Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, also known as ‘Billionaires Island,’ is home to the world’s uber rich. If actors, entrepreneurs, and investment bankers can find their way to Dubai’s red-hot real estate enclave, can Cristiano Ronaldo be far behind? Known in sports circles for his spending habits, Ronaldo has now reportedly bought a palatial mansion in Jumeirah Bay. This comes as the Portuguese superstar’s first major investment in 2024. And CR7 choosing Dubai as a destination for his new abode is not surprising, considering his frequent visits to the United Arab Emirates.

Ronaldo’s new abode is part of a gated community that offers a myriad of luxurious amenities and the utmost privacy at the same time. The Al Nassr star, Georgina Rodriguez, and their kids are likely going to have the time of their lives in this new cozy nest.

According to ‘Emaratalyoum,’ Bloomberg reported that Cristiano Ronaldo bought a 30,000-square-foot mansion on Billionaires Island. Per the report, Ronaldo’s new home consists of six bedrooms, a parking lot that can house seven cars, and a rooftop swimming pool. In addition to this, the property provides a view of downtown Dubai. Furthermore, the gated community at Jumeirah will give CR7 access to a private beach and a yacht club. Most properties in this luxurious enclave cover an area of 20,000 to 45,000 square feet. And most are valued at more than $27 million.

Dubai has always been a vacation destination for Cristiano Ronaldo. Now, he can easily call the place a second home. Since real estate prices in the Jumeirah Bay area continue to surge and are attracting celebrities like Ronaldo, this was indeed a great buy for the Portuguese man. Anyhow, the CR7 is not the only sporting icon to have splurged on Dubai real estate.
