Ronaldo and Messi have a huge influence off the pitch. |
With a combined total of 13 Ballon d'Or awards in their careers, Ronaldo and Messi have been the leading names in world football for over a decade. Their fame, influence, and appeal are undeniable. Many brands spend vast sums of money to secure collaborations with these two football superstars.
The cost of inviting Ronaldo is exorbitant.
Wearing the Al Nassr jersey, Ronaldo earned over $4 million per week, a staggering amount for a football player. His annual income reached over $250 million (including advertising revenue), making CR7 the highest-paid athlete in the world.
Harry Hugo, head of communications for the Sportlobster app, revealed that they paid over $320,000 for 35-40 posts by CR7 on his personal page. This was just one of the initial agreements with the Portuguese superstar.
Hugo stated that each of Ronaldo's posts can generate thousands of downloads for the app. Currently, the price for Ronaldo to appear on television, in a magazine, or to do a promotional post averages $1.3 million.
On Instagram alone, Ronaldo has over 650 million followers. In 2023, social media experts estimated that CR7 could earn $2.4 million for each sponsored post.
A passage in the book "Football Leaks" by journalists Rafael Buschmann and Michael Wulzinger reveals that Ronaldo once charged over $1 million for a 4.5-hour event with a telecommunications company in Saudi Arabia.

Messi also earns a lot of money from advertising.
Meanwhile, Messi also earns a considerable income, comparable to Ronaldo's. Currently, he plays for Inter Miami in the MLS with a base salary of $12 million per year, along with a total income of $20.4 million from sponsorship and advertising deals.
If organizers want to invite Messi to an event or performance, they will need to prepare between $150,000 and $200,000. According to Seattle Talent Buying , this price can vary depending on security and catering requirements at the event.
Messi and Ronaldo both appeared in a Louis Vuitton advertising campaign in 2023. The photo of the two playing chess quickly went viral on social media and garnered a huge amount of interaction.
Several sources close to the matter claim that Louis Vuitton paid Messi and Ronaldo approximately $1.7 million to $2 million each to appear in the photo. In reality, the two weren't actually playing chess together; it was a digitally manipulated image.

Messi also received a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia to promote the country's tourism . Before leaving PSG, M10 attracted attention when he skipped a team match and flew to Saudi Arabia to take a photo of himself gazing at the Red Sea. That photo was shared on M10's Instagram page, earning him $2 million.
In addition, "El Pulga" will receive $2 million per year just to travel to Saudi Arabia. All expenses will be covered by the Saudi Arabian side. In total, Messi could receive nearly $25 million over three years for this tourism promotion campaign in the West Asian country.
It's clear that both Ronaldo and Messi know how to leverage their popularity to generate enormous revenue, allowing them to live comfortably financially after retirement.
