CRISTIANO RONALDO wore his luxury diamond watch worth around £1.1million while being interviewed by Piers Morgan this week.
The Manchester United legend returned for yet another sit down with the broadcaster – three years after an explosive interview where he claimed he felt “betrayed” by the Red Devils.
Ronaldo, 40, has since joined Saudi side Al-Nassr, where he earns an eye-watering £488,000-a-DAY.
He also banked a £24.5m signing bonus after signing the most lucrative deal in sporting history with the Saudi Pro League club this summer, and that will increase to £38m if he triggers a second year.
Ronaldo is never afraid of flaunting his lucrative lifestyle, including his fleet of supercars and love of jewellery and watches.
During the latest interview with Morgan, Ronaldo decided to wear a Jacob & Co Twin Turbo Furious Baguette, which is made of 18k white gold.

The watch has been set with than 360 baguette diamonds and Ronaldo is by far its most famous wearer.
Fans couldn’t help but admire the incredible timepiece after watching the interview with Morgan as one said: “Amazing piece.”

Another said the “jaw-dropping” watch was “as bold and uncompromising as the man himself.”
In the interview, Ronaldo discussed his wealth with Morgan at length after becoming the first billionaire footballer – according to the Bloomburg Billionaires Index.
He told Morgan: “It was my goal to reach that number. I’m not obsessed for the money, but when you reach some level, money doesn’t matter anymore, but it’s always good to have more.
“The numbers don’t lie. If you see so many records in football, ‘Cristiano is there at the top of the list, it’s one record more’, it doesn’t surprise me because I knew my potential in football and outside of football. I knew I was going to reach that number, for many reasons.”
Ronaldo also said the 2026 World Cup would be his final international tournament and touched on his old club Manchester United and how they were “not on a good path”.
He said: “Manchester United, right now, they don’t have a structure,” Ronaldo says. “I hope that changes in the future, because the potential of the club is amazing, it’s one of the most important clubs of the century.
“They’re not on a good path. They need to change and it’s not only about the coach and players…”
On manager Ruben Amorim, he added: “He’s doing his best. What are you going to do? Miracles? Miracles are impossible.”
