In an interview in December, three-time FIFA Ballon D’Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo said he would take a clean break from football and live like a king.
He specifically said he would not be going into coaching or scheming to become the president of any football club.
Well, the Portuguese star may have started building his ‘estate’ to ensure he really gets to enjoy the life he envisioned for himself.
The 31-year-old, who said he may not retire from the game until he’s 35 or 40, has acquired a luxury hotel in the “most exclusive area” of Monte Carlo for a whopping £105 million (app. N65.5 billion).
The deal was believed to have been brokered with the collaboration of American presidential hopeful Donald Trump and an Italian real estate agent, Spanish sport paper MARCA reported.
The deal was reportedly completed last week.
Ronaldo has been known to collaborate with the billionaire Trump on other investment ventures, with a purchase of a £13 million-worth apartment in Trump Tower, New York in August 2015 readily coming to mind.
