23:43Now PlayingWith three TV jobs (and counting), pro football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan makes his days seem longer than 24 hours—and rewards himself with a multimillion-dollar watch collection. But at 53, he’s already dreaming of retiring. Again.
Fresh from a Wednesday taping of Good Morning America, Michael Strahan heads to downtown Manhattan cradling two leather watch cases in the crook of his left arm, like he’s just recovered a fumble. Embossed with his initials, MAS, each holds four watches worth nearly $1 million in total. “I just grabbed a bunch,” Strahan says of his collection, which includes some 40 watches, including Audemars Piguet, De Bethune, Hublot and plenty of Rolex Daytonas.
“A Daytona was my first big watch purchase when I came to the NFL. If it says Rolex Daytona on it, I have it,” he says. “I think it’s like me: durable, sustainable and versatile.”
“I never expected my career to be what it has been, or continues to be, at all,” Strahan says, wearing a $76,000 “John Mayer” Rolex. “I always liked nice things, but I never knew I’d be able to afford a lot of nice things. It’s given me an appreciation for what I have because I know what it’s like to always want something and not be able to have it.”
In addition to his watch collection—which Forbes estimates is worth some $2 million—Strahan also collects cars and spirits, but he says watches are “like artworks” that also measure success.
