Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world’s wealthiest footballers, has once again demonstrated his penchant for luxury by acquiring a new private jet. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has purchased a Bombardier Global Express 6500 private jet worth an astonishing ₦80 billion (€50 million). This latest addition to his enviable lifestyle cements his status as one of the richest footballers, having earned well over $1.7 billion just from playing football alone.
What Makes the Bombardier Global Express 6500 Special?
The Bombardier Global Express 6500 is no ordinary jet. With space for 17 passengers, it offers unparalleled comfort, boasting state-of-the-art individual seating, plush sofas, private suites, and even a separate shower. The jet also features a cabin equipped with workspaces and dining areas, making it perfect for Ronaldo’s blend of business and leisure.
A Personal Touch
Its exterior is just as remarkable, with Ronaldo’s iconic goal celebration silhouette and personalized logo emblazoned on the access doors, making it unmistakably his. Recently, Ronaldo and his family were spotted enjoying this flying palace during a Christmas holiday in Lapland before returning to Saudi Arabia1.
The Cost of Luxury
While the market price for a second-hand Bombardier 6500 starts at ₦64 billion (€40 million), Ronaldo’s model, with its customized features, reportedly pushed the price to ₦80 billion (€50 million). But for a man raking in over ₦320 billion (€200 million) annually at Al-Nassr, this jaw-dropping splurge is nothing more than pocket change in his opulent lifestyle1.
The Takeaway
Ronaldo’s latest purchase proves that when it comes to living the high life, he remains in a league of his own. His new Bombardier Global Express 6500 is not just a mode of transportation but a statement of his success and taste for luxury.
