Ja’Marr Chase’s contract was expected to be a big one. Even then, it came as a shock when its actual size was revealed. After signing a four-year, $161 million deal, the 25-year-old wide receiver is now the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. And he’s making the most of his moment, wasting no time in showing himself some love.

Chase made a major flex on Instagram, showing off his new Lamborghini with a private jet in the background. Since this came just two days after his market-resetting deal was inked, it was clear he was wasting no time going and spending some of that money.

Lambos are expensive, but not so expensive that they would have dented Ja’Marr’s newly fattened bank balance badly. Most 2025 models range from $250K to $612K, depending on the make. Based on the car Chase bought, it appears to be a Lamborghini Revuelto, which sits on the higher end at $612K. He also seems to have made some additions to the front bumper. Either way, it’s a sweet-looking ride that will surely turn heads when he’s cruising around Cincinnati.
Surprisingly, though, fan reaction to the post was far from supportive. Many questioned Chase’s spending habits and wondered if he’d go broke making lavish purchases. Some predicted—rightly—that the comments will be filled with advice from new-found financial advisors!
Exactly what you shouldn’t do when signing a contract like that.

I hope he has an excellent financial advisor!

And, so, the end begins. Even before the pre-season. Nobody can handle power or success. In ten years, he will be broke. But hav’in fun now.

I’m sure people will become financial advisors in the replies

Poor Ja’Marr deserves a break though. After all, the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history can surely afford a $600K car. Also, that private jet in the background was not Chase’s—it was a charter. Renting a private jet is significantly cheaper than buying one.
Chase deserves having this particular controversy put to bed quickly. It’s unfair to over-analyze his actions. It’s a nice car, one that he can afford—and no one can deny he’s earned himself a treat.
Of course, he’ll soon learn that when it comes to supercars, the bills don’t stop with just the purchase. Just basic maintanence can run up to $10k per year. But again, Chase can handle that. The contract he signed also won’t be the end of his revenue stream.
Chase has sponsorships with 7-Eleven, Tostitos, and UNO. And surely, once this contract is over, he’ll likely earn another large one. He’s only 25. There are plenty of good days ahead for Chase. He’s coming off a triple-crown receiving season and has already been to a Super Bowl. Chase also has a great QB in Joe Burrow who will be feeding him the ball for the foreseeable future.
