The Most Famous Gifts and Fine Jewelry in Sports

Eric NewmanDec 14, 2011

What good is a multi-million dollar salary, if you don't indulge?  

Diamonds come in as many colors as Lucky Charm marshmallows, you have 32 teeth (unless you're a hockey player) awaiting to be gilded, there are hangars to store your private jets, marinas for your private yachts; not even the sky is the limit (looking to buy some lunar real estate? Look no further.)

Click on to see some of the most extravagant purchases for or by athletes. 

10. Mike Pouncey's Watch

Purchase Price: Unknown

For/From: Jamarcus/Jarmarcus

Occasion: Unknown

Check out the last seconds of the video for a glimpse of the diamond encrusted mini-Jamarcus neck wear emblazoned with the word "chosen". The question that now irks is "chosen for what?" To be the biggest draft bust of all time? To lead the Swashbucklers to fame and fortune?

Resembles one of those Amazonian shrunken heads, doesn't it? Well, instead of cured flesh and bone, this pendant is made of a whopping 2.9 pounds of 14k gold, and is covered in diamonds. Even the hair is made of diamond chains.The chain is white gold.

1. Elgin Wood's "Privacy"

10 of 10

Purchase Cost: $20 Million

Occasion: Wedding

The 155' floating palace reverted back to Tiger in the divorce settlement and it's now for sale. In case you still need a gift for that special someone, Tiger's asking 25 million for it, but it's likely you can bargain him down 5 or 6 million.
