Saudi Arabia
When we talk about Saudi Arabia, we automatically think about petroleum and riches. Because of its wealth, we don’t wonder why the Middle Eastern country hopes to host the 2030 World Cup. In 2022, it tapped Cristiano Ronaldo as its ambassador following the star player’s shocking exit from Manchester United.
According to the Daily Mail, the Portuguese athlete will pocket at least $175 million per year in the contract. However, on top of this lucrative deal, Ronaldo will have to work with his long-time rival Lionel Messi for the campaign. Perhaps, this woman’s smile will be once she sees these stars in her home country.
