This tennis player is worth four times more than footballing legend Cristiano Ronaldo, but how?
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the richest sportsmen globally since his stellar career has seen some amazing multi-million dollar transfer deals, including brand endorsements that were worth handsome packages. The former Real Madrid star and ace Portugal national team striker owns villas, brands and much more, which have made his net worth exponential. However, there is a little-known Romanian sportsman, who is richer than even this footballing legend.
Man of multiple professions, net worth more than Cristiano Ronaldo
According to a Daily Star report, a Romanian tennis player who has also played ice hockey for his nation has turned out to have a net worth almost four times more than Cristiano Ronaldo. Ion Tiriac, the player in this context, is not even in the same age bracket as of Ronaldo, and had retired decades ago, and was not even a very top-seeded player when it came to tennis. According to reports, he had just progressed up to the fourth round at Wimbledon during his career. Interestingly, he has also represented his nation in the 1964 Winter Olympics in Tokyo, where he played ice hockey for his country, making him a rare sportsman having excelled and represented his country in multiple sports.
Was Ion Tiriac a very successful tennis player?
Tiriac's best performance in his tennis career is just reaching the quarterfinals of the French Open in the year 1968. After that there were seldom opportunities for him to proceed further than that. Now, the question arises, how did he amass so much wealth all these years if he was not such an amazing sportsman with stellar records like Cristiano Ronaldo?
