Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly makes more money being an influencer on Instagram than he does playing soccer for Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo apparently earns more from being an Instagram influencer than he does from playing soccer for Juventus.

Ronaldo has taken home $47.8 million from paid Instagram posts alone over the past year, according to a Hopper HQ study published on Buzz Bingo, which lists the 34-year-old as the platform's highest earner.

His annual wage packet at Juventus, for whom he signed for in 2018, is $34 million according to Goal.com — $14.7 million less than he receives for his posts on Instagram.
