The magazine pointed out in its report that Ronaldo's wealth has more than quadrupled since the beginning of his personal relationship with Georgina Rodriguez in 2016, when it was estimated at only about 320 million dollars.

By 2024, Ronaldo had surpassed the billion-dollar mark, before reaching 1.4 billion dollars in 2026.
The report explained that this growth did not only come from the sports salary, but from a smart financial strategy that includes investments in various areas, notably:
International real estate and hotels in strategic locations.
Fashion and perfume brands bearing his name or marketing partnerships.
Digital revenues and marketing across social media platforms, where the number of followers exceeds one billion, enhancing his value as a global promotional face for various brands.
