AS reported that Cristiano Ronaldo draws 70 million pounds a year in personal endorsements. Even at that, his management turns down 90% of the offers that come his way. Recently Ronaldo turned down a 3 million pound pay day to promote a property development because it conflicted with Real Madrid training. I guess it’s nice to hear that he has his priorities in order.

All this is phenomenal news for Real Madrid though. I don’t just mean from a promotional standpoint either. As part of his move to Real Madrid he shares 50% of all personal endorsement earnings. Now that is a sweet deal!
