Drake, the richest rapper in the world (he owns a total net worth of about 180 million US dollars). He was willing to spend $50,000 to celebrate the Rec Basketball Championship, so $2.2 million for a watch was not out of the question for him.
This exclusive Richard Mille RM 56-02 Tourbillon is a masterpiece, with the base, bridge and third gear created from sapphire.
There are only ten watches available in the world.
The watch is equipped with a hand-wound tourbillon movement with hour, minute and power indicators. Unsurprisingly, they were all sold out, and one of them belonged to the singer whose album topped the charts, Certified Lover Boy.
Drake is as famous for his lavish spending as he is for his musical talent. He bought this custom luxury watch, and called it an “easy money year,” referring to his album’s successful period.
Costing $1.4 million more than a Mercedes-Maybach SUV, he previously bought a Hastens luxury mattress worth $400,000 for his palatial mansion.
