Despite his extraordinary wealth, Ronaldo does not shower his children with gifts unless they are earned.
He tells his children the same thing his mother once told him: success means nothing if you are not a good human being first.

Giving children everything is not always giving them the best thing.
Ronaldo grew up in a small, humble home in Madeira, Portugal. His father was a kit man, and his mother worked as a cook and cleaner. He has never forgotten where he came from, and he makes sure his children never forget it either. Despite his extraordinary wealth, Ronaldo does not shower his children with gifts unless they are earned. Luxury is limited. Humility is non-negotiable. He leads by example whether through charity work, how he treats fans, or how he speaks about his own childhood. He tells his children the same thing his mother once told him: success means nothing if you are not a good human being first. For Indian parents who work hard to give their children everything they never had, this is a gentle but important warning. Giving children everything is not always giving them the best thing.
