Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema: Highest-Paid Men's Footballers in 2023
2018 Men's World Cup Captivated Global Audience
Women's World Cup Viewership Lags Behind Men's Version
Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have emerged as the highest-paid men's footballers, according to a recent Forbes report. This dominance reflects the popularity and financial success of the sport worldwide.
The 2018 Men's World Cup drew a staggering 36 billion viewers, reaching almost half the world's population. In contrast, the 2019 Women's World Cup attracted only 764 million viewers, a significant disparity despite the growing interest in women's football.
Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr has secured his position at the top of the earnings list with an estimated total income of $260 million. Lionel Messi, formerly the highest-paid footballer, and Cristiano Ronaldo continue to dominate the top spots, expecting to earn over $100 million each this season.
