Recently, Forbes established their 100 World’s Highest-Paid Entertainers 2017 list with members raking in a combined amount of $5.15 billion from June 2016 to June 2017. As we combed through the list, we couldn’t help but notice that so many of these very wealthy celebrities are Rolex owners too! To a large of extent, the fact is that we can’t cover them all in just one article. We made up of mind to create a short list of some of the wealthiest athletes wearing replica Rolex watches.
UFC megastar, Conor McGregor, is both a solid fighter and lover of the finer things in life. The world champ regularly flaunts his yellow gold Yacht-Master II, Everose gold Sky-Dweller.
Stephen Curry’s earnings that got him a spot on this list is prior to his recent massive $201 million contract extension with the 2016-17 NBA Champions, the Golden State Warriors. Since this is the richest contract in NBA history, we expect him to rank much higher on next year’s Forbes’ list. Will the fan favorite pick up some more Rolex watches to join his Deepsea watch?
Long-time NBA fixture, Carmelo Anthony takes watches very seriously. So seriously in fact that he’s co-founder of Haute Time magazine. Among so many other timepieces, he has a white gold Sky-Dweller, a stainless steel Yacht-Master II, and several yellow gold Day-Date watches in his fabulous collection.
Fellow Golden State Warrior player, Kevin Durant is just as active in Silicon Valley as an investor in tech start-ups as he is on the basketball court. He’s also a fake Rolex fan and wears the very sought-after stainless steel Daytona with the ceramic bezel regularly.
While the NBA championship ring eluded him this year, LeBron James remains the highest paid NBA player on this list. Although Audemars Piguet created a special edition Royal Oak Offshore watch in his honor several years ago, King James has been spotted more recently wearing Rolex replica watches.
Even through Cristiano Ronaldo—the highest paid athlete on the list—is an official brand ambassador of replica TAG Heuer, that doesn’t stop the soccer star from wearing his yellow gold Daytona and Sky-Dweller watches from time to time.
There you have it; incredible athletes and their watches that they choose to sport. Don’t miss Part II of this series where we cover the cheap Rolex watches of the musicians that made it onto the Forbes’ 100 World’s Highest-Paid Entertainers 2017 list.
