Arguably the greatest football player on earth, Cristiano Ronaldo is constantly on top of his game both on and off the pitch.
He has amassed a fortune from football, sponsorships and other ventures, and was the world’s highest-paid athlete in 2023 according to Forbes, making US$136 million that year and worth some US$260 million overall.
With that much money, luxury homes are a given. Here is a look at Ronaldo’s incredible estate portfolio.

Ronaldo can swap city views in Lisbon for scenes of the mountains and trees in the famous Peneda-Gerês National Park in northern Portugal. Lifestyle Asia reported in 2022 that the star owns a US$3 million mansion in the park, overlooking the River Cávado.
Ronaldo made headlines in 2021 when extensions to the home were declared illegal and were torn down.

Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 in Funchal, on the island of Madeira, and owns a seven-story property in the city. Architectural Digest previously reported that he renovated the former warehouse space to the tune of US$8 million in 2019.
It has four floors above ground, including a rooftop pool with a view of the ocean, a gym and an indoor pool. It is reported this is where the star’s mother and older brother spend most of their time.

La Finca, Madrid
Ronaldo spent nine years in Spain playing for Real Madrid. During that time, he had Spanish “master architect” Joaquín Torres Vérez design him a four-story, seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in the city’s exclusive La Finca neighbourhood.
The mansion also reportedly boasts a state-of-the-art gym, a private football field and a massive garage.
In 2013, the home was listed as being worth around US$7.1 million, per Forbes.
According to The Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, Ronaldo put the mansion up for rent when he moved to Saudi Arabia in 2022 for a cool US$16,000 a month.
Marbella
As one of the world’s top-performing athletes, Ronaldo hardly has an off-season. But when he does, he and the family have a beautiful holiday home in southern Spain’s Costa del Sol region to retreat to.
The villa, in the city of Marbella, was reported by GQ to be worth around US$1.6 million and features a built-in cinema, several bedrooms, a modern open-plan kitchen and an infinity pool.

Trump Tower, NYC
Ronaldo is a global superstar with commitments and business affairs around the world. When he is in America, he can call a luxury condo in the heart of New York home.
US media reported that Ronaldo bought an apartment in Trump Tower in Manhattan in 2015 for US$18.5 million. Six years later he put it up for sale at just US$7.75 million, reported Vanity Fair.
Per Business Insider, the loft unit was even designed by famous interior designer Juan Pablo Molyneux and features three bedrooms, three and-a-half bathrooms, and a stunning view of the city that never sleeps.
