Cristiano Ronaldo declared World's Richest Footballer with €148m

Today Monday March 10th, popular
football website Goal.com released
their Rich List and declared Real Madrid
and Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo as
the richest active footballer in the
world.
The World Footballer of the Year held
off rival Lionel Messi in the 2014 Goal
Rich List with an estimated wealth of
€148million. Retired footballer David
Beckham was the 2013 Goal Rich List
winner but since he's retired from
football, he's no longer eligible to be
put in the list.
Messi comes second with an estimated
net worth of €146million followed by
Eto'o with €85million then Wayne
Rooney with €84million, and Kaka
rounds off the top 5 with €82million.
But Goal made it clear that the list is
based on the revenue of active players
over the course of their entire careers
and not just the previous year. See the
