Times have changed thanks to the internet and the immediacy of social media. The world of soccer has had to adapt to this change, since soccer players are already a brand and can do business and earn money outside of their career as soccer players. Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest proof of this.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the person with the most followers on Instagram in the world, with 617 million. This is very attractive for all types of sponsorships, and that is why brands are willing to pay a lot of money for each post that Ronaldo uploads. More specifically, according to El Mundo, Ronaldo earns more than 2 million euros from an Instagram post.
Georgina Rodriguez already has more than 55 million followers on Instagram, and given the times these days, this translates into a good opportunity for brands to advertise to so many people. Now, as revealed by "La Sexta", Ronaldo's girlfriend earns around 100 thousand euros per story, or 1 million per Instagram post.
Georgina reveals that Ronaldo is not materialistic:
"Coincidentally my birthday always coincides with games and I spend very few birthdays with him and our children too. This year I felt super happy, because he gave me his time and I was able to share my birthday with him. Ronaldo is very unmaterialistic, well, we are very unmaterialistic "I have given him three cars and I won't give him any more, it is no longer original."
