Cristiano Ronaldo continues to break records even at the age of 40.

The Portuguese star of Al-Nassr has been declared the highest-paid footballer in the world for 2025, according to the latest list published by the prestigious magazine Forbes, leaving behind his eternal rival Lionel Messi and other big names in modern football.

Ronaldo leads the way with $280 million in annual earnings (around €239 million), surpassing Messi by more than double his earnings. The Inter Miami forward is in second place with $130 million (€111 million).

Top 10 highest paid footballers in the world for 2025 (according to Forbes):

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr) – $280 million (€239 million)
Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) – $130 million (€111 million)
Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad) – $104 million (€89 million)
Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) – $95 million (€81 million)
Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – $80 million (€68 million)
Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid) – $60 million (€51 million)
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – $55 million (€47 million)
Sadio Mané (Al-Nassr) – $54 million (€46 million)
Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) – $44 million (€38 million)
Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) – $43 million (€37 million)
The majority of Ronaldo's earnings come from a record contract with Saudi club Al-Nassr, but also from sponsorships and off-field activities, where he remains one of the most powerful figures in global sports. He continues to maintain a portfolio of businesses and deals that include brands such as Nike, Herbalife, CR7 and many more.

Meanwhile, the biggest surprise on the list is undoubtedly Lamine Yamal. At just 18 years old, the Barcelona talent comes in at number 10, making him the youngest player ever to make the Forbes list. With $43 million in annual earnings, Yamal is already one of the most coveted names in the world of football, both on and off the pitch.
