Love him or hate him, but there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (unless you are living under a rock). The 34-year-old Portuguese forward who embarked on his journey to becoming the legend he is today when he was 16, has played for several football clubs including Manchester United and Real Madrid. However, Ronaldo recently signed a four-year contract with Italian club Juventus against a whopping $129.3 million (Rs. 852 Crores) deal.
Obviously money isn’t a problem for this sporting genius. And the legendary footballer leaving Rs.16 lakh as a tip at a hotel is proof how rich he is. Apart from shocking the audiences with his on-ground tactics, he also has a flair for bling. He is often seen sporting fancy watches, rings, bracelets and earrings.

Ronaldo was recently spotted wearing a bejewelled blingy watch while attending the 14th Dubai International Sports Conference with wife Georgina Rodríguez. HT reports that the Rolex watch that the Juventus striker wore is the most expensive watch to have ever been produced by the company.
As reported by The Sun, the rare Rolex watch, the GMT-Master Ice that the star wore is made of 18-karat white gold and is studded with 30 carats of white diamonds. Ronaldo is also seen wearing the watch in one of his Instagram posts with wife Georgina Rodriguez.
And before I tell you the price of the watch, please keep your heart rate monitor with you. The bedazzled watch costs approximately USD 485,350 (Rs 3.48 crore approx.). This means even both your kidneys aren’t enough. According to sources, you can buy around 7 BMW X1 (new 2020 facelift model) cars in India with that amount.
Why is the watch so DAMN expensive, you ask? Well, it features Rolex’s older GMT movement which is the calibre 3186. Apart from being water-resistant, it also has a power reserve of 48 hours. It’s not the only thing that is making headlines. Ronaldo was also spotted with an iPod that according to Business Insider, Apple hasn’t updated in almost 8 years.
