As a planetary star, Cristiano Ronaldo earns a lot of money. Above all, the Portuguese who is now playing at Manchester United has to travel a lot with his job. Even if it means sometimes being had. Indeed, Jornal de Noticias reports that the five-time Ballon d’Or was ripped off to the tune of 288,000 euros.
He had entrusted the codes of his bank cards to Geostar, an agency which took care of his trips. Between February and July 2010, she invoiced more than 200 trips with the attacker’s bank accounts. Concentrated on the ground, he noticed nothing! He is not the only one to have been fooled because his agent, Jorge Mendes, as well as Nani and Manuel Fernandes, two Portuguese internationals, have also suffered the same damage. Between them, they lost the tidy sum of 350,000 euros according to the Portuguese newspaper.
The agent who deceived personalities from the world of football was sentenced in 2017 by a court in Porto to four and a half years in prison. At the same time, she must also reimburse her former employers monthly.
But that shouldn’t have stopped Cristiano Ronaldo from sleeping. In 2020, Forbes announced that CR7 had officially become the first “billionaire” player in football history.
