According to Semana, Ronaldo, 39, and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, 30, have spent €25 million to secure a mansion in Jumeirah Bay, the ‘island of the rich’, in Dubai, UAE.

Jumeirah Bay Island is an artificial seahorse-shaped island off the coast of Dubai, a few kilometres from Palm Islands, managed by the Palace Luxury Living group.

Only 15 mansions have been built on the island so far. In addition to residential properties, it has a private yacht club, a beach club, gyms, gourmet restaurants, and five-star hotels, such as the Mandarin Oriental and the Bulgari Resort.

Ronaldo’s mansion is expected to be completed in December, but it is unclear when he plans to move in with his family.
