Since meeting Ronaldo while working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Spain, life has spurn for good for Georgina Rodriguez. The Spanish beauty says it was “love at first sight” when the pair bumped into each other in 2016.
Ronaldo’s antecedents with women aren’t one to write home about, but Georgina seems to have found a special place in the heart of the Portuguese superstar. Their four-year relationship already produced a daughter, Alana, although Ronaldo has three other kids from different women.
Despite her looks, Georgina has gone through the motions in life. Her father, Jorge, a former footballer, spent 10 years in jail for drug trafficking. To make ends meet Georgina started working as a waitress while still a teenager. She even worked briefly in England as an au pair. But she developed her language skill and returned to Spain where she landed the job with Gucci.
Today, Georgina receives a monthly income worth £80,000-per-month from Ronaldo to fund her lavish lifestyle. That doesn’t include the £6600 she makes per post to her 16 million followers on Instagram per Corriere dello Sport..
Here are 10 popular players who don’t earn as much as £80k-per-month like Georgina.
The wages quoted here have mostly been taken from Spotrac.com. We made updates where newer data was available.
- Bukayo Saka - £12k-per-month
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has been a revelation in the Premier League this season. What doesn’t he do well with that powerful left foot of his? Pace, panache, pinpoint crossing and an excellent physique to go along.
Saka has delivered three assists in his 18 league appearances this term. Mighty impressive for an 18-year-old who just cut ties with the Academy. Arsenal has him on £3,000 weekly seems fair now, but not for long.
- Hamza Choudhury - £30k-per-month
It really surprising to learn how little Hamza Choudhury is earning at Leicester City. The 22-year-old Englishman earns just £7.5k-per-week at the King Power.
Choudhury has been posting some inspired performances this season while standing in for the indomitable Wilfred Ndidi in City’s defensive midfield.
- Harvey Barnes - £40k-per-month
Harvey Barnes is another player who’s been doing really well for Leicester this season. The 22-year-old English winger has appeared 27 times for the Foxes this term scoring six times and setting up as many. But he only earns £10k-per-week for Brendan Rodgers' side.
- Matt Doherty - £40k-per-month
Matt Doherty is an Irish defender who has matured remarkably at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Doherty has become a mainstay on the right-hand side of Wolves' defence and has chipped in with seven goals in 39 appearances in the Covid-19 stricken 2019/20 campaign.
He totally should push for a contract better than £10k-per-week.
- Angel Gomes - £40k-per-month
Manchester United’s Angel Gomes is part of the 10k club. The 19-year-old English youngster is regarded highly in Manchester and England and is tipped to have a bright future in attacking midfield.
Gomes has appeared twice for Manchester United this season for short cameos this season. He drew cheers from the Manchester United crowd when he stepped out from the dugout in United’s 4-0 win against Norwich in January.
- Philip Billing – £60k-per-month
The Premier League is watched by nearly five billion people. That tells you how popular any players who appear in the English top flight will be. Philip Billing has played 69 games in the League and scored 14 goals. How about that?
Billing, 23, earns £15k-per-week for Bournemouth and is a first-team regular in Eddie Howe’s team.
- Reiss Nelson - £60k-per-month
Reiss Nelson is developing at a blistering pace at Arsenal. Pundits believe he’s rated pretty highly by gaffer Mikel Arteta.
Nelson has been one of the breakthrough prodigies of the current campaign, although he cut his teeth under former Arsenal manager Unai Emery. The youngster takes home £15k-per-week.
- Conor Coady – £60k-per-month
Conor Coady is one of the few Englishmen making their mark in a Portuguese-stacked Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Liverpudlian has been an ever-present face in Wolves rearguard and has earned the admiration of critics.
Coady, 27, joined Wolves from Huddersfield in 2015 and has appeared 29 times in the League for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men this term.
- Anssumane Fati – £68k-per-month
Barcelona is one of the most popular teams in the world and among the most valuable according to Forbes. So, when a 16-year-old kid breaks into Barca’s first team and starts scoring goals, he gets more attention than he bargains for. In the 2019/20 season, that kid was Ansu Fati.
Four La Liga goals and one assist in just seven starts, Fati is attracting veneration all across Europe. He bags £17k-per-week, but if he can continue his fine performances his wage bill will soon become hefty.
- Phil Foden – £68k-per-month
Like Fati, Phil Foden is a darling in Manchester City. Pep Guardiola rates him and has helped the young Englishman develop steadily over the past three campaigns.
At 19, Foden already has a trophy chest some players can only dream of. There are two Premier League titles inside, plus an FA Cup and three League Cups.
Footballers work pretty hard to earn their hefty wages, but it’s clear even the hardest working players don’t earn as much as the beauty who snuggles up to Ronaldo.
