After a disappointing season, the soccer superstar is eyeing the exit at Barcelona, but he still is on pace to reach $1 billion in career earnings, only the fourth to do so after Tiger Woods, Floyd Mayweather and, yes, Cristiano Ronaldo.

, who tallied $550 million in career earnings during his 15 years playing for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, remains the world’s only billionaire athlete, the bulk of his fortune created by a well-timed investment in the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets.

Ronaldo, who is two years older, has become the world’s most popular celebrity with 443 million social followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter — and the most marketable athlete in the world too. According to Hookit, which tracks social media sponsorship value, from January to July this year, he created $28 million in value for the brands he promoted through 275 social media posts and the 873 engagements with them.
