From an impoverished family room to a top-of-the-crest mansion in Madrid, Spain, soccer heartthrob Cristiano Ronaldo has come a long way, working his talents to death to reach the pinnacle of football success and taste the ultimate in luxurious living.
Every bit sophisticated and rich from the tiniest fashion statement to the exquisite swimming pool, the modern mansion is a study in style and substance, as stunning and as flamboyant as its owner - CR 7! And boy! Doesn’t he love to show off his house on Instagram?
Here’s a virtual tour of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s dream home where he chills out with his four kids, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, twins Eva and Mateo, baby daughter Alana Martina and girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez.
The 8,600 sq ft house has seven bedrooms with the kids’ nursery being the comfiest of them all. Painted in neutral shades and sporting all facilities kids would need, the room reflects a happy father’s love and thoughtfulness.
One enters the house with a grand flourish. The artistically done grand front door bears the footballer’s initials CR on the metal detailing. A Buddha statue on the ground sets in a mood of serenity. Despite its opulence, the place has a spiritual aura around it. Another Buddha bust in the garden is of special interest.
An elegant hallway, stairway and flooring in marble are the interior highlights. Every nook and cranny of the Ronaldo mansion bears the unmistakable stamp of a footballer his detractors would love to hate.
The walls have almost all of Cristiano’s memorable football moments in frames. His happy moments with his family also find place here. The bedspreads scream out who the man is with CR7 boldly imprinted on them.
Ronaldo loves his dining table around which the family sits down for moments of lighthearted banter and food. The chandeliers and candelabra are exquisite pieces of finery. The dining room walls double up as picture galleries.
There’s a mini football pitch outside where the four-time European Golden Shoe winner practices. A well-equipped gym, swimming pool and Jacuzzi are other highlights of the Ronaldo realm.
The house has been given a value of $4.5 million, which means it has a worth of over Rs 50 crore.
