Joe Mixon Had $400k Worth Of Diamond Jewelry Flown In For Yesterday's Playoff Game
© Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports
For Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Mixon his first playoff game he went all out ordering more than $400k worth of jewelry...
quote:

TMZ Sports is told ... the Pro Bowl running back wanted to do something extra special for his first postseason appearance, so he hit up his go-to guy Gabriel The Jeweler last week to whip something together.

We're told the order -- a special made Cuban link chain, iced-out Audemars Piguet, and diamond ring -- would usually take about a month to complete ... but Gabriel's team worked late for 8 straight days to come through for Mixon.

The finished product is incredible -- the chain has 170 carats of VVS diamonds (including emerald cuts), and the rose gold AP has 36 carats of diamonds with emerald cuts on the
band.

He makes 12M a year plus bonuses. He made the pro-bowl and won a playoff game. That is probably his bonus check. Plus, the value on that stuff will only go up. I think it is an incredibly dumb investment but I have several customers with over $500k in jewelry for their wives and they make less than Mixon. I get the dumb broke stuff but I think that is a common misconception.

"Plus, the value on that stuff will only go up. " Lol, it may be worth 30% what he paid for it, biggest markup market in world.

That gaudy, custom jewelry will only increase in value if scrap prices go up. It's worth nowhere near what he paid for it.

Could be worse. Could be cars and bitches. At least the jewelry will remain valuable.
