The world's most recognized footballer just made waves in tech circles. Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese legend worth billions, has quietly secured equity in Perplexity AI. This isn't some token celebrity endorsement—it's his biggest tech bet yet. The move signals growing mainstream interest in AI platforms that could reshape how we interact with information. For an athlete who built an empire beyond the pitch, this stake represents a strategic pivot into cutting-edge technology. The question now: will other sports icons follow CR7 into the AI gold rush?

CR7’s move… investing in Perplexity or just quietly making a fortune? There hasn’t been any official announcement, right? Doesn’t seem like his usual style.

This move by CR7 is pretty smart, but then again, it's easy for sports stars to get taken advantage of when investing... Is Perplexity really that valuable?

Oh no, CR7 is buying the dip again while we retail investors are still trying to figure things out.

CR7’s move is really a masterstroke… this round of fundraising by Perplexity is going to blow up.
