For context, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the best-paid footballer in the world, with the Portugal legend allegedly pocketing a mouthwatering £3.4 million at Al-Nassr.

According to Radio Times, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward landed the contract after a mutual termination of his contract at Manchester United in late 2022.

What is more? The wives and partners of these wealthy footballers have gone on to tap into the popularity, networks, and influence to create their own income streams through them.

Sports Brief takes a look at the top 10 most affluent football couples in the world, per GiveMeSports:

10. Raheem Sterling and Paige Milian - £36.8m

The couple has an estimated net worth of £36.8m

Sterling has made a fortune in football since getting to the scene with Liverpool. The winger has gone on to play for Manchester City, and now Chelsea.

His partner, Paige Milian, is understood to be a qualified accountant and a co-owner of the real estate company Milian Property, which she co-owns with the England international.

9. Thomas and Lisa Muller - £44.1m

Muller is one of the most famous German footballers.

Away from football, the Germany international is a serious entrepreneur, alongside his wife, Lisa, who he met in 2007.

The couple owns a stud farm where show horses can be trained.

8. Ann-Kathrin and Mario Gotze - £68.1m

Another German on the list.

While Gotze has made a fortune from football, his wife Ann-Kathrin is a model.

She is one of the most famous models in Germany, shooting for the likes of GQ and FHM.

7. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Ana Ivanovic - £84.9m

A legend in his own right, Schweinsteiger is one of the most iconic midfielders of his generation.

His partner, Ana Ivanovic, has also made a name for herself in sports, with Serbian being a renowned tennis player.

6. Robert Lewandowski and Anna Lewandowska - £104.2m

Lewandowski is one of the greatest strikers of the current generation. The Polish forward won almost everything at Bayern Munich before he moved to Barcelona.

Apparently, Lewa is also winning off the pitch, with the Barca star married to Anna.

Anna was also a sports athlete, competing internationally in karate.

5. Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio - £120.2m

Sergio Ramos has enjoyed a successful career that has seen him win almost every available trophy to lift.

The legendary defender is married to Rubio, a Spanish TV presenter and reporter with whom he has been for over a decade.

The couple has four kids together.

4. Wayne and Coleen Rooney - £181.2m

The Manchester United legend made a name for himself as one of the greatest forwards in the world at Old Trafford.

While his managerial career has not turned out as he had hoped, the former England international is apparently among the wealthiest football personalities.

Rooney is married to Coleen, whom he has known since he was a teenager.

3. Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo - £182m

Messi is among the few footballers who have made a fortune from their sheer talent.

The Argentine football star is one of the richest in the world, alongside his wife, Roccuzzo.

The pair met when they were still kids, but only went public with their relationship in 2008 before they married in 2017.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez - £410.5m

Ronaldo and Georgina are the second wealthiest football couple in the world.

The pair's net worth is nearly four times that of Messi and Roccuzzo.

Georgina has made a name for herself in the world of influencing as a model.

1. David and Victoria Beckham - £412.1m

Finally on this list is the Beckhams.

The Beckhams are understandably the most prosperous football couple, with David being one of the most influential football figures years after his retirement.

The legendary No.7 has made several investments in the sports, with the former Manchester United star co-owning MLS side Inter Miami.

Ronaldo's happy with Saudi Arabia's culture

Sports Brief also previously reported on Ronaldo's sister praising Saudi Arabia’s culture of respect and safety, which has helped the family settle in the country.

Katie Aveiro, who moved to the Middle East when her brother transferred to the league and has adapted seamlessly, claimed no one disrespects them in Riyadh.
