The life of Ronaldinho could perfectly fit to make a movie. The Brazilian legend was one of the most beloved soccer players in the world and make a lot of fans happy with his joyful and talented game. His professional career started when he was very young, playing in the streets of Porto Alegre and afterwards signing his first contract with Gremio.

Ronaldinho moved on July 2001 to Paris Saint-Germain and, since then, had an unforgettable career. He played for FC Barcelona, AC Milan, Flamengo, Atlético Mineiro, Querétaro and Fluminense. After all that time, on January 2018, he decided that it was his moment to announce his retirement and did so.

During all those years Dinho gained a fortune not just due to the contracts signed with clubs but also because of sponsorship. But he also had a life in which he liked to waste a lot his money. One of the biggest problems he ever had arrived after retirement, when he tried to enter to Paraguay with illegal documents.

After that incident, he went to jail in Paraguay for a month with his brother and could leave just after using a technique. The Brazilian paid a bail of $1.6 million to leave prison and stayed in a hotel doing house arrest with police watching over him. The money arrived from Europe, where he has an account, as his financial situation at Brazil is not the best one.
