Ronaldo has already hit in excess of 20 million views on three separate videos.
According to a research by Thinkific, YouTube channels can make close to USD 6 per 1,000 views, taking the amount to a range between USD 1,200 to USD 6,000 per one million views.
At the time of writing, Ronaldo has crossed 100 million views on YouTube. Along with his star attraction, ad revenue and signed sponsorships as a result of the recent YouTube success, Ronaldo could have already earned well in excess of a few hundred million USD.
The Portuguese forward currently sits on over 30 million YouTube subscribers, featuring videos with his son Cristiano Jr and partner Georgina Rodriguez, on topics such as ranking his Euro goals, freekick challenges or ‘This or That’ games.
