Cristiano Ronaldo Poised to Rival Beckham’s Post-Retirement Success
Cristiano Ronaldo is being tipped to emulate David Beckham’s off-pitch achievements as he builds a vast business empire and ventures into new territories, including a record-breaking YouTube channel.
Ronaldo’s Expansive Business Portfolio
Ronaldo’s entrepreneurial ventures began well before thoughts of retirement. The Portuguese star boasts a diverse portfolio that includes:
- Hospitality: The highly praised Pestana CR7 hotel chain.
- Fashion and Lifestyle: The CR7 clothing line and a hair transplant clinic that position him as a fashion and lifestyle mogul.
- Fitness: Multiple gyms under his CR7 brand, further diversifying his reach.
Parallels to Beckham’s Success
David Beckham has set the gold standard for post-football success with ventures like ownership of Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and a stake in Salford City. Beckham’s seamless transition into business has inspired Ronaldo to follow suit, with the Portuguese icon expressing interest in owning a football club and expanding his enterprise.
Ronaldo’s Vision for the Future
Speaking at a recent event, Ronaldo revealed his ambitions for retirement:
- “I don’t rule out becoming a club owner,” he said.
- On his business aspirations: “I’m excited for a new chapter that will also be a challenge for me.”
Ronaldo’s drive and focus, coupled with his existing ventures, make him well-positioned to achieve a legacy that mirrors or even surpasses Beckham’s success beyond the pitch.
