The NFL is undoubtedly the biggest sports league in the world, raking in revenues to the tune of $18 billion. And its players draw an average salary of $3.26 million. When you are a player with the size and clout of Travis Kelce, you definitely earn much more. From a Bengals player buying an actual Bengal tiger to pet alligators, NFL players spend their money on ridiculous things. But the Kansas City Chiefs TE likes to keep it classy rather than ostentatious, and his recent $41, 500 prized possession is a classic example.
Travis Kelce signed a four-year, $57.25 million contract extension with the Chiefs on August 14, 2020. He received $27 million in guarantees, $20.25 million of which is guaranteed at signing. And this is one of his most prized possessions.

Patrick Mahomes tops the list of most expensive watches owned by any Chiefs player with his $498,000 Rose Gold Rolex Daytona Rainbow. Rolex seems to be a favorite of the rich and famous with his partner on the field, Travis Kelce owning a Rolex Day-Date 40. The watch is priced at $41,500, not a big sum for the $57.5 million player.

The Oyster Perpetual Day‑Date 40 in 18 carat yellow gold features a white dial, fluted bezel and a President bracelet. For the horologist, the President bracelet, with its semi-circular three piece links, was created in 1956. The fluting though originally a functional element eventually became an aesthetic element. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on the Day‑Date 40. By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex’s commitment to excellence compliments Kelce’s own excellence on the gridiron field.
