Combining the useful with the pleasant for ever more profit: this is what Drake asked for his birthday. The rapper celebrated his 35th birthday on October 24. For the occasion, he offered himself a watch – a unique model of the designer Richard Mille – released in 2019 at a price of 2.8 million dollars. Its singularity and rarity means that its price would have doubled in two years.
Encased in a sapphire crystal, the watch mechanism is visible. Today, this big gem is estimated to be worth nearly $ 5.5 million. It remains to be seen whether his value will rise further, making this little gift from him to himself one of his best investments.
Richard Mille watches are currently very popular with American rappers. Cardi B, Offset, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Young Thug or even Future received or offered a watch from the jeweler during the year 2021.
Drake got a whole bunch of presents for his birthday. His super mate Future bought him a copy of the Rolls-Royce Phantoms that he used to rent at the start of his career, when he couldn’t buy it at the time, in 2007.
