LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo
The sports world was once again shaken by Cristiano Ronaldo. Just when it seemed like he was set to switch teams, he surprised everyone by putting pen to paper — securing a new multi-million-dollar deal with Al-Nassr. So, there’s no better moment to bring LeBron James’ new salary into the spotlight and compare it to CR7’s massive earnings.
“This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to everyone,” Cristiano posted on Instagram on May 26. That same day, executives from the Saudi Arabian club began working to renew his contract.
On May 26, Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed the big news: he renewed with Al-Nassr for two more years — in what has become the most lucrative contract in history, according to British outlet The Sun. The Portuguese striker will reportedly earn at least $676 million USD over the next two seasons.
So, what’s his annual salary? According to The Sun, Cristiano will now earn over $244 million per year. With that jaw-dropping figure on the table, it was only fitting that another global sports icon — LeBron James — made a move of his own, securing a deal that will earn him a hefty sum in the NBA.

ESPN journalist Shams Charania confirmed that LeBron James has decided to exercise his player option to play one more year with the Lakers, in exchange for an annual salary of $52.6 million dollars. This means that the “King” of the NBA will earn $191.4 million less per year than Cristiano Ronaldo.

The result may surprise some:
