Kaká is celebrating his 44th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed footballers of his generation.

Popular footballer Kaká has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 44th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Kaká, a cultural icon

Born Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite in Brasilia on April 22, 1982, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Brazilian history. Kaká's not just a great footballer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Kaká hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Kaká as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 44.

Happy Birthday, Kaká, you're the best!
