BenDaDonnn Says He Bought Drake A Rolex Worth Over $200K — Then Flexed A Watch Collection Reported At $2M+
Streamer money is moving like rapper money. BenDaDonnn says he went all out for Drake’s 40th birthday — and then opened his own watch case on livestream to show he is playing the same game.
On his livestream, Ben revealed he bought Drake a rare Rolex for his milestone birthday on October 24. The watch reportedly cost over $200,000 and is said to feature rubies, baguette-cut diamonds and a pavé Roman-numeral dial. It is believed to be an off-catalog Rolex — the kind of factory-produced piece that never appears in the brand’s regular collection. Its exact reference has not been independently confirmed.
The purchase came with a twist: by Ben’s own account on the stream, Drake had specifically told his close friends he did not want birthday gifts, saying he would rather celebrate turning 40 surrounded by the people he loves. Ben bought the watch anyway.
Days later, the attention turned to Ben’s own wrist game. On stream, he displayed a lineup reported at more than $2 million combined: a black ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked (the AP Skeleton), two Richard Milles — an RM 67-02 Mutaz Barshim and an RM 005 — and a Patek Philippe Aquanaut. The total has not been independently appraised; values depend on the exact models, materials and the resale market.
For the record, Drake’s own one-of-one Ice Gradient Rolex Daytona — the blue sapphire and diamond piece he debuted in August and wore during his 40th birthday celebrations — is a separate watch from the ruby Rolex Ben says he purchased.
Between a six-figure gift for the biggest rapper alive and a personal case reported in the millions, BenDaDonnn is making a loud case that the streamers have arrived in the luxury watch conversation.
Is the streamer watch flex officially the new rapper chain flex?
