Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro nicknamed CR7 was born February 5, 1985 in Portugal's largest city, Funchal.  Cristiano was then raised in the district of San Antonio, on the island of Madeira; CR7 is the son of Jose Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores. Widely known as one of the best soccer players on the planet, CR7 started his football career when he was 11 years old. During the Portuguese championship he caught the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson,the coach for Mancunian and later signed with Manchester United on August 12, 2003 for the amazing sum of 18 million.

Because of his skills and combative qualities he ended up with the team Real Madrid, the world's biggest club that made him the most expensive player on the planet for the record sum of 94 million. CR7 has won 4 golden balls in 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2016. He is also the dad of a small boy born on June 17, 2010, but his partner Georgina Rodriguez is not the mother of his child. CR7 is my hero not only because he is the best football player but off the field he is also a hero. Designated the most generous athlete on the planet CR7 does not hesitate to share his fortune with the world. On 25 April 2016 when a huge earthquake struck Nepal many historical monuments and infrastructure of the country were destroyed. More than 7,500 people were killed and 14,000 injured. In the wake of this humanitarian tragedy, deployments were made and fundraising was organized to support the inhabitants of this South East Asian region. Not only did he donate 7 million to the organization "save the children" but he also paid 60,000 for the operation of a Spanish baby.
