#10 Gareth Bale
The Wales footballer who plays as a right winger for Wales National team and for Real Madrid FC is valued at 81 Million pounds and comes up at No.10 in our list. It was surprising to see Gareth Bale come up in the 30-man shortlist of Ballon d’Or 2018 and it is unlikely that he may get enough votes to command a top slot.
#9 Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is a firm contender for the Ballon d’Or 2018 trophy even after the recent allegations against him. Being one of the most successful Ballon d’Or winners ever along with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo is valued at 90 million pounds and comes up at No.9 in our list.
It is possible that history may repeat and another Juventus star in Ronaldo may deny Croatian football a Ballon d’Or like what happened in 1998 with Zidane.
