Ronaldo is the first football billionaire on the recently published Bloomberg Billionaires Index with an estimated fortune of 1.2 billion euros and invests that money, among other things, in an empire of health and beauty clinics.
Cristiano Ronaldo (40) first football billionaire ever: 1.2 billion euros!
Last Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo opened a branch of his hair clinic Insparya in the Saudi capital Riyadh. The clinic offers a range of hair treatments, including hair transplants. The vain Portuguese star footballer spoke about this The Byron Cooke Show on MBC Loud FM.
“I think it’s better to do things with her. Don’t you think? If you saw me without her, I wouldn’t be the same Cristiano Ronaldo,” said the Portuguese top footballer. “You look better with her, that’s my opinion.”
Ronaldo challenged host Byron Cooke: “I’m not a doctor, but I think you might also be able to use a transplant in the future. In the near future.”
Later, Ronaldo took a serious tone on the topic. “I made a joke about it, but no one should be ashamed in any way. This is something positive that you can do for yourself. People go to the clinic a little shy. Because five years ago it was still kind of taboo. But now it’s different. People look at it differently now. They now see it as if you were just going to the dentist.”
“I think you should be confident, with hair or without hair. But with hair is better, in my opinion. You feel more comfortable with yourself and I think that is the most important thing. Self-confidence does not come from outside, it always comes from within. But of course it is also nice to look good from the outside. For me, health is the key. I have other businesses related to health, not just hair.”
Wellbeing tourism to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has used big money to lure world football stars, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, to the national competition and uses those names to promote the country. In addition to sports, tourism and entertainment, Saudi Arabia is committed to wellness tourism as part of the Vision 2030 project.
It was therefore written in the stars that Ronaldo’s hair clinic would have a branch in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
