Travis Kelce paid for a $1million suite at the Super Bowl for Taylor Swift, family and friends
His parents Ed and Donna, brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie all enjoyed the best seats
While many coveted a seat at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas this past February, Travis Kelce’s $1 million suite stole the spotlight as the ultimate destination within the venue.
As the Kansas City Chiefs battled the San Francisco 49ers for the coveted Lombardi trophy, the tight end spared no expense to ensure that his family and girlfriend, Taylor Swift, enjoyed the best seats in the house.
According to sources reported by TMZ, Travis Kelce footed the bill for the lavish suite at Allegiant Stadium. When Super Bowl Sunday arrived, his mother Donna, father Ed, brother Jason, sister-in-law Kylie, Taylor Swift, and several other A-listers were treated to the luxury as Kelce and the Chiefs secured their third title in five years.
“I’m not really doing much different other than just counting how much money I’m spending on this damn Super Bowl for family and friends to come,” Kelce shared on the New Heights podcast before the game. “Just making sure I’m on top of those finances and losing all this money.”
The star-studded suite also hosted celebrities like Blake Lively, Ice Spice, Lana Del Rey, Quavo, Paul McCartney, and Miles Teller as they witnessed the Chiefs and 49ers battle it out in a dramatic game bound for the history books.
Shaquille O’Neal said that his goal in life was to buy his mother Lucille ‘anything she wants’
Fans can attribute Shaquille O’Neal’s dominance on the basketball court to his mother, Lucille.
Dr. Shaq, who clinched four NBA titles and three Finals MVP awards during his illustrious Hall-of-Fame career, always had a singular goal in mind: giving back to his mother. Despite amassing approximately $292 million in salary alone, O’Neal remained steadfast in his commitment to honoring his mother’s sacrifices.
The NBA legend once shared an endearing anecdote about his mother’s indifference towards designer accessories. Despite Lucille not being a fan of luxury purses, O’Neal surprised her on her birthday by purchasing not one, but two Louis Vuitton handbags.
“It was my mom’s birthday, and she don’t even like Louis purses,” O’Neal revealed to Patrick Bet-David in 2022. “I say ‘Come, let’s take a ride.’ And you know the bag [cost] two thousand. ‘No baby, don’t buy that.’ ‘Get two of them, Mom.’ That right there is what being wealthy and successful is to me.”
