Cristiano Ronaldo Net Worth - Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed a wealthy man. And proof to that was his lavish wedding gift to super-agent Jorge Mendez and his wife-to-be Sandra Barbosa when they tied the knot in Porto on Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has an estimated net worth of $310 million, just gave an absolutely ridiculous wedding present. The 30-year-old Real Madrid footballer might be having a hard time on deciding what to give a man who has everything. So, as a best man, he just bought his longtime confidant and representative a Greek island, Euro Sport revealed.

Since Greece has been facing a major financial crisis, a number of its islands were put up for sale. And with Cristiano Ronaldo's hefty net worth, the Portuguese footballer took advantage and purchased a whole Greek island with an estimated price ranging from €3 million to €50 million ($3.3 to $54.8 million), Move Noticias reported.

It seems that no one could beat Cristiano Ronaldo's extraordinary present during the glitzy wedding of super-agent Jorge Mendes, who is dubbed as one of the most powerful men in football and has brokered over £1 billion of transfer deals, on Sunday in northwest Portugal's coastal city of Porto. According to Daily Mail, the ceremony was attended by 400 guests including the likes of James Rodriguez, Fabio Coentrao, Deco, Jose Bosingwa and Pepe. Also among the guests were Sir Alex Ferguson and Real Madrid President Florentino Perez.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is largely attributed to his salary and endorsements. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Ronaldo earns a base salary of $40 million while off the field, he earns an additional $40 million from endorsements.

In his football career, Ronaldo is considered as the most expensive football player in history after his transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009. In terms of salary, he has the second highest football salary in any league. And when it comes to endorsement earnings, he is the second athlete after David Beckham. Whereas in social media, Ronaldo has more Twitter followers than any other athlete in the world and Facebook's most popular athlete, The Richest noted.

Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo's Greek island acquisition will affect his current net worth value?
