Global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo and his fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, have expanded their real estate portfolio with a significant purchase. According to British media reports, the couple has bought a luxury villa within Saudi Arabia’s exclusive Red Sea Global development.
The property is located at Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve development situated on a private island approximately 26 kilometres off the Saudi mainland. The ultra-private residences are accessible only by chartered boat or seaplane.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez are among the first buyers of these villas. The development features just 19 bespoke residences, with each villa priced from SAR 15.5 million (approximately £3.1 million).
In a statement to the Daily Mail, Ronaldo expressed his connection to the location. “From the moment we first visited, Georgina and I felt a connection with the island and its natural beauty – it’s a place where we feel at peace,” he said.

Furthermore, his career earnings from salary, brand endorsements with Nike and Armani, and other partnerships exceed $700 million, placing him among an elite group of billionaire athletes.
