Cristiano Ronaldo sure knows how to make a grand gesture — he proved it by celebrating his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez's birthday at the Burj Khalifa, making the world's tallest building light up with his partner's face. He got the custom laser show to feature clips from Rodriguez's latest Netflix series I Am Georgina and gathered his kids to celebrate the occasion.

"Muitos parabéns meu amor, [Happy Birthday my love]," the Portuguese footballer captioned an Instagram post with a video of the spectacle.

Rodriguez's sister seemed as incredulous as she herself must have been. She commented, "De verdad???? INCREÍBLE!!!! Gracias, cuñado, por esta sorpresa para mi hermana [Really? INCREDIBLE! Thank you, brother-in-law, for this surprise for my sister]."

The couple was celebrating Rodriguez’s 28th birthday and the Netflix series about her life, I Am Georgina. The football star made sure to feature her name above the clips from her show on the iconic tower which ended with a message that read "Happy Birthday Gio" in giant, white letters.

Overwhelmed, Rodriguez penned a thank you note in Portuguese in an Instagram post that read, "This exciting day is over, I cannot articulate words, thank you, thank you, thank you Cristiano Ronaldo. You make me happier every day. Thank you Dubai for always treating us so well and making us feel at home. Thanks to all of you who have worked to make this day so special. And thank you for always rejoicing in my happiness and that of my family. I love you with all my heart."

Reports suggest that a three-minute promotional ad or message on the tower costs over AED 250,000, with a spike in costs during the weekends. However, for Ronaldo, this amount may seem like nothing, considering the fact that he's got the top spot on the list of world's highest-paid football players.

Rodriguez couldn't help but post more from her special day. In an Instagram post captioned "Dreams come true", she posted photos of her teary eyed next to Ronaldo, the cake cutting and the family dinner in front of the tower.

What flash and publicity money can buy! I wonder how many hungry homeless people in Portugal could've been fed with the money splashed on this ego-boost??

He is entitled to spend his money in a way that puts a smile on his family's face.

Men should think before they act he made one woman feel really big, great huge, wow but how about the women whose husbands struggle to put food on the table. May be he made some such people feel really small. You want to show your partner love show it privately.

@Mahmood ,give Ronaldo the due credit. He was not born rich like Bilawal,Maryam. . He earned his wealth on merit and guts. He has all the rights to be happy with his loved ones in any and every way he likes to.

@Chrís Dăn Thank you. Let him enjoy. this is his time, his family. His donations help several hundred children. The people's stupid comments, sickening, not knowing what and where he started. He has all the rights to enjoy a meal with his family.

@Mahmood I wonder you know how many charities he regularly pay for sick children. You can go and have a meal in front of Burj Khalifa should you like to do so.

@Nads, he is one of those few people around the globe who spends millions on charities annually and helping various causes including Palestine. So he is not just showing off ... he has the right to keep his family happy as well.

@Mahmood, believe me ... he must have spent millions on them already ... he is one of the most humble people you would find.

@Mahmood incredibly naive and incorrect assumption. Ronaldo has donated millions to charities and his own blood. It all takes a few seconds of internet research.

Those who have money can spend in any way they want. If Shah Jahan could build a Mehal for his begum Mumtaz, then why not Ronaldo? This is the world either accept it or spend your life regretting why they, why not us!!!

@Mahmood although this is extravagant but Ronaldo is a super nice guy who gives millions in charity every year, takes care of his mother and married this lady because first she was his kids baby sitter and he realized she is a genuinely nice person. He refuses to get tattoos and as he considers donating blood every year a duty. He could have married any girl he wanted but went for a simple girl who cares about his family not just his money.
