For the devoted fans of Cristiano Ronaldo, the news that he allegedly purchased a massive property in Dubai on Friday is probably not shоcking.

The 38-year-old football magnate has a keen eye for commercial real estate, having invested in his successful hotel chain of the same nаme. He also has no problem blowing cash on opulent residences across the world for his own use.

His purportedly most recent acquisition is an incredible one. The 30,000 square meter villa is located on Jumeirah Bay Island and features a private beach access, six bedrooms, a spa, a car showroom, a swimming pool overlooking downtown Dubai, and on-site staff housing.

In an empire that spans four nations and two continents, the property would become the Portugal icon’s sixth known property if the transaction goes through.

Nevertheless, Ronaldo has also offloaded a number of properties in recent years rather than letting his portfolio remain stagnant. He reportedly sold his northern Portuguese property to his national teammate Pepe in February 2022, as well as his Trump Tower apartment in New York, at a reduced price.

Here, Mail Sport goes into Ronaldo’s wildly successful collection of current personal goods.

A Portuguese Riviera home in “retirement”

Ronaldo is eager to play for as long as possible, but he had already begun to consider his post-playing future when he bought a substantial plot on the Portuguese Riviera in late 2021.

His vision of a ‘hospital-sized’ home in Quinta da Marinha remаins unfulfilled more than two years later, with reports in June indicating that the project, whose costs have skyrocketed to more than £28 million, is a year behind schedule.

Supporters of Ronaldo have posted several computer-generated images (CGI) of the property that show what it would look like when it is finished. However, for the time being, the project is still just a construction site and a nuisance to his neighbors.

As part of what is reportedly Portugal’s most costly real estate development, Ronaldo’s mansion will feature a 1,000 square foot master bedroom and a massive glass swimming pool with an underwater bridge.

At the property, privacy is still a problem, therefore CR7 was eager to dramatically increase his personal space and independence. Ronaldo made an attempt to purchаse a neighboring golf course in 2022 with the intention of demolishing the clubhouse, which is in the villa’s future line of sight.

However, authorization was turned down.’

Renovating Funchal for £7 million

Given Ronaldo’s deep ties to his birthplace of Madeira, it comes as no surprise that the real estate tycoon has acquired a striking residence.

The Al-Nassr midfielder is believed to reside with his brother Hugo and mother Dolores in a seven-story mansion that he bought for £7 million in 2015.

Though the number of beds in the palace is unknown, the building is reported to have three below-ground stories. The grounds include two swimming pools and an indoor football pitch for training.

Nevertheless, Ronaldo and his family only lived in the city center house for a month during the Cоvid-19 оutbreak, moving to a leased estate in the countryside despite having the opportunity to live in an apartment building as a Madeiran base.

The final connection to Manchester United

One asset that Ronaldo is eager to sell is his Manchester home. His Alderley Edge, Cheshire, property is still for sale a year after his messy departure from his former team, Manchester United.

Ronaldo was forced to drastically reduce the seven-bedroom house’s original £5.5 million listing price in February 2023; it is currently listed with a suggested price of £4.9 million.

On top of the main home, the 23-acre estate also has a two-bedroom guest barn and other amenities including a wine shop, a movie theater, a fitness center, a jacuzzi, and a pool for guests, as well as a padel tennis court.

headquarters at Real Madrid

Having spent most of his time at the Bernabeu from his home, Ronaldo tried to sell his £4.8 million property in the upscale neighborhood of La Finca, but in April 2023 he made the decision to put it up for rent.

With seven bedrooms, the contemporary Joaquin Torres-designed complex is large enough that Ronaldo’s longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez once said she might “get lost” in it.

A prospective renter can also take use of CR7 monogrammed door handles, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a state-of-the-art gym, and a football pitch for the £8,800 per month.

An athletic neighborhood and a Spanish villa Ronaldo and UFC figҺter Conor McGregor may have seemed an odd couple sitting next to each other at the ‘Day of Reckoning’ figҺt night in Saudi Arabia earlier this month, but the player’s £1.4 million vacation home in Marbella apparently makes them long-term neighbors.

Ronaldo is thought to have bought the pad in 2019, and like his previous properties, it displays his taste in modern architecture. The pad is situated in the gated community of La Resina, a golf and country club estate between Marbella and the neighboring Estepona.

There is also an infinity pool with views of the Mediterranean at the four-bedroom complex.

… and his Saudi Arabian residence

As he settles down in Saudi Arabia, it’s unclear if Ronaldo has established a permanent base, but his most recent known residence was suitably lavish.

The athlete and his family moved into the opulent Kingdom Suite at the top of the Kingdom Tour, one of the tallest buildings in the nation, at the Four Seasons hotel in Riyadh. The suite is spread across two distinct floors.
