Cristiano Ronaldo’s Insanely Expensive Rolex Stole the Show In Dubai
Never one to shy away from the spotlight — on or off the field — Cristiano Ronaldo wore an estimated $824,440 worth of jewelry, on one hand, at the Dubai International Sports Conference. According to Fox Business, the 34-year-old Juventus football star wore a $497,040 Rolex GMT-Master Ice.
He matched the watch with a custom engagement ring valued at $262,000 and a diamond wedding band valued at $65,400, according to the Daily Mail.
At almost half a million dollars, the GMT-Master Ice is the most expensive watch Rolex has ever made. The timepiece is constructed from 18-carat white gold and 30 carats of diamonds.
The Portuguese player appeared unfazed by his expensive timepiece as he spoke onstage at the conference. Perhaps that's because the accessory makes up a fraction of the $47.8 million he earned from Instagram alone this year.
Back in October, Ronaldo was listed as Instagram’s highest earner, eclipsing the likes of Lionel Messi and the Jenner sisters. He made 34 sponsored posts on the platform over the past year, which would see him clear a tidy $1.4 million per post.
