Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Klay Thompson and Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion are making headlines after their public debut at a high-profile charity event in New York City.
The duo attended Megan’s, 30, Pete & Thomas Foundation Charity Gala at Gotham Hall on Wednesday, July 16. At the gathering, Thompson, 35, was spotted wearing what appears to be a $300,000 luxury watch gifted by the “Hot Girl Summer” artist.
During the star-studded charity gala, Thompson was captured in a viral video showing off his expensive new timepiece while dressed in a classic black-and-white tuxedo. The four-time NBA champion couldn’t hide his excitement as he showed off the luxury watch.
“The evening has just begun too, it’s just a little past 8, oh boy. We got a night ahead of us,” Thompson said in the video, clearly impressed with his new accessory.
When complimented on the watch, Thompson proudly revealed its origin. “Thank you, brother. Megan gifted me this. Yeah. What a sweet lady,” he added with a smile.
Watch experts and fans have speculated that the silver wristlet is likely an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, a Swiss watch that can retail for around $300,000 depending on the specific model.
Social media users have had mixed reactions to the watch, with some fans questioning the timing and scale of such a lavish present.
One fan commented on the clip, saying, “They’ve been together 2 days wtf,” while other users jokingly referred to Megan as Thompson’s “sugar momma.”
However, gift-giving appears to be mutual between the pair. The rapper previously posted a now-deleted TikTok video showing her unboxing multiple Labubu dolls gifted by Thompson.
In the video, the rapper was seen sitting on Thompson’s lap as she thanked him for the presents, even referring to him as “baby.”
While some fans may argue about the gift giving, it seems both can afford to splurge, as Megan’s net worth is reportedly $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Thompson, for his part, is worth a staggering $140 million — demonstrating that both stars clearly have the financial means to exchange such expensive presents.
With their combined wealth exceeding $170 million, the duo has quickly established themselves as one of entertainment’s newest power couples.
