Cristiano Ronaldo Has Sold His Swanky SR94 Million Private Jet
One of the most prized possessions that Ronaldo had in his vast empire was a custom Gulfstream G200, of which there are only 250 in the world. He put it up for sale in July, and now, as per a report in the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, he has found a buyer for it.
The exact price and the name of the owner have not been disclosed.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner paid $25 million for it in 2015. Ronaldo has posted quite a bit from his private jet, including that famous livestream after he first signed up for Al Nassr FC.

So why did he sell it?
Mundo Deportiva suggests that Ronaldo sold the plane to upgrade to a bigger jet, as it can only transport up to four passengers and a few crew members—not enough for his large family, which now comprises seven members.
With Ronaldo now being the highest-paid footballer on the planet with his $200 million Al Nassr FC deal, he can clearly afford a much bigger one.
Recently, British journalist Piers Morgan gave an insight into Ronaldo’s life in Saudi Arabia when quizzed by British magazine Tatler. Morgan revealed, “I’ve swapped a few texts with him, and he’s absolutely loving it, on and off the pitch.”
