Have you ever dreamed or even just wondered what it’s like to be rich and famous? Whether it’s in the field of acting, music, or sports, we can’t deny the fact that these A-list celebrities and athletes have raked their share of fortune in various ways such as sponsorships and brand deals, million-dollar exclusive contracts, real estate properties, luxury cars, and other business ventures.
Well, we won’t be talking about how to get famous in this video (unfortunately), but we’ll eavesdrop on how celebrities spend their riches on insane things that will leave our jaws dropping!
In this article, we’ll peek into the lavish life of American football player, Odell Beckham Jr. and how he spends his massive fortune!
Born on November 5, 1992 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Odell Beckham Jr., also known as OBJ, is one of the biggest stars in the National Football League and the wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams as of the publication of this video. He played college football at Louisiana State University prior to entering the NFL.
His popularity has not only been gaining much attention but so is his flamboyant personality and character.
OBJ gained so much popularity in 2014 when he debuted as a rookie for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys during the start of the 2nd quarter of the Week 12 game. What is widely regarded as one of the best catches in football history, Odell Beckham Jr. established his name winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. With his outstanding performance, OBJ has set a record for most ever receptions by an NFL rookie garnering about 61 catches in a 7-game span.
Amazing, isn’t it? But what is even more amazing is the amount of fortune that’s awaiting!
According to Forbes, OBJ became the NFL’s highest-paid wide receiver in 2018 when he signed a 5-year, 95-million-dollar contract with the New York Giants – reportedly 65 million of which was guaranteed and the other 41 million OBJ received upon signing the contract.
OBJ generates around 21.5 million dollars as a year’s salary and reportedly makes around 5 million a year from endorsements. Alongside his popularity as an NFL athlete, OBJ seems to be a magnet of a lot of media attention wherever he goes and with the big fortune he makes, people are curious how he spends it!
How does an Odell Beckham, Jr. make heads turn? Well, he sported not just an orange wristwatch in an NFL game but a whopping $190,000 dollar RM 11-03 McLaren, one of Richard Mille’s many racing-inspired watches. According to GQ magazine, prices could get up to $350,000 in secondary markets. Such an eye-catching wristwatch was enough for the NFL to give the wide receiver a warning about some prohibitions and restrictions of wearing hard, metal objects during games to which OBJ fired back saying that the league is only picking unnecessary problems with it adding that the watch is made of plastic. Well, I would say that such a piece of orange plastic has the potential to drain your bank account in no time! I would have preferred to brag about my wrist to my friends over dinner but bringing an almost $200,000 dollar watch to a football field is no joke for sure!
OBJ proves that his pieces of jewelry are nothing but a fashion statement when he flexes an even more expensive watch that only nine others like it have in the whole wide world. OBJ is one of the very few people in the world to own the $2 million-dollar Richard Mille 56-02 Tourbillon Sapphire. Only ten were made and each of these watches takes about 1,500 hours of sapphire machining. We only not admire OBJ’s courageous act to expose this piece of jewelry on the football field, but a $2 million dollar watch in front of hunk, strong guys is on another level!
With the massive earning power of OBJ following his rising popularity, it is unquestionable how he spends a portion of his wealth on his insane car collection.
Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG, one of OBJ’s first cars that made buzz-worthy headlines because of its strong choice of color and details. This black-on-red machine is a supreme edition with a striking supreme logo on the wheel center caps with a set of custom-painted Forgiato wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. These car accessory brands might not sound so familiar to some, but they do smell expensive and classy for sure!
To add to the list here’s a pearl-white Mercedes AMG GTS sitting on OBJ’s garage and is considered one of his most performance-based cars and is a hot possession of other athletes and A-list celebrities as well.
Let’s include a stunning Rolls Royce Wraith with a mix of matte white with rose gold accents on the wheels and the interior. No huge customization on the wheels though but just that the car was reported to have been completely dismantled to achieve OBJ’s preference and vision.
Odell Beckham Jr. is known for his exotic taste in cars and this Rolls Royce Cullinan is one of the many examples why. With striking orange color, it’s easy to assume that it is associated with his contract signing and joining with the Cleveland Browns. Now that’s one way of pampering yourself the OBJ style!
Along with his annual salary, OBJ made the biggest NFL deal with Nike when a five-year $29 million contract was negotiated in 2017 which was expected to increase to $84 million for eight years based on the bonus incentives.
It’s no question why OBJ has an entire closet of shoes in his house, and I’m not just referring to regular sneakers – most of them are custom-made as usual!
It’s as if the football field is becoming Odell Beckham Jr’s fashion show when it comes to footwear. Just this recent Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium field in L.A., OBJ flaunts his 1,494-diamond-studded cleat during pre-game warmup. This custom-made Nike piece was created by the “Jason of Beverly Hills” and has a total of 25-carat weight. According to Yahoo.com, the cleats will feature 150 grams of 14 carats yellow gold and are made with royal blue and yellow python.
This is not the only instance where OBJ showcased his inner creativity and flashy, eye-catching shoe designs like the one he wore as the Browns faced off against the New England Patriots which have golden tan accents and with a goat logo at the tongue of the shoe. Reports say that these cleats were made of real goat hair. Another look to add to the list is his cleats with tributes and festive childhood cartoon characters of video games including Kirby,Dora the Explorer, and The Simpsons to name a few.
With his extreme popularity, he established friendships with other A-list celebrities in the likes of Drake where OBJ spent springtime house-sitting the YOLO estate of the famous rapper. Little did he know that one day he’d own and live on the same level, if not more, of a luxurious property in New York as his career progresses.
His New York home is a three-story, 3,500-square foot property located in Hudson County equipped with nana walls on each floor facing the beautiful Manhattan. This home technology is a window-wall combination, transforming the room from indoor to outdoor with the push of a button. What a gorgeous way to relax from a day’s work with the beautiful views of the Big Apple!
Not much can be found about the details of his home, but we managed to find his designer kitchen features state-of-the-art industrial-grade, stainless-steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, which have a 93% quartz composition–undeniably the most beautiful, and one of the toughest minerals on earth.
This last item on the list is definitely a bonus.
Did you know that Odell Beckham Jr. spends a big amount of money to stay in shape? Yes, you heard that right and he has all the reasons as an athlete!
Getting back into shape and rehabbing his left leg due to a non-contact injury that happened back in 2020 and left him with no choice but to skip the rest of his season with the Cleveland Browns could be one of the reasons why he spends a whopping $300,000 dollars on his body during the offseason. From meeting with a chiropractor restoring his nerve flow for the nervous system to work at its optimum level to building his physique the best way possible – for an in-demand and sought-after athlete, it is certainly a to-do list!
With great fortune comes great possessions, indeed! From Dunkin Donuts ad with fellow footballer El Manning to Instagram sponsorship and Brand X launch, Odell Beckham Jr. proves that he is born to rise above what is expected of him.
We know for sure that these are just the tip of the iceberg. If you have the same amount of wealth as Odell Beckham Jr., how would you spend it? Feel free to leave your comments below!
