Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Cristiano Ronaldo has made significant headlines over the past week, marking a notable shift in his public profile and business ventures. On November 18th, the 40-year-old football legend attended a high-profile black-tie dinner at the White House hosted by President Donald Trump in honor of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Seated prominently in the East Room alongside tech titans like Elon Musk and Tim Cook, Ronaldo received what Trump described as a symbolic golden key to the White House, with the president praising him as "one of the greatest players in history" and noting that his son Barron is a fan. Ronaldo reflected on the moment, calling it unforgettable and emphasizing his view of America as a land where sport meets possibility. This marked his first major public engagement in the United States since 2014.
The White House appearance carries significant implications ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which the US will co-host, and Portuguese-American communities have embraced the moment as one of collective cultural pride. Beyond the diplomatic sphere, Ronaldo's financial empire continues expanding impressively. He officially became a billionaire in June 2025, with his current net worth standing at 1.2 billion dollars, boosted by his Al-Nassr contract worth 620 million over two years and a fifteen percent ownership stake in the Saudi club. His earnings from salary and endorsements alone are projected to surpass two billion by retirement.
On the business front, Spanish publication Marca reports that Ronaldo is launching an exclusive venture called Vega Members Club in Madrid, partnering with high-society figure Iñigo Onieva. The luxury establishment, spanning 1,000 square meters and inspired by 1950s New York apartments, will ban mobile phones and photography to guarantee privacy for its elite clientele of businessmen, football players, and other high-profile members.
Meanwhile, Portugal's economy minister Castro Almeida highlighted during a Riyadh visit that Ronaldo plays a key role in promoting Portugal to Saudi Arabia and attracting investment to the country. The minister noted that Saudis view Ronaldo almost as one of their own, with his popularity instrumental in raising Portugal's international profile and facilitating tourism and business opportunities between the two nations.
