Many athletes rake in a lot of money. MLB pitcher and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani’s recent $67 million contract with the LA Dodgers blew people out of the water, while Nathan MacKinnon of the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche signed an eight-year $100.8 million extension. In the NBA, we see some of the highest of all sports salaries, with big-name player Stephen Curry earning $51.9 million per year.
Soccer players don’t lag very far behind, either, with Cristiano Ronaldo making first place on a list of the world’s highest-paid athletes at £218m. With all the riches coming in from contracts, prize money, social media, and brand partnerships, how do some of the wealthiest soccer players splash their cash?
Known through a mononym, Brazilian midfielder Neymar is regarded as one of the greatest soccer players of this generation. On the pitch, he’s accumulated a variety of accolades, being the highest-scoring player from Brazil in the history of the Champions League, the entire nation of Brazil’s top goalscorer, and the world’s third-highest-paid athlete in 2019, as reported by Forbes. His playful and confident personality, along with his sheer skill and unique play style, thanks to his early love of futsal, has naturally made him an international icon.
Off the pitch, Neymar spends his hard-earned cash on cars, homes, and other flashy items, including a Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 that set him back $15 million. He’s also known for his gambling and gaming pursuits, where he once spent a whopping $40,000 on CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) skins alone. He famously streamed one of his online casino sessions on Twitch, where he blew £900,000 in just one hour, pretending to cry and then laughing it off. Neymar is a regular casino-goer and online gambler, likely frequenting some of the best online casinos licensed by the UKGC.
While Neymar is one of the biggest names today, Gareth Bale was making waves a generation ago. Bale was a winger who played the majority of his career with Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, and Wales. Considered one of the best Welsh players ever to exist, Bale came from humble beginnings in Cardiff. His footballing abilities were so remarkable at the time that his PE teacher had to restrict him to one-touch football to give other students a chance. That remarkable skill paid off, as he became a uniquely well-rounded player known for his next-level speed.
Over his 17-year senior career, Bale used some of his hefty earnings to contribute to his favourite hobby – golf. In fact, he was so obsessed with it that it garnered controversy during his time with Real Madrid; the Spanish media deemed Gareth more interested in golf than Madrid. While this wasn’t true, his measures to install three replicas of world-famous holes on his estate reflect true dedication. Seeing as it was such a massive project, who knows how much that cost him?
The man known as CR7 needs no introduction. Arguably the greatest football player to ever walk this earth (although people make a case for Messi), anyone could spend months just researching the ins and outs of his storied career, starting with his senior stint at Sporting CP. There are legendary goals to marvel at, the 33 trophies to pore over, and records galore. Let’s face it – the man is irreplaceable, and he’s got the achievements and compensation to prove it.
Ronaldo makes more in a minute than some people make in a week: an unbelievable £337 per. With a total of around £14.75m to spend on whatever suits his fancy every month, what could he possibly be buying? Well, he’s got an approximately $5 million watch collection – featuring a 474 white diamond encrusted Franck Muller – an £18m supercar collection, including a £2m Bugatti Chiron, a £12m yacht, a £32m Gulfstream G650 private jet, need we go on?
