Ronaldinho Salary & Net Worth
How much did Ronaldo de Assís Moreira Ronaldinho earn?Ronaldo de Assís Moreira Ronaldinho has a net worth of...80 Million Euros (90 Million Dollars)
A glittering football career and a host of well-paid sponsorship deals saw him amass a net worth of about 80 Million Euros in his career. Sadly, all the money is now gone. We are extremely disappointed by his lack of financial skills. He's living proof that you can't be good at everything. Nike, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, EA Sports, Gatorade, and Danon all benefited from his global image. But a poor choice of investments after his footballing career saw his net worth dwindle. He was left with just a little over 5 Pounds Sterling in his account and owed more than 1.5 million GBP, which means he has got no money left in the bank as of now. What a sad story for one of the greatest talents that football has ever seen.
Current Job
What does Ronaldinho currently do?He took up a job as Brazil's tourism ambassador after his investments failed. We didn't know that he had to serve food as part of the deal. Looks good though! (Image: imgur.com)
Iconic Moments
Free Kick versus England in 2002
The Quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup and Paul Scholes takes out Kleberson about 35 yards or so from the goal. David Seaman was in goal for England, and a relatively unheard player steps up to take the free-kick. Nobody expected O Rei to score. He was supposed to deliver a cross from the dead ball, but our man, the genius that he is, saw Seaman marginally off the line and went for the far post and scored a scintillating goal. It won the game for Brazil and put the forward on the map. He was coveted by club giants and eventually moved to FC Barcelona in 2003. The rest, as they say, is history. (Image: imgur.com)
Standing Ovation From The Bernabeu
This was one of his best-ever performances for the Catalan club. A cold November evening in 2005, Barcelona visited the capital to play in one of the most fiercely contested derbies in club football. The Bernabeu is no easy place to visit. He knows that, but the sheer panache with which he approached this game meant only one thing. A bucket load of entertainment for the Catalan club's fans and an egg on the face moment for the Whites. His brace and the performance captivated the Bernabeu to such an extent that they gave him a standing ovation. No one but Maradona had received one from the Madrid faithful as a Barcelona player up until that point. (Image: imgur.com)
Prison Time
The famous TV series Prison Break follows the story of a young man who gets into prison to break his brother free. This real-life story is about how our footballer was let down in part by his older sibling. After having his passport confiscated, he was stuck in Brazil. But one day, he receives a packet that contains a passport that lets him travel to Paraguay. Turns out, the document was a fake, and our footballer didn't know about this. His argument was that he thought that it was a gift. Knowing what we know about him, we kind of believe the story. His brother should have known better. For future reference, do not accept government documents from strangers. (Image: imgur.com)
Love Life - Single, Girlfriend or Wife?

Meet Beatriz, his fiancee. She looks really pretty, but we're questioning her motivations, and we've got a very good reason for that. (Image: imgur.com)
Ronaldo de Assís Moreira Ronaldinho Fiancee - Priscilla Coelho
Priscilla Coelho would be that reason. She's his fiancee too. He made headlines when he proposed to both these women, and they accepted. Polygamy is not a bad plan if you're The King. (Image: imgur.com)

He has treated them well, and they looked happy. But rumors about a split have surfaced. He has refused to comment on it, and we respect his privacy. (Image: imgur.com)
Family - Get to know them
Ronaldinho Brother - Roberto
Meet Roberto. Our footballer's older brother. He looks clueless about how things work in the world. The suave black attire doesn't cover up that fact. (Image: imgur.com)
Ronaldinho Mother - Miguelina
No matter what, he has been very good to his family. We love that kind of commitment. Mum's celebrating her birthday and has to be incredibly proud of her boy. He's quite the talent. (Image: imgur.com)
Ronaldinho Car - What does he drive?
Lamborghini
When it comes to the flashy lifestyle, there are not many that can compete with Brazilian footballers. He has owned many fast cars, and the Lambo is one of them. He even goes for gaudy colors when he picks a car. (Image: imgur.com)
BMW
This BMW was confiscated by the authorities when they figured out that he couldn't pay his debt. It looks dull and not something like he'd drive. Was it even his car? (Image: imgur.com)
House - Where does he live?
Location: Porto Alegre, Brazil
This property in Brazil was seized too. The cars were picked up from here. Now that he's in prison, he doesn't have to worry about finding a place to stay. He'll have to think through things whilst in there and make better choices when he's outside again. (Image: imgur.com)
