The Saudi Arabia mansion in which Cristiano will be living that LeBron & Messi can only dream of having

Cristiano Ronaldo may have left Manchester United on not the best terms, and have been eliminated from the World Cup too soon and seen his dream of winning it gone for good. Still, now he'll become the highest-paid athlete of all time and will have a luxury style, including and fantastic mansion.

The life of luxury that awaits Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia could have the superstar player snapping up a $12.2 Million palace complete with an Olympic-size swimming pool and basking.

The father-of-five and his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez are expected to live as ex-pats in a Western compound or palace, cushioned mainly from the Conservative country's strict Islamic laws.

Ronaldo's anticipated arrival follows determined efforts by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to modernize his country and soften its hardline international reputation. Because of that, CR7 will have a style that LeBron and Messi will envy, as the mansion that is waiting for Ronaldo is out of this world.

The impact CR7 will have on Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's Sports Minister, Prince Abdulaziz, previously told BBC Sport: "Anything is possible; I would love to see Ronaldo play in the Saudi league. 'It would benefit the league and the sports eco-system in Saudi, and it will inspire the youth for the future. He's a role model to many kids and has a big fan base."
