Cristiano Ronaldo faced disciplinary action from the Portuguese Federation, yet the financial fine imposed on him is negligible compared to his enormous earnings.
Specifically, according to relevant reports, the Portuguese superstar was punished with a 30-day suspension from the national team, while simultaneously being called upon to pay a fine of 255 euros, following his departure from the squad of Portugal in the context of its commitments in the Nations League.
The amount, of course, can hardly be considered large for a footballer with the financial earnings of CR7. The Portuguese newspaper A Bola attempted to capture the difference between the fine and the income of the 40-year-old ace, calculating how much time he needs to cover this specific amount.
According to calculations, 255 euros correspond to just 36 seconds of work for Ronaldo, taking into account his annual earnings from Al Nassr. In fact, the sum represents merely 0.00012% of his annual salary, according to the publication.
This detail captures in a characteristic manner the financial scale of the Portuguese star’s earnings, for whom a fine of a few hundred euros has minimal impact on his overall income.
Although the financial part of the punishment is negligible for him, the 30-day suspension constitutes the most significant part of the penalty, as it affects his participation in the national team.
