Carmelo Anthony is one of the biggest earners in NBA history. Being a good scorer throughout his career earned him lucrative deals anywhere he went. Add to it the fact that he played 19 years in the league, one can imagine the bag Melo secured over his professional career. But that wasn’t enough for the 10x All-Star. He is following various business endeavors in retirement, making Carmelo one of the bigger entrepreneurs to come out of the league.

With a net worth of $160 million, Anthony is known to spend his money on collectibles and items he likes. But Carmelo collects things to wear and does not just look at them. This time we got to see the luxurious watch owned by the iconic #7, but it contrasted with what his recent co-host Kevin Hart brought out.

In a recent episode of the SiriusXM podcast hosted by Kevin Hart, the special guest was New York Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony. Once the show aired, people noticed the watches the two were wearing. Having made millions in their lives, they both decided to cash out some of it to bling out every once in a while. Both legends in their own fields brought out flashy gold watches for the podcast.

Notably, Melo retired with over $400 million in NBA earnings. And it was on full display during his conversation with the 5’2 comedian.

Carmelo Anthony wore his Rolex ‘Day-Date’ 40, made with 18-karat rose gold. It’s called the ‘Day-Date’ because, as the name suggests, it shows both the day and the date on the dial. It also had a chocolate-colored dial.

The watch is not in production anymore. A pre-owned one will net you around $48,799 in the current market according to Robb report.

Having close to three times the net worth of the NBA legend, Kevin Hart stepped his game way up and brought out an even more expensive watch. Hart wore the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watch made out of solid gold. It is a 39-mm dial, and is also no longer in production.

It’s safe to say that Hart won the head-to-head this time. But given his business savvy, one can expect Melo’s net worth to stay on the rise too.
