Cristiano Ronaldo is looking to sell his Trump Tower Condo even if he doesn’t get what he wants for it. According to a report by the New York Post (per Vanity Fair), the soccer superstar has listed the apartment for $7.75 million after paying $18.5 million for it in 2015. The condo was previously owned by Italian real estate mogul, Alessandro Proto who is also a business partner of Donald Trump. Ronaldo was urged to sell the condo when Trump became president in 2017.
In 2019, Ronaldo listed the property for $9 million but had to slash the price again due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of offers. This cut won’t be a major loss for Ronaldo as his current net worth is $500 million and makes $70 million per year. Last year, it was reported that Ronaldo became the first soccer player in history to reach $1 billion in earnings.
