Ronaldo donated his 2013 Ballon d’Or award and raised a staggering £530,000 for Make-A Wish Foundation

After being voted as the most charitable athlete in the world in 2015 (Dosomething.org), Ronaldo repeated the trick of selling one of his trophies for charity.

Ronaldo donated the replica of his 2013 Ballon d'Or award in London auction at the Dorchester Hotel, with all proceeds going to Make-A-Wish Foundation, which is a charity that grants wishes to children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.

His 2013 award is the one that means the most to him, as it ended a run of four consecutive years of his great rival Lionel Messi picking up the award. Ronaldo has also won this award in 2008, 2014, 2016 and 2017 apart from 2013.
