Ronaldinho bankrupt, account has 6 USD left

Marca reported that Ronaldinho is said to have lost all the money in his account and owes the bank millions of dollars in taxes. Brazilian tax authorities are trying to collect the debt but the former Barcelona star is no longer able to pay.

The Spanish newspaper also mentioned that Ronaldinho had only $6 left in his bank account.

Ronaldinho is famous for his lavish lifestyle and debauchery. His talent is undeniable, but this star could not stick with top football for long. Ronaldinho left Barcelona in 2008 and could no longer maintain his form as a world -class star.

The Brazilian player once admitted that he no longer had the motivation to improve after fulfilling his promise to his late father with the Ballon d'Or award in 2005.

Ronaldinho fell into poverty after ending his football career.

In recent years, Ronaldinho's life has had many ups and downs, most notably his arrest in Paraguay for using a fake passport to enter the country in early 2020. After 32 days in prison, Ronaldinho had to pay $1.6 million to be released on bail.

While under house arrest, the former Barcelona and AC Milan star has not given up his passion for partying. He was found to have brought alcohol and brought many girls to his hotel room, where he was under house arrest, to party all night.

The reason Ronaldinho had to use fake documents was because his real passport was confiscated by the Brazilian government for evading a fine for illegal construction in 2015.

Ronaldinho could follow in the footsteps of Garrincha or Paul Gascoigne, former players who were left with almost nothing and struggled to make ends meet after retirement. Gascoigne was also bankrupt. After years of struggling, the former England international's current assets are only $500,000.

Ronaldinho is a legend of Brazilian football with the 2002 World Cup, 1999 Copa America and 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup. At the club level, he also achieved titles with Barcelona with 2 La Liga championships, 1 Champions League. Although no longer at the peak of his career, the former player born in 1980 still won 1 more Scudetto when joining Milan.
