With a new worth of $2.5 Billion with a capital B, Jay-Z can afford pretty much anything he wants, and what he wants is all the luxury watches he can buy.
Now Jay-Z’s luxury watch collection is growing with the addition of a $5 million Hublot Big Bang, which is made of 18-karat white-gold encrusted with 1,282 diamonds that took more than a year to source all the diamonds, including the more than 100 carats of baguette diamonds on the watch itself plus another 179 baguette diamonds white gold case the watch comes in. Then we have the bracelet that you strap to your wrist that comes with 782 baguette diamonds. As if that wasn’t enough he also received as a part of the gift the watch’s white gold case that has an additional 179 baguette diamonds.
The watch took 14 months to assemble, and 40 months to source all the diamonds. The watch was given to him by his wife Beyoncé, and is one of the most complicated timepieces ever made.
Total cost for this one-of-a-kind watch: $5,000,000 million dollars.
This is by far the crown jewel of Jay-Z’s watch collection, but it is hardly alone.
Jay-Z owns enough watches to practically wear a different watch for every day of the year!
