As everybody knows, 2020 has been extremely harsh for Ronaldinho: in March he was arrested for using fake documents, went to prison in Paraguay and got out in August. And after being released, he got coronavirus. And it was said that his bank account only had $6 left in it. But he recovered.

Firstly, he and his brother were released from prison after a 190,000 dollar bail was paid, and the one who paid for it was Samuel Eto'o, former teammate of the Brazilian at FC Barcelona. And then, he started lots of investments using his own images that gave him incredible money returns.

The most important of all was opening his own music studio. With the rap group Tropa do Bruxo, the videos posted in YouTube reached three million views. Then came his own brands of wine and geneve, and was the face of the improvements in Atletico Mineiro's stadium, the team he won Copa Libertadores with in 2013.

This is the new life of Ronaldinho. Music and parties everywhere, as he always lived when he was a soccer player and as he wanted to live after his sports retirement. This is his second life, and he was to enjoy every minute of it. And also, doing it his way, make lots of money from it
