Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has once again made headlines with his lavish lifestyle, splurging a staggering $1.5 million on luxury wristwatches in a single day.
The Grammy-winning artist added two Richard Mille timepieces and a Patek Philippe to his growing collection, as seen in a viral video capturing the extravagant purchase. The footage shows Burna Boy flaunting his new acquisitions, wearing two watches on both wrists while beaming with excitement.
In the background, an associate of the singer can be heard enthusiastically announcing the cost of the high-end watches. A staff member from the luxury store also provides details about the exclusive pieces, revealing that one of the Richard Mille watches is a Bubba Watson edition with factory-set diamonds. Burna Boy, ever the connoisseur of fine things, proudly notes that it’s “no aftermarket,” emphasizing its authenticity and rarity.
The second Richard Mille, identified as the Rafael Nadal RM35-03, is the fourth model in its generation, further solidifying Burna’s status as a collector of elite timepieces.

At one point in the video, Burna appears to lose count of how many Richard Mille watches he owns, prompting someone off-camera to quip, “Imagine losing count of how many Richard Mille you got.” After doing the math, the singer confidently confirms that his collection now boasts seven of the sought-after brand’s timepieces.
This latest indulgence is just another example of Burna Boy’s penchant for luxury. In 2024, he made waves when he purchased a custom diamond-studded Rolls-Royce, proving that his taste for the finer things in life knows no bounds.
