It has been an honor for me to follow your journey and to be able to consider you a friend of mine. Congratulations on this amazing journey and enjoy.” “By your retirement.”
The strong friendship between Nadal and Ronaldo extended to joint work, as the retired tennis legend was one of the most important sources of the fortune of Argentine-Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez, Cristiano’s girlfriend, amounting to $20 million.
Nadal was a direct reason for the famous supermodel obtaining $10 million in one go, thanks to his commercial company, “Abel Matutes,” which owns 50% of the rights to “Comodo Production,” which is responsible for producing Georgina’s documentary works.
According to the Spanish newspaper “AS”, Nadal’s company has produced a documentary film entitled “I Am Georgina”, which will be broadcast in several parts on the “Netflix” platform.
