People pay you for the value you can deliver

Too Much Money for a single individual?

Of course, they were those who were of the opinion that it was too much: seriously how can a single individual have such an amount attached to him just for kicking a ball around a field for ninety minutes?

It was such a heated issue that the owners of the football club who bought him faced a protest from some of their workers in their other line businesses. 

After all, why pay such a huge sum for one individual? What about them working away in the factories? Surely their work counts for something? Why give one person that kind of money when several people lives can benefit from that kind of money?

Now, of course, their work is work. But could they as individuals bring in a profit to the owners as Ronaldo can?

People pay you for the value you can deliver

Now, the day the new t-shirt bearing Ronaldo’s name for his new club was launched they sold $60million worth of it which if you check is almost half the money he was bought for from his former club and that was just in 24hrs. Yes, 24 hours.

And that’s just the t-shirt there was no mention of things like the shorts, socks, branded football boots, away kits, jacket and a host of other items which I can’t all name here and we still haven’t touched how much it will cost to buy a ticket to watch him actually play.

 It will be fair to say that the Club owners are well on their way in not only getting the money they paid to buy him but will also profit and profit good barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The moral of the story here is that people pay for value. And Ronaldo as made himself very, very valuable.

He makes a lot of money for his employers. That’s why he gets paid what we may see as a ridiculous amount.

Apart from his regular salary as a football player, Ronaldo makes a lot of money from sponsorship deals. 

He is one of three athletes that has a lifetime sponsorship deal with Nike. 

The other two are Michael Jordan and LeBron James. The deal itself is worth about a $1billion. 

Now that you understand why Ronaldo is considered so valuable. I want us to take a look at what he did to make himself that valuable, that is apart from the obvious he plays good football. 

Think, if you can create such value or be of such value yourself you will be smiling all the way to the bank wouldn’t you? 

Fortunately what he did and is still doing is something you can copy if you’re determined.

So it’s time we went behind closed doors. It’s time you found out what he does that makes him such an amazing footballer that is highly paid.
