One can easily thunk that Christiano Ronaldo is the highest paid player in the world but it's not true. Although, the last time he won the balon dor was 2015, Messi has always been th highest paid player in the world.
Ronaldo is not. In fact, the Croatia midfielder's Real Madrid and former team mates team-mates Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos all beat him at the salary structure.
