"Ridiculous": Tom Brady slammed for spoiling teenage son with outrageous $3M watch gift
Tom Brady has turned heads once again—this time for a dazzling family moment. During Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans, the NFL legend gifted his son, Benjamin, a $3 million Jacob & Co.
Billionaire Mini Ashoka watch—an ultra-rare timepiece. It features over 100 carats of diamonds and is one of only 18 in the world.
A luxury surprise with a personal touch
The exchange took place during a private Super Bowl week gathering among close friends. Brady, known for his tightly guarded personal life, allowed cameras to catch this rare moment. It reflected a more relaxed, off-field version of the seven-time Super Bowl champion. The moment wasn't just about wealth—it was about legacy, emotion, and fatherhood.
In a video that quickly went viral, Brady surprised his 15-year-old son during a quiet moment. 'Close your eyes… put your wrist out,' he says, carefully placing the watch on Benjamin's wrist. He then hugs the teen and adds, 'I love you, buddy.' The emotion was visible on both sides. Benjamin, clearly stunned, looked down and asked, 'Is this real?' followed by, 'Whoa!'
The watch, from Jacob & Co.'s Billionaire series, is a celebrity favorite and ultra-rare.

It marked not just a gift, but a moment that blended luxury with deep family pride. Benjamin's reaction, caught alongside his friends' cheers, gave the moment viral energy. One friend shouted, 'Benny's iced out!' as laughter echoed through the room.
The lighthearted atmosphere was captured in full, showing a rare father-son connection. Brady, often known for his intensity on the field, offered a glimpse of quiet warmth.
It was a snapshot of his post-NFL life—filled with both legacy and love. For many, it felt more like a rite of passage than just a flashy gift.
Mixed reactions from fans online
While many admired the sentimental gesture, not all reactions were warm online. Some praised Brady for the emotional bond, others raised concerns over the excess. Social media erupted with a mix of humor, skepticism, and awe at the price tag.
One fan offered a compliment saying, 'Perfect timing.'
Another added, 'Sell it, buy a nice house and a Lambo.' Another commented, 'Time to teach him self-defense.' A fourth wrote bluntly, 'Ridiculous.'
Off the field, still in the spotlight
The moment unfolded while Brady was in New Orleans for his broadcasting duties. Now heading into his second season with Fox Sports, he's as busy off-field as ever. From media to investments to parenting, he continues juggling multiple roles. But for a brief moment, the spotlight was on something more personal—fatherhood.

Kriti Sanon BREAKS Silence On Social Media Hate At SheShakti 2025: 'It's Just People Venting Their Bhadaas'
Last Updated: At SheShakti 2025, Kriti Sanon spoke about online trolls, saying she doesn't pay heed to negativity and prefers using social media to connect with fans beyond films. Kriti Sanon, who attended CNN-News18's SheShakti Delhi Edition on Thursday, spoke candidly about how she navigates social media in an age where celebrities are constantly under scrutiny. The actor admitted that while comments—positive or negative—keep coming her way, she chooses not to give them undue importance. Addressing how she deals with the barrage of comments, Kriti admitted she has learned not to take them seriously. 'I don't pay heed to comments or what people are saying because I feel like someone's taking their own life's 'bhadaas' on someone else. So I don't really take it seriously," she said, suggesting that trolling is more a reflection of the critic than the person targeted. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Showsha (@showsha_) With a laugh, she elaborated on why she chooses not to engage with faceless remarks. 'I feel that if I don't know you, am I really gonna respond to what you say, if you say something nicely to me, no. So no, I feel like social media I try using it for the good part of it which is like I like connecting with my fans. And I like connecting with people beyond just films. I also feel like filmein ek saal mein do aati hai, matlab shayad hi 3 aajaye. Kabhi kabhi ek bhi nahi hoti ek saal mein. So it's nice to have a constant connection with your fans through social media platforms. But other than that, I feel like no one's really gonna remember you for your social media." By underlining the fleeting nature of online chatter, Kriti highlighted what truly matters to her. For the actor, social media is simply a tool for staying in touch with fans during the gaps between films, not a measure of her worth. 'So no, I feel like social media I try using it for the good part of it which is like I like connecting with my fans… But other than that, I feel like no one's really gonna remember you for your social media," she concluded. The SheShakti 2025 grand finale in New Delhi carried the theme 'From Breaking Barriers to Building Bharat" and saw a powerful lineup that included Sanya Malhotra, Smriti Irani, Lindy Cameron, Nidhi Khare, Rekha Gupta, and Mallika Srinivasan, alongside Kriti Sanon. The platform continues to spotlight women's leadership and create dialogues that redefine traditional boundaries. On the work front, Kriti will soon appear opposite Dhanush in Aanand L. Rai's Tere Ishk Mein. Reports also hint at her joining the cast of Farhan Akhtar's highly anticipated Don 3. Whether through headlining ambitious projects or lending her talent to iconic franchises, Kriti Sanon continues to emerge as one of the most dynamic and versatile stars of her generation.
