Many of us would like a bit more in our pockets to buy the things we might want but there must surely be a limit to the amount anyone would need to live even the most luxurious of lifestyles.
Whilst there are millions of people starving in the world, there are a few that I believe earn more than they should. I include footballers in that group.
I read this morning that Manchester United will save about £15.5m in wages after coming to a mutual agreement with Ronaldo to end his contract before it runs out in the summer. I understand Ronaldo is payed £500,000 a week for sitting on the bench for most matches.
According to the Daily Mail, Ronaldo's goals during his second spell at Manchester United have cost the club £1.2m each.
Although Ronaldo has donated vast sums of money to charity, his net worth is still estimated to be around $115 million according to Forbes.
AFC Crewe of the 14th tier Crewe and District League Premier Division have made an audacious bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for £35-a-week after he agreed to terminate his Manchester United contract Apparently, on that salary, he would be the highest paid player at the club.
Is Ronaldo 14,286 times a better player than those at Crewe? Not when he spends most of the time sitting on the subs bench!
