Tom Brady surprised his teen son with a $3M watch and folks had opinions: ‘Ridiculous'
Tom Brady is old school. Despite the fact that most teenagers tell time on their phones, the NFL legend gifted his 15-year-old son a watch. Not just any watch. Benjamin (whose mom is supermodel Gisele) is now the proud owner of a Jacob & Co. Billionaire Mini Ashoka. Price tag? A cool $3 million. The Hall of Famer gave the kid the luxe timepiece because, well, he could. The 47-year-old ex baller showed off his generosity during a behind the scenes (BTS) video on YouTube on Super Bowl Sunday. 'I wasn't playing this time,' Brady wrote, 'so I got to have a little more fun [and] bring the family along for the ride.' The clip starts in a hotel room in New Orleans where the big LIX game was held earlier this month. Benjamin is sitting on a couch; Brady tells him to close his eyes and put out his arm, then places the pricey, diamond studded accessory on his wrist. 'It feels ... shiny,' said the Miami Country Day student. 'OK, look,' Brady told his son, whose reaction was 'Whoa.' 'Benny's iced out,' joked one of his pals in the suite. It's unclear if the watch is a loaner, or will be going into a safety deposit box until he's 21. Regardless, the Internet had opinions about Brady's over the top move. Under a post from Entertainment Tonight, which shared his video, folks flooded the comments section to voice their disapproval/disgust/concern. Most were of the opinion that the Mini Ashoka was an unnecessary indulgence and so much more could be done with that money. 'Yeah, because every 15 year old should have a $3 million watch.' 'Ridiculous… such a waste of money for a teen! Donate that kind of money to a good cause like fire or flood victims.' 'This kid will not be able to wear the watch in public without a bodyguard!' 'I mean, sure he has the money but gross…' 'Very dangerous to announce this.' 'Divorce Bling. Parents outspending for 'love.' Won't get him any more dates tho. Stay safe.' 'This is so out of my league I'm not even going to read the story.'

Tom Brady's $740K gold watch steals the show at Super Bowl 2025
Tom Brady brought some serious bling to New Orleans. The former quarterback grabbed attention during Super Bowl 2025 with his gold Jacob & Co. watch, valued at approximately $740,000. Lifelong Patriots fan and Brady supporter Dave Portnoy took notice of his flashy accessory and used the moment to promote his own Brick Watch company, which comes at a much lower price. 'Oh my god! Is Brady wearing a Brick Watch?' Portnoy wrote on X. Courtesy: AP Super Bowl 2025 marked Brady's debut as an announcer, and the seven-time champion was—using the famous words of wrestler Ric Flair—'stylin' and profilin'.' According to Page Six, his watch is a Caviar Tourbillon in Yellow Sapphires, featuring 338 baguette- and rose-cut yellow sapphires, totaling nearly 49 carats, along with 338 brilliant-cut diamonds. 'Tom Brady is the epitome of excellence, both on and off the field,' Jacob & Co. CEO Benjamin Arabov said in a press release. 'The Caviar Tourbillon embodies the precision, luxury and innovation that define Jacob & Co. We're honored to have him represent the artistry and craftsmanship behind every piece we create.' Brady waited until kickoff to showcase the watch, opting for a different high-end timepiece during the pregame show. Page Six reported that he wore a Billionaire Mini Ashoka, which boasts 100 carats of diamonds. Brady's first time calling a Super Bowl didn't quite match the excitement of his legendary 2017 comeback, when he led the Patriots to an overtime victory against the Falcons after trailing 28-3.
