Cristiano Ronaldo and his family have relocated from a $300,000-per-month luxury hotel in a Riyadh skyscraper to his first home in Saudi Arabia, accompanied by his mother, who is on vacation with him.
Ronaldo, 38, walked out of his suite at the opulent Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Center before his mother, Dolores Aveiro, flew to Riyadh.
Earlier this week, Aveiro visited Ronaldo’s new mansion, where he lives with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and their children, as the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner settled into his new upscale home following his abrupt departure from Manchester United.

Although it has been reported, it is not yet clear where Ronaldo lives. His new apartment complex is said to have a high level of insurance for him and his family, as well as easy access to shops, restaurants, gyms, and other amenities.
Ronaldo and Georgina shared photos on social media, including one of him with his infant daughter, Bella Esmeralda.

Ronaldo is likely to live with his family in a mansion near Lisbon that is still under construction and is not expected to be completed until the summer, where he will reside after his retirement.
He also owns two apartments in Lisbon, two mansions on the outskirts of Madrid, and an eight-story building in Funchal, Madeira, where his mother and older brother Hugo Aveiro currently reside.

Mansion on sale
The Portuguese superstar has put his luxury mansion up for sale following his move to Saudi Arabia back in December. Located in the upmarket neighborhood of Alderley Edge, The Sun reported that the alleged asking price for the home is 5.5 million pounds (just over $6.5 million). It is a residence with a guest house, indoor swimming pool, state-of-the-art gym, paddle and tennis courts, water and relaxation area, and a huge cinema room.
After the World Cup, the Portuguese superstar left Manchester United and signed for Al Nassr, a team from the Saudi Arabian league, for two seasons and a salary of around $213 million per season.
