However, it's important to consider different aspects of wealth:

Annual income: Currently, Ronaldo is earning more.

Net worth: Messi has a higher estimated net worth, possibly due to investments and other ventures.

Future earnings: Ronaldo's future earnings might decrease after his playing career ends, while Messi's could potentially increase with future endorsements and ventures.

Overall, it's hard to definitively say who's "richer" as it depends on the chosen metric and what you consider. Both Ronaldo and Messi are incredibly successful athletes with substantial wealth.
