Cristiano Ronaldo to make $75 million a year?

doubledragon

Is there something I'm missing here? Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is going to sign a contract worth $75 million a year with the Saudi Arabia soccer league, I believe the contract goes until 2030. What is it about soccer, why do these guys make so much?

52 weeks in a year, and that's what, he's going to make over $1 million a week?

If I had my life to do over again, I would get rich, it's sad the food I have to eat, nothing brand name, I have to settle for Prongles instead of Pringles.

It's my dream to be able to taste an actual Kit Kat bar, but alas, I must settle for this cheap imitation.
