Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Madeira, Portugal. The dynamic striker has played on numerous teams throughout his career. He started in 2002 with Sporting Club of Portugal. The following year he signed on with Manchester United. This came with a transfer fee around $19 million dollars – a small price to pay for the greatest player in the world at that time.

Ronaldo signed a five-year deal, which paid him over $2 million dollars annually. He inked his final extension in 2007, which raised his pay over $7 million annually.

Ronaldo played in England for six seasons before he left and signed on with Real Madrid in Spain. The transfer fee this time was a record $131 million dollars, and his new six-year deal earned him $17 million per year.
