What The Weeknd will earn in Super Bowl will not be even close to Cristiano Ronaldo

NFL always bring an extraordinary show every year in the Superbowl’s halftime. Some extraordinary performances in the events history are remembered. Lots of stars and celebrities from all around the world have had the privilege to show off their art in front of one of the largest audiences in the world. This year will not be the exception with The Weeknd.

Born in 1990 in Canada as Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, The Weeknd has held almost 10 years of career in music. But the hit Blinding Lights took him to the top of the world during 2020. That would be the main reason for his appearance next February 7. The song will be played for sure, alongside some other ones.

It is known that just like his success in music it could be easy to consider Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the most successful soccer players in history. No, he will not be in the halftime show. But he has a role in this story. It is known that he is one of the best paid athletes in the world. His income can reach $35 million according to his reported contract with Juventus in Italy's Serie A.

His fame earns him lots of endorsement contracts. Could that be the case with The Weeknd? For sure. It can be guessed from the budget he will receive for performing in the Superbowl. Yes, fame and future endorsements. He will be playing for free and will not perceive a payment as salary to perform in the NFL final.
