In 2013, Ronaldo took both the Ballon d'Or and Fifa World Player of the Year. In 2014, he took the Ballon d'Or.
In 2016, he again won the Ballon d'Or; he also took The Best FIFA Men's Player Award, a "rebranding" of the FIFA World Player of the Year award. In 2017, he again won The Best FIFA Men's Player, as well as the Ballon d'Or.
In 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2018; Ronaldo won the Silver Ball, for 2nd Best Player in the World.
