adminLONDON. — For the super rich, it seems, there is almost nothing that cannot be bought. And that includes Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid’s record scorer and arguably the most famous footballer on the planet will, for the right price, put his name to almost anything. But Ronaldo is available for more than just sponsorship. According to new the book Football Leaks: The Dirty Business of Football , Ronaldo is also available to rent.
The cost of spending four and a half hours with Ronaldo? A staggering £920 000.
The book states that Saudi Arabian company Mobily agreed to pay Ronaldo’s image rights company, Multisports & Image Management, that fee in 2013.
For that price, they got four-and-a-half hours of his company. They were also allowed a photoshoot, two mentions on his social media profiles and five signed shirts.
In addition, the firm were allowed to use his image for regional advertising for one day. This sort of activity provides the potential for huge additional income for Ronaldo, who earns more than £400 000-a-week after tax at Real Madrid. — The Mirror.
