CRISTIANO RONALDO has showed off his ridiculously expensive watch – but it still only cost the Al-Nassr ace a tiny portion of his huge wealth.
The 38-year-old became the highest earning sportsperson in the world when he made his high-profile switch to Saudi Arabia at the end of last year.
He makes an estimated £173m a year from his wages and commercial activities at Al-Nassr.
It is safe to say Ronaldo is making use of his spare change as he showed off a beautiful watch on Instagram.
The star poses in a stylish polo shirt and grips a white mug on his Instagram story.
But eyes were quickly drawn to the object on his wrist – a £750,000-valued watch from Jacob & Co.

The dazzling device immediately draws attention with its blue colour scheme and majestic design.
It would have cost Ronaldo a pretty penny but the forward has more than enough in the bank after more than a decade of being one of the planet’s biggest sporting stars.
He is the most popular athlete online with a combined 855million social media followers and makes an estimated £3.3m-a-week.
And all of that attention brings commercial opportunities which props up his already huge wage packets.
