Almost 20 years ago, Ronaldinho was considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time. His time at Barcelona was one highlight reel play after another, known for his great shooting but his dance move dribbling is what made him famous.
Ronaldinho also took a young man under his wing at Barcelona, that young boy was a certain Lionel Messi, who Ronaldinho had predicted “will be better than me.”
Since his retirement in 2015, Ronaldinho has had his ups and downs financially. In November 2018, “Dinho” had his luxury cars and artwork seized by Brazilian authorities, as well as being accused of owing fines that were levied against his charity. Now a report in the Sun states that the one time PSG, Barcelona, and AC Milan star has lost almost all his money as he owes back taxes.
