Cristiano Ronaldo named world's highest-paid athlete

World-renowned footballer Cristiano Ronaldo sets another record. According to the latest list of the American magazine Forbes, Ronaldo has been named the world's highest-earning athlete for the third consecutive year.

According to Forbes, after joining the Saudi club Al-Nasr, Ronaldo's total annual income has reached $275 million, of which $160 million was earned from sports contracts and $115 million from advertising and other business activities.

In this list, American basketball star Stephen Curry is second with $156 million, and British boxer Tyson Fury is third with $146 million.

Another surprising change was that Argentina's World Cup-winning captain, Lionel Messi, who had previously been at the top, has moved to fifth place this time.

Ronaldo's consistent high performance and off-field commercial value have made him not only a sporting legend but also a big name in the business world.
