Ronaldo Nazario was one of the best Brazilian soccer players of all time. Maybe, if Pele hadn’t won three World Cup titles and scored so many goals, we could be even discussing if he was not the best one ever. The striker won two World Cups, two Ballon D’Or and many other international competitions.

His career started in Cristovao Brazilian side, continued in Cruzeiro, and then he jumped to Europe: PSV Eindhoven, FC Barcelona, Inter, Real Madrid and AC Milan. After leaving the Italian side, in 2008, he moved to Corinthians, a club in which he played until his retirement.

Since quitting, Ronaldo has been making some very interesting businesses that permitted him to bill fortunes despite not being a soccer player anymore. Transformed into a businessman, he bought Real Valladolid Spanish side, from which he is also the president.

But the ex-attacker has also many other contracts signed with sponsorships that allow him to gain millions per year. He bought an eSports team called CNB, he has a contract with Santander Brazilian bank, he is the main ambassador of PokerStars betting site, and many other businesses that allow him to remain being a millionaire.
