Did you know Cristiano Ronaldo’s jersey number almost caused a billion-dollar($1,000,000,000) controversy?
Ronaldo turned the number 7 into a personal brand—putting it on everything he owns: million-dollar watches, a $2 million Bugatti, even his own airport!
But when he signed with Al-Nassr, there was one problem—another player already wore 7.
Ronaldo wasn’t having it. He demanded the number or...the guy would lose his contract.
Guess what? The guy switched to 77, and Ronaldo kept his iconic number, avoiding a billion-dollar loss!
That's CR7 for you!
