#1 – Cristiano Ronaldo ($80 Million)

Our list concludes with the richest, and probably most hated player in the entire world, Cristiano Ronaldo. Perhaps it’s his wealth, good looks, or extremely high skills that fuels the anti-Ronaldo fire, we will never know!

But there really is no doubting that he is one of the best to ever play the game.Ronaldo has spent the last six years with Real Madrid, after a long run with Manchester United. Since joining the club he has averaged 1.12 goals per game in his first 178 appearances. That’s ridiculous. There are entire teams who can’t score more than one goal per game!

In his personal life, Cristiano has a future soccer phenom son with an unidentified woman who has granted him full custody.
