Real Madrid star coughs up between €3m and €50m in extraordinary gesture to his long-time friend and confidant
didn’t bother leafing through the Argos catalogue when he wanted to buy a wedding present for his agent Jorge Mendes.
Instead, the Real Madrid star – who is best man at his long-time friend and confidant’s marriage today – decided to stepover the pyrex dishes, mug trees, fondue sets and towel (not Gareth) bales, and splash out a bit more than most of the 400 guests who are expected to attend.
But the 30-year-old will not be wrapping up his gift as it is a Greek island.
Greece has decided to sell off some of its islands in a bid to help clear up its crippling financial problems and according to Portuguese publication Move Noticias, Ronaldo splashed out anything from €3m to €50m for the non-disclosed land.
because it is rude to know how much you have spent on a gift - and to make sure the media give Mendes some peace and quiet if and when he goes there.
At least Jorge and his bride Sandra will have somewhere to store the toasters, cutlery sets and salad spinners that they will no doubt stack up in abundance.
And what other high-profile guests like Fabio Coentrao and Pepe will buy in an attempt to top the megastar’s hypergift for a superagent remains to be seen.
