Cristiano Ronaldo Declared World Riches Footballer With €148Million

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 top 10 richest footballers below;
