SOCCER MEGASTAR CRISTIANO RONALDO’S SHREWD INVESTMENTS AND MASSIVE BUSINESS EMPIRE..
SOUND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT LESSONS FOR CELEBRITIES,ENTERTAINERS,ATHLETES AND SPORTSMEN......
In a world where lots of people are driven by luxury, wasteful expenditure, and grandiose lifestyles to impress people, in the end, these people most especially celebrities, athletes, musicians, actors, and sportsmen end up broke at the end of their glamorous career, they end up begging for money at the slightest health challenge or financial distress...On the 19th of November 2019 I stumbled on a newspaper story on the shrewd investments made by Soccer megastar Cristiano Ronaldo who is at the closing stages of his sporting career which has spanned around 21 years now, at 38 years Ronaldo has won lots of individual and collective sporting silverware including endorsements deals with wages close to $1b, he is plying his trade presently in the less glamorous Saudi-Arabia professional league where he signed a deal worth a whooping $143m.
Today Examples flying around are the case of Mr. Ibu Nollywood star entertainer who was on the verge of amputating his leg of a serious health issue, same goes for Hans Anuku and Amaechi Mounagor both Nollywood top entertainers, in the last 20 years of living memory we have seen musicians, entertainers, actors and sportsmen requesting for one financial assistance once they found themselves in distress arising from wastefulness and lack of diligent financial planning and wise investments in their active career years.
The case of boxing superstar Mike Tyson who became the world heavyweight boxing champion at a young age, later hugging fame and fortune along the way Mike Tyson earned a whopping $300M in earnings from the sport alongside other lucrative deals as a sports star..The sad story was Mike Tyson embarked on a wasteful expenditure of buying Tigers, expensive jewelry, and houses consuming a vast sum of his over $300m on wasteful adventure resulting in regrets. Tyson became broke moving from one financial problem to another alongside legal matters with the authorities in the US..
The long and short of Tyson's financial debacle was that during the years of financial windfall, he would have made wise and shrewd investments in assets that will continue to grow and expand over time creating a perpetual stream of wealth creation.
We also would not forget superstar musician Micheal Jackson who after the years of his glory as a Pop Sensation had financial troubles as a result of wasteful expenditure and a lack of financial discipline, intelligence, and shrewdness..
Cristiano Ronaldo from the recent report by Nigerian sports daily has amassed a fortune by dint of wise investments, financial planning, and astute fiscal wizardly with investments in vast hotel chains under the CR7 Brand, a Media company, and Inspaya medical clinic hair transplant outfits, infact it was adduced by the report that he has his hand’s fulls once he retires from the round leather game which is irrevocable certainty, due to age and fitness because no football or sporting franchise will invest its money on old junkies..
The message to everyone that financial discipline, wise investments, and prudent use of resources are the sure gateway to financial fortune, ease, and progress, a great legendary example is Warren Buffet who amassed a fortune of over $85B from investments spanning over 60 years, the Buffet lessons is that making money work for you is arguably the wisest decision any individual can make in life rather than a culture of wastefulness and lacking in financial intelligence.
