Cristiano Ronaldo is now the highest-paid athlete of any sport.
With a Real Madrid salary in the tens of millions and some of the biggest endorsement deals in football, he has a ludicrous amount of cash to burn.
Find out how he earns his money and what he spends all that cash on below.

Ronaldo earned $88 million (£61 million) in the last 12 months according to Forbes, making him the highest-paid sports star in the world.
More than a third of that ($32 million/£22 million) was from endorsement deals with companies like Tag Heuer and Nike.
In fact, he rakes in over $13 million (£9 million) from his Nike deal alone.
He also has deals with companies like Herbalife, Castrol, Samsung, and KFC.
The sponsorship deals are on top of his mega-contract with Real Madrid, which pays him $50 million (£35 million) a year in salary and bonuses.
If he ever leaves Madrid, the team that buys him will have to pay the club $1 BILLION (£690.5 million) in a buy-out.
So what does he spend his money on? One of Ronaldo's biggest hobbies is cars. He drives a $300,000 (£207,000) Lamborghini Aventador.
He also reportedly owns a Bentley, a Porsche, and a Mercedes, among others.
He lives in a $7.1 million (£5 million) villa in La Finca — an exclusive community in Madrid built by architect Joaquin Torres.
it's really, ridiculously nice.
Speaking of property, in 2015 he reportedly dropped $18.5 million (£13 million) on an apartment in Manhattan's Trump Towers.
He's also been spotted wearing a $160,000 Jacob and Co. watch — a perk of having an endorsement deal with the company.
