Aaron Judge’s Eye-Catching $200,000 Splurge Leaves FIFA World Cup Winner’s Shiny Rolex in the Dust
Follow Us
Aaron Judge didn’t leave the 2022 season with 63 home runs alone. The star outfielder left the season as the greatest outfielder to enter the free market in modern-day baseball, and a guaranteed contract worth above $300 million from his long list of suitors. And exactly that happened, as Judge signed a $360 million, nine-year deal with the New York Yankees, which he made sure to display on the day he formally signed the deal with the MLB heavyweights.
Not only that, but the massive $200,000 purchase he made after signing the annual $40 million deal royally went past Argentinian World Cup-winning midfielder, Angel Di Maria‘s purchase, which he wore after arriving in Argentina with the World Cup.
