Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence continues to be significant, despite limited playing time due to an injury that has kept him out of the recent international break.
While he’s currently off the pitch, his business activities are thriving.
Recently, Ronaldo bought a stake in the Spanish club UD Almeria, adding to his football ownership portfolio.
Beyond club ownership, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is making strides in the health and wellness sector.
His involvement has escalated recently.
As reported by UK tech news, a company backed by Ronaldo has been sold in a significant deal.
Bioniq, a health startup based in London that Ronaldo supports, has been acquired by US wellness company Herbalife.
The initial deal is worth $55 million, with the potential to increase to $150 million based on performance-related targets over the next five years.
Bioniq, founded in 2019, specializes in personalized supplements and health optimization using biomarker data, gaining popularity among elite athletes.
Ronaldo isn’t the only football figure connected to the company.
His former teammate at Manchester United, Diogo Dalot, has also invested in Bioniq and recently captained United in a match against Aston Villa.
Herbalife’s acquisition indicates a shift towards data-driven health solutions, aiming to broaden its global reach through personalized nutrition platforms.
For Ronaldo, this move enhances his reputation as one of the most commercially influential athletes worldwide.
From Manchester United’s viewpoint, it showcases how players associated with the club can extend their impact well beyond the sport.
