Ronaldo is not the most expensive player of all time anymore but he is still, arguable, the best. The 2014 Ballon D’or winner’s new deal now earns a record £292,000-per-week after tax making him the highest earning footballer in the world. He has so far scored 22 goals in 21 La Liga games this year and although his wages may seem ridiculous to some, he certainly does his best to justify it.
