Cristiano Ronaldo auctions one of his Ballon d'Or for £600,000

Portugal and Real Madrid Star Cristiano Ronaldo has auctioned one of his four Ballon d'Ors trophies for a whopping £600,000 at a charity auction.

The incredible gesture was made by the Portugal captain with every penny raised from the single replica going to the Make-A-Wish charity. 

The good deed took place during a gala hosted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation at London's Dorchester hotel last Sunday, with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes on hand to make the presentation. The trophy was bought by Israeli millionaire and philanthropist Idan Ofer.

The 32-year-old specifically asked for the replica of his 2013 award to be auctioned.
