"Congratulations on your wedding, here's a goddamn sub-continental land mass I bought you!" That's how I'd have announced I was giving my friend an actual island, anyway. Presumably Cristiano Ronaldo used a little bit more tact when he told his agent Jorge Mendes that he was getting a Greek island as a wedding gift.Ronaldo served as Best Man during the ceremony on Sunday and, obviously, he is worthy of the superlative.
Look at my guy Ronaldo, solving two problems in one altruistic stroke. His friend needs a wedding present, and Greece needs a friend—boom!—a €3 million to €50m gift to each. Now all we need to know is, what did Messi get him? Wine glasses? I bet it was wine glasses.[ESPN]Indeed, it is said that Ronaldo may have paid anywhere between €3 million and €50m to purchase the land, with Greece currently selling off many of its islands in a bid to ease the financial situation in the country.
