Al Nassr forward and Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has made a significant new investment outside of sports, acquiring a 10% stake in the health-tech company Chronos for €6.4 million. The firm is developing a sophisticated platform that leverages artificial intelligence and data analytics to provide users with personalized health, nutrition, and fitness programs.
The Strategic Investment
Ronaldo’s investment highlights a growing trend of high-profile athletes backing technology ventures. The injection of €6.4 million into Chronos is a major vote of confidence in the company’s vision and technology. The news had an immediate positive impact, causing the company’s stock to surge by 15% in pre-market trading following the announcement.
Global Expansion Plans Eye The Middle East
With this new capital, Chronos is setting its sights on significant international growth. Following a successful rollout in the United States, the company is planning a major global expansion scheduled to begin in early 2026.
Critically for the MENA region, the expansion strategy specifically targets markets across the Middle East, in addition to Europe and Africa. This move signals the growing importance of the MENA market for global health and wellness technology companies looking to scale.
