Real Madrid iconic forward Cristiano Ronaldo has donated
€1.5 million to Palestinian children in Gaza, the Arabic version of the club’s
Classico network reports.
The star forward gave his Golden Boot which he earned in
2011 to the Real Madrid foundation. The Spanish giants in their turn sold it at
auction and will now donate the funds to schools in Gaza
According to various reports, the Real Madrid Foundation
has helped to build 167 schools in 66 countries.
It’s not the first time Ronaldo has given to charity.
Last year he sold most of his sports shoes at a Real Madrid Foundation auction
which was also dedicated to raising funds for schools in Gaza.
Ronaldo became the most expensive footballer in history
after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer worth €93.9
million. In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is paid €12
million per year, makes him one of the highest-paid footballers in the world.
