Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 40, reportedly earns an eye-watering £3.28 million per week in the wealth-driven Saudi Pro League. However, a significant portion of that will be deducted in taxes. Even so, a weekly salary of £3.28 million is an astonishing amount. Ronaldo’s earnings are double those of the next highest earners, former PSG and Barcelona forward Neymar, and Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema. The top African earner is ex-Manchester City player Riyadh Mahrez, who is making £854.9k per week. As per GiveMeSport:
