Cristiano Ronaldo and the Island of the Rich
Cristiano Ronaldo has purchased a plot of land on Jumeirah Bay Island in Dubai, known as the Island of the Rich. The land is valued at 25 million euros, and only 15 people have managed to acquire a space on the island so far.
The project is for the construction of a mansion by the end of this year. The island is located 8 km from downtown Dubai and was artificially constructed by the government. It is an exclusive and intimate space, featuring high-end restaurants, yacht clubs, five-star hotels, and gyms.
