With 145% MORE searches than Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most popular sports figure in the world.
According to recent statistics, CRISTIANO RONALDO is the most significant sports figure in the world.
The world's most popular sports star is Ronaldo.
Due to his outstanding accomplishments and durability, the 37-year-old Manchester United forward continues to be one of the most well-known figures in sports.
He is also by far the most searched-for sports figure internationally, according to betting.com.
Ronaldo's name is looked up 11 million times a month on average.
The next biggest, American football player Ryan Ramczyk, has roughly five million fewer than that.
The 28-year-old offensive lineman has 6.1 million searches each month, which puts him just ahead of Neymar of Paris Saint-Germain, who has 5.8 million.
The top ten sportspeople globally in terms of searches
Despite falling to fifth place, Messi still receives more than four million searches each month.
The only other sports figure with more than 5 million monthly searches is NBA icon LeBron James, who has 5.3 million.
Messi, a longtime adversary of Ronaldo's, is down in fifth place with 4.8 million, which one may assume is due to the Argentine's lower level of "celebrity" status than that of his Portuguese counterpart.
Tom Brady, who has won the Super Bowl seven times, is listed after Messi with 4.3 million.
Then Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen from Formula One arrive.
Verstappen narrowly beat Hamilton to the 2021 championship, but the British driver holds the advantage this time around 3.9 million to 3.8 million.
Another NFL player who reached the list of the top 10 most sought sports figures was Aaron Rodgers.
Conor McGregor, a star of the UFC, rounds out the top three, earning an average of 3.1 million per month despite not competing in nearly a year.
