Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has recently been in the spotlight with the title of "the first billionaire footballer in history." The 40-year-old Portuguese star revealed in an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan what the most expensive thing he has ever bought is.
"I KNEW I WOULD BE A BILLIONAIRE"
Regarding his billionaire status, Ronaldo stated, "I had already become a billionaire years ago. To be serious, I reached this level at 39. This is my life and my money. I knew I would be a billionaire; it was just a matter of time. It's a feeling similar to winning the Ballon d'Or. I'm not obsessed with money, but after a certain point, money doesn't matter. There are more valuable things in life than money," he expressed.
"I'VE HAD A PLANE SINCE I WAS 30"
When asked about his most expensive purchase to date, Ronaldo replied, "A plane. I've had a private jet since I was 30, which means for 10 years. I upgraded to a better one a year ago. I currently have a Global Express jet. Money provides people with certain opportunities, which is a nice thing. But I'm now in a phase of my life where I don't want to think about expensive things," he answered.
"I WANT SIMPLICITY NOW"
The star footballer also mentioned that he wants to lead a simpler life in the coming years, saying, "I want to live the next chapter of my life without expensive expenditures."
