The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, 37, is on a reported salary of £26.52m-a-year but almost half of his eye-watering earnings are deducted from his final pay packet.
Under current tax regulations, the government claimed 45 per cent of any income above £150k – with Ronaldo more than comfortably in no.10’s additional tax rate threshold.
Pocketing more than three times the upper limit every week, Ronaldo is on a jaw dropping £510,000-a-week at Old Trafford.
But the five-time Champions League winner is forced to give back almost half his yearly salary. The taxman claims a staggering £12.78m, according to the research carried out by RIFT Tax Refunds.
That, though, still leaves Ronaldo with a mind-boggling take-home wage of £13.74m-a-year.
