REUTERS – Jamie Vardy was named the Premier League’s player of the month for the second month in succession, while Claudio Ranieri bagged the managerial award to ensure a clean sweep for Leicester City. The table-topping Foxes went through the month undefeated, beating Watford 2-1 at home and Newcastle United 3-0 away, before drawing 1-1 with Manchester United at the King Power Stadium. Vardy wrote his name into the record books against United on Nov. 29, when he became the first player to score in 11 successive Premier League matches, eclipsing the mark set by former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2003. The 28-year-old leads the division’s scoring charts with 14 goals and is the fifth player in Premier League history to win the award in consecutive months, after Robbie Fowler, Dennis Bergkamp, Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane, Leicester said on its website (www.lcfc.com).

<h2><strong>History</strong></h2>
Comprising of four divisions until 1991, the top division of English football split up and all the teams in the top division, after multiple discussions with the football authorities and television broadcasters, formed the Premier League in 1992.

The competition format remained the same, with three clubs relegated and three clubs promoted every season, and the top four clubs in the Premier League would qualify for the Champions League.

The main reason for the change in approach was to bring in more money into the game. The first broadcast rights for the Premier League was to be won at ?304?million over five years by Sky UK. The Premier League is the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcast in 212 territories to 643?million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7?billion people.

<h2><strong>Transfer Window</strong></h2>
The Premier League has two transfer windows- Summer and Winter, where clubs can buy players. The summer transfer window generally over two months long, which begins and ends before the start of the season, while the winter transfer window is the mid-season window, which lasts the month of January.
<h2><strong>Winter break</strong></h2>
The 2019-20 Premier League was the first season to incorporate a winter break, which has always been included in major leagues across Europe. This came up after much debate about the Premier clubs having a disadvantage in the UEFA Champions League over clubs from other leagues, who come fresh from a winter break.

In February 2020, the Premier League saw one round of matches played over two weekends, with five matches on the weekend commencing February 8, and five on the weekend commencing on February 15.

<h2><strong>Prize money</strong></h2>
Prize money is drawn from broadcast revenue - TV money - and a team's monetary health come the end of the season depends on how many televised games they are involved in, as well as their final position.

The prize money for the Premier League champions is around ?150 million ($182m), although it also brings with it many other financial rewards

<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo: Net Worth 2024, Personal Life, Career, and Achievements</strong></h3>
Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly one of the greatest players of all time. While the debate regarding his 'greatest of all time' status will seemingly never come to an end, the fact that the Portuguese soccer legend has won the Ballon d'Or five times during his career gives him quite the upper hand.

While starting his career at his boyhood club, Sporting CP, the soccer veteran is currently making a difference in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr. Between Sporting CP and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo established a healthy and long-lasting legacy at Real Madrid, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a>, and Juventus.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. The mighty Portuguese soccer legend is currently earning a jaw-dropping wage at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo is reportedly cashing out $74 million per season as just his base salary. His earnings will potentially rise to $207 million when commercial deals, image rights, and ambassadorial roles are kept in mind. This added to the fact that Forbes named Cristiano Ronaldo as the first active team sport athlete to surpass $1 Billion in career earnings back in 2022 is a sign that Ronaldo's 2024 net worth might just exceed the $500 Million mark.

The most prominent investment that drives his net worth upward is in the chain of hotels. The soccer veteran has been on board with the Pestana Group while building hotels in Madrid, Lisbon, New York, Marrakesh, and Funchal. Apart from that, he has an ever-famous lifetime deal running with Nike.

Cristiano Ronaldo has also endorsed brands like Herbalife, MTG, Clear, Garena Free Fire, Louis Vuitton, Live Score, TAG Heuer, and many more. Apart from that, he also drives forward his personal brand that caters to the fitness and clothing market.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo's early life and his family</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo was born to José Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores dos Santos. He is their youngest child. He grew up in a catholic home sharing a single room with all his siblings. Ronaldo has one elder brother, Hugo and two older sisters. His eldest sister, Elma, describes herself on Instagram as a digital influencer. Apart from that, the two of them still share a very healthy and strong bond with the soccer star.

Ronaldo only completed his schooling until the sixth grade. At the age of 14, he was seemingly hard-destined towards soccer as a career. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was just 15. After undergoing successful surgery for his tachycardia, he quickly recovered in order to live his dream.

