There is no debate over the fact that the NFL happens to be a cash-rich league, and it takes so much to get into the arena. Once athletes get drafted, many think they have reached the pinnacle of success; however, the reality is far different. They need to compete at the highest levels and harvest good figures; otherwise, it could jeopardize their future aspirations.
Patrick Mahomes flaunts his luxurious watch at the Miami Grand Prix
The Texas A&M product has come a long way from where he started off initially. His luxurious watch collection dignifies this notion, as one could see a big difference in his draft day appearance and his current living standards. While waiting for his name to be announced during 2017 draft day, the youngster was seen wearing a fairly cheap fashion chronograph.
According to wristenthusiast.com, the timepiece wasn’t something that could break the bank. But things have changed drastically since then. While making an appearance recently in the Miami GP, the Chiefs quarterback wore a dazzling Rolex made of platinum with a shiny ice-blue dial that had baguette-cut diamonds. And yes, it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Mahomes wore a similar type of watch during his first-ever Met Gala appearance last week. It was again a Rolex, a brand he has been a fan of for a long-time. Per MARCA, the Super Bowl Champion’s exquisite watch collection is estimated at around $852,000.
It consists of two Yacht Masters, two Daytonas that are worth $520K, and an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watch. Looking at his $50 million fortune, these collections look minuscule, but his fondness for acquiring such limited edition timepieces is increasing day by day.
Mahomes has a major chunk of his wealth coming from brand endorsement deals
When the Chiefs quarterback signed his 10-year, $503 million extension, his brand value ended up breaking all records. Brands rushed towards him to sign lucrative deals. And certainly, he agreed to associate with some of them.
The sunglasses brand Oakleys is among the top companies in Mahomes’ portfolio. Similarly, BioSteel, Adidas, and Bose are a couple of other organizations. This trend is expected to rise in the coming years, readers can stay tuned for regular updates.
