he bought during his time at Real Madrid. The mansion features a Jacuzzi, sauna, and an indoor pool, and also has his initials carved on the doors of the house, most notably the front door. Ronaldo also has real estate investments in Portugal, Italy, and now the United Arab Emirates, according to reports.
