Cristiano Ronaldo is earning more than a million Ghana cedis for every goal he scores after signing the most ridiculous and lucrative contract in sports history.
The 40-year-old Portuguese superstar has just inked a mind-blowing two-year extension with Al-Nassr worth at least £492 million (GH₵7.87 billion), keeping him in Saudi Arabia until he's 42.
Breaking down these absolutely mental figures, Ronaldo's now pocketing £488,000 (GH₵ 7.8 million) every single day just in basic wages. That's more than most people earn in a lifetime, and he gets it for rolling out of bed.

His yearly salary alone comes to £178 million (GH₵ 2.85 billion), but that's just the start. There's a £24.5 million (GH₵ 392 million) signing bonus that jumps to £38 million (GH₵ 608 million) if he stays for the second year.

The Saudis are so desperate to keep their poster boy that they've thrown in a 15% stake in the club worth £33 million (GH₵ 528 million).
Add in performance bonuses of £4 million (GH₵ 64 million) for top scorer, £8 million (GH₵ 128 million) if Al-Nassr win the league, and he could bank over half a billion quid.
But wait, there's more. Ronaldo gets £80,000 (GH₵ 1.28 million) for every goal and £40,000 (GH₵ 640,000) per assist, with both rising by 20% in year two.