Ronaldo played his first bits of soccer for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. He then moved to an area near Lisbon and ended up joining Sporting CP's youth academy. The 6ft 1in striker originally started off on the ring wing. His ability to be able to handle the ball with both feet still mesmerizes opponents to date.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo and his mighty football career</h2>
Within a few years of joining Sporting CP, Ronaldo quickly rose up the youth ranks. On September 2002, he made his debut for Sporting in the Primeira Liga against Braga. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed by the raw Portuguese talent and signed him in 2003 for Manchester United. During his time at Manchester United, he won three Premier League Titles from 2006 to 2009, subsequently aligning with the club's widely accepted golden era.

Ronaldo's tenure at Manchester United was decorated with many goal-scoring records. However, his most acclaimed feat was when he scored 42 goals in the 2007-2008 season and secured a place on the best wingers in football history list. However, that was all for Ronaldo and Manchester United. The star player moved on to Real Madrid in 2009 with a transfer fee of €94,000,000 ($103,061,586.97). The greatest at that time.

Barring a short span at Juventus F.C, Ronaldo circled back to Manchester United. However, his homecoming to the United could not reap the same fruits as his debut. Ronaldo's second stint at United was met with a mutual contract termination in November 2022. This would make way for the CR7's foray into Al Nassr FC. Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has scored his second hat trick for the club and 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League.

While his club career is a marvel in its own right, Ronaldo's achievements as the captain of the Portugal national team are not far behind. The Portuguese Forward won his first cup with Portugal in 2016 in the Euro Cup and then later in the 2018-19 National League Tournament.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All other success Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved with Portugal's national team</h2>
Despite just a single piece of silverware at the Euros in 2016, Ronaldo has scored 128 goals in 205 appearances for his country. However, he has achieved quite a few personal milestones while playing for Portugal. He has scored the most international goals in soccer history and is the leading goal scorer in EURO and well, world history. In 2017, he scored 37 goals for his national side, the most by any player for his country.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All the off-field awards claimed by Cristiano Ronaldo</h2>

He has won the European Golden Shoe in 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2015. Ronaldo won the Premier League Player of the Season in 2007 and 2008. Similarly, he won La Liga's best player award after the 2013-14 season. Serie A crowned the soccer veteran the Player of the Year in 2019 and 2020. Additionally, he won the Premier League Golden Boot for his prime 2007-08 season at Manchester United. As he entered a new chapter of his career with Al-Nassr, Ronaldo cemented another milestone by taking home the Maradona Award for Best Goal Scorer owing to his 54 goals throughout the year.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend and kids</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo met his long-time girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez in 2016. The two of them met at a Gucci store. At that time, Georgina was a salesgirl at a Gucci store in Madrid. Seemingly, there was a spark between the two of them immediately. They then met again at a Dolce and Gabbana event, a few days later. The rest was history.

The next year, they announced the birth of their baby daughter, Alana. Several years later, the celebrity couple announced that they were expecting twins. However, one of them tragically passed away shortly after birth. In <em>I Am Georgina</em>: Season Two, Georgina described that time as the worst moment of her life.

Prior to meeting Rodriguez, the soccer veteran already had three children. The first one of them is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. He was born on June 17, 2010, in America. The mighty Ronaldo has still kept the mother's identity a mystery after gaining full custody of his child.

In 2017, Ronaldo fathered twins in the United States via a surrogate mother with the twins reportedly named, Eva and Matteo. In 2017, he had his first child with Georgina Rodriguez, a girl named Alana Martina. Later in 2021, the couple announced they were pregnant with twins. However, Ronaldo and Rodriguez bore the loss of losing a child while also welcoming another in 2022, a girl named Bella.

As of now, the Portuguese soccer legend has not announced anything regarding marriage. Once, during a conversation with Piers Morgan, he mentioned that he wasn't thinking about it. Technically, Ronaldo is breaking the law in Saudi Arabia. In the territory, it was illegal to live under the same roof if not married.

However, reports then suggested that the authorities in Saudi Arabia have turned a blind eye in this case, despite him being a top Al-Nassr player considering Cristiano Ronaldo is a foreigner.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's foundations and charity</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo supports the likes of UNICEF, Save the Children, AIDS Still Required, World Vision, and Cahonas Scotland among others. His most famous act of donation was when he raised $83,000 from his soccer boots and jersey for the operation of a 10-month-old baby.
