We all know that Ronaldo Nazario bought Valladolid. He wanted to own a team in La Liga because he played so much there. The process was long, but by this year, he finished it and now he is the president of the club. Why doesn’t Pelé do that and got his own club?

We are talking about two of the best players in football history so their fortunes are pretty impressive. None of them earned that amount of money only by playing, Ronaldo is a huge business man with investments and Pele earned a lot of advertising and selling his image to several brands.

Apparently, the fortune of Pelé is about $500 million dollars, while Ronaldo’s is $100 million less or even more. So, we can assume that Pelé could get more soccer teams than Ronaldo if they eventually tried to beat each other for this. But the numbers are in movement the whole time.

Ronaldo now is the president of his own club. He has achieved everything that he tried to achieve. It was not enough for him to conquer the football world, he wanted to reach the business world. Pelé did too, but he did not get involved in club management of any type, at least not yet.
