The 255-euro fine imposed by the Portuguese Football Federation on Cristiano Ronaldo for leaving the national team’s camp following a falling-out with coach Jorge Jesus has become… a joke.
The 41-year-old superstar won’t even have to break a sweat to pay that amount, which is a drop in the bucket compared to his earnings. To be precise, CR7 earns a minimum of 208 million euros per year under his contract with Al-Nassr, and with bonuses, the total can approach 250 million euros. And that’s not even counting the income he earns from commercial deals and other business ventures.
Do you know how long it would take Ronaldo to earn the amount of the fine imposed on him, based on his contract with Al-Nassr? Just 38.6 seconds! The 255 euros amount to 0.00012% of his annual contract.
