Cristiano Ronaldo Profile

Cristiano Ronaldo is considered to be one of the most well-known figures in the world of sports. In addition, he was also one of the highest-paid endorsers in sports history.

In November 2016, he was the third person to earn a "lifetime" contract from the athleisure company Nike. Other athletes who earned the same contract were Michael Jordan and LeBron James, according to Britannica.
