Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly gave his agent Jorge Mendes the perfect, out-of-this-world wedding gift.

The football superstar is one of the richest athletes in the world and all the money he’s made has afforded him to buy Mendes an island in Greece.

According to Eurosport, which is citing a Portuguese media outlet Move Noticias, “Ronaldo bought his long-time confidant and representative a Greek island.

For how much? The report said the price range is from anything from €3 million to €50 million, which equals to around P150 million to P2.5 billion.
