It goes to show just how colossal influence the Portuguese star holds on the social media world. His fame on social media has helped him pocket enormous money in his career till now. 

According to reports, he earns $1 million per promotional post from Instagram alone and makes more than $40 million from his social media in a year. The income from social media alone is higher than what he makes from his club's salary ($36.82m).

The Juventus star is one of the few athletes in history to make more than $1 billion from sports and sponsorship deals. 

Ronaldo's influence not only helps make money but also lessens it. Recently, he snubbed two Coca-Cola bottles from view at EURO 2020 press conference. 

Coca-Cola is one of the official sponsors of Euro 2020. The former Real Madrid player's action led to a $4 billion market value loss of the beverage giants.
