The soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo<\/b>\u00a0has had less luck in the real estate game. He recently unloaded his\u00a0Trump Tower\u00a0condo in\u00a0Manhattan\u00a0for $7.18 million, a whopping $11.32 million less than he paid in 2015.<\/p>\n

\n

The Manchester United forward shelled out $18.5 million for the three-bedroom, high-floor loft with Central Park views in 2015.<\/p>\n

At the time of the transaction,\u00a0rumors swirled that perhaps the legendary Portuguese player would eventually wind up in the United States and join Major League Soccer. That never happened.<\/p>\n

Instead, the part-time New Yorker has moved on from his apartment\u2014at a huge loss.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t feel too bad for Ronaldo, given that Forbes has\u00a0ranked\u00a0him as the third-highest-paid athlete in the world, with $120 million in earnings in 2021 alone.<\/p>\n

Even so, no one likes to lose money. So how did this happen?<\/p>\n
