Kaká is one of only nine players ever to win the World Cup, the Champions League, and the Ballon d'Or, a triple crown that places him in the most elite company in football history. His 2007 Ballon d'Or victory was the last before the Messi-Ronaldo duopoly, making him the final classic number ten to claim the sport's top individual prize. He was also the first sportsperson to reach 10 million Twitter followers, a testament to his global appeal. Twice named to TIME's 100 Most Influential People list, Kaká's impact extended far beyond the pitch.
