A recent interview with Cristiano Ronaldo has gone viral after he spoke candidly about his wealth and spending habits. Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ronaldo compared reaching billionaire status to winning major football awards, saying financial milestones give him the same sense of pride as breaking records on the pitch.
He revealed that his most expensive purchase to date is a private jet, adding, “I can buy whatever I want, but I don’t need it.” The jet, a Bombardier Global Express XRS, reportedly features a custom design and luxury interior and is valued at around $57 million.
Ronaldo also said he owns roughly 42 luxury cars — though even he admits he’s lost track — describing them more as investments than vehicles he actually drives. The comments have reignited criticism around excessive wealth and environmental impact, particularly tied to private aviation and large car collections, placing the football star at the center of a broader debate beyond sport.
