He is reportedly paying £3,300 per night to lodge in the suite and his bill is estimated to hit £250,000 before he finally finds a new home for himself and his family in his new abode in Saudi Arabia, where he will be plying his trade.
Ronaldo leaves no stone unturned in giving himself the best life can offer. His controversial move to Al-Nassr has seen him emerge as the highest-paid football athlete in the history of football earning a whooping £173m every year.
He signed a two-year contract with the Saudi club, and will stay at the club till 2025 when his current contract expires.
