Soccer legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi continue to dominate the sport and have lifestyles that would make anyone envious.

The legendary Portuguese footballer, aged 36, recently celebrated surpassing Pele’s goal record with a hat-trick against Cagliari – and now boasts an impressive 740 career goals to his name.

Similar to Ronald, Lionel Messi is a football superstar and has an amazing lifestyle. The Barcelona ace, 33, broke Xavi’s appearance record against Real Sociedad – the 768th time he’s played for the Catalans – and scored twice in a 4-1 win.

Because of their brilliance over the years, both players have seen their bank accounts swell and boast vast fortunes, making them the only two footballers to become billionaires, according to Forbes.

So what did they spend their money on?

HOMES
Cristiano has lived in some amazing homes throughout the years and has come a long way since his humble beginnings in Madeira. After making it at Old Trafford, Ronaldo splashed £3 million on an incredible estate in Alderley Edge. Then, when he moved to Real Madrid in 2009 for £80 million, he bought a stunning £4.8 million mansion in the exclusive La Finca neighborhood.

Currently, he lives in Turin in two adjoining villas found on a private road guarded by security, which leads to an entrance gate. The villas themselves have separate entrances and are surrounded by lush gardens and vegetation. The property is so high up, ‘it’s as if Turin were at the feet of CR7, a tribute of the city to the long-awaited and newly-arrived champion,’ La Gazzetta dello Sport reported at the time of purchase.

Ronaldo enjoys working out at a modern gym, which he used to frequent with his former shop assistant Georgina. The gym also features a swimming pool where Ronaldo cools down after a strenuous weightlifting session by doing a few laps.

Ronaldo also owns a £1.4 million holiday home in Costa del Sol, along with a £7 million home in Madeira where his mother and brother reside. Messi’s modern £5.5 million Barcelona mansion, where he lives with Antonella Roccuzzo, offers stunning views of the Balearic Sea and has environmental restrictions in place, including a no-fly zone over the Castelldefels property.

Located just 12 miles away from Camp Nou, Messi’s residence includes a small football pitch, a swimming pool, an indoor gym, and a playground for his three children. Earlier this year, Messi was reported to have invested £7.25 million in a luxury apartment in the Porsche Design Tower in Miami.

Remarkably, the building boasts three car lifts allowing residents to park their vehicles on the same floor as their suite.

Each suite comes with a convenient lift that allows residents to park their cars on the same floor as their home.

Juventus forward Ronaldo is a car collector, and SunSport has estimated in the past that his garage is worth £16 million.

The standout cars of his collection are his Bugatti Centodieci that cost £8.5 million, and is one of only 10 in the world. He also owns a Bugatti Chiron worth £2.5 million and a £1.7 million Bugatti Veyron.

For his 35th birthday, his gorgeous Wag Georgina Rodriguez gifted him a Mercedes G-Class Brabus, an SUV that can cost up to £600,000.

A £260,000 Lamborghini Aventador and a Ferrari F12 TDF that would’ve set CR7 back £350,000 are also kept in pristine condition in his collection.

Ronaldo is considered to be one of the fortunate few who have managed to purchase the amazing new Bugatti Centodieci, which comes with a price tag of £8.5 million.

The Ferrari F12 is one of Ronald’s favorites. Messi also has a love for luxury cars, although he is not in the same bracket as Ronald in terms of being a collector. The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has a Pagani Zonda worth £1.5 million, which is the most expensive in his collection. He has a penchant for Maserati, with a £100,000 GranTurismo S and a GranTurismo MC Stradale among his fleet. Messi has also been seen driving a Ferrari F43 Spider worth £173,000 around Barcelona. Before Barcelona’s deal with Audi expired, he wasn’t afraid to drive their sponsored cars too. However, with Barcelona’s deal with Audi ending last year, there are no more freebies from the German car giants.

Both Ronaldo and Messi live a jet-set lifestyle, so it’s no surprise they have their own planes. In 2015, CR7 reportedly paid £20 million for a Gulfstream G200 twin-engine jet. Originally named the ‘Astra Galaxy’, the G200 is capable of reaching a top speed of 560 mph. Its range is up to 3,910 miles with four passengers onboard, making it ideal for quick flights from Italy to hubs around Europe. And the G200 offers a generous seating configuration, fitting as many as eight to 10 passengers for one flight.

The Ronaldo family finds it easy to enjoy family games on board their spacious aircraft. Messi has leased a £12 million Gulfstream V jet since 2018. The plane had to make an emergency landing in Brussels last year due to a technical fault. It comes with incredible features, including its own kitchen. There are two bathrooms and enough seats for 16 people. Messi even has the names of his family members – wife Antonella, and children Thiago, Ciro, and Mateo – etched on the steps of the jet.

Last year, an airplane had to make an emergency landing in Brussels due to a technical fault. In 2019, Ronaldo ventured into the seas to expand his empire of amazing things by adding a £5.5 million superyacht to his collection. Built at the Versilia shipyards of Azimut-Benetti, this luxurious yacht features five luxury cabins and six stunningly decorated bathrooms. Additionally, there is a modern kitchen onboard, as well as two relaxation areas, a huge lounge, and a lavish dining room.

Juventus legend Ronaldo is the owner of the prestigious Azimut Grande yacht.

The luxury yacht came with a price tag of around 5.5 million pounds.

It boasts five luxurious cabins.

Ronaldo enjoys a relaxing time on board his yacht with Wag Georgina. No stranger to a life at sea, Messi doesn’t own a yacht but often holidays with friends including Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas on board the Seven C yacht. Measuring nearly 92ft long, it was first built in 2003 before undergoing a refit in 2011.

Boasting luxury interiors throughout, the vessel sleeps ten guests in four rooms, including a master suite, a VIP stateroom, and two twin cabins. Her sizable deck area offers plenty of room for sunbathing and relaxing, while there’s an outdoor bar to cater for guests’ thirsts.

Surprisingly, it costs £40,000 a week to rent.

The luxurious interiors onboard the Seven Hotels spare no expense.

Ronaldo and Messi have both ventured into the hospitality industry and now own hotels.

The Argentine businessman, Roderigo, runs the family business, Hotel MIM, which has three hotels in Spain.

One of these is Hotel MIM Sitges, located in a coastal area of Barcelona which Support had the pleasure to visit and Ronaldo purchased in 2017.

Messi added an Art-Deco Ibiza resort to his portfolio the same year, with rooms costing £250 per night.

The affordable Hotel MIM Mallorca costs £70 per night and was spruced up in 2019.

The most recent addition to the group is the Himalaya Hotel at the Spanish ski resort Baqueira-Beret.

Ronaldo is slowly building his hotel empire.
