Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Klay Thompson and Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion are turning heads following their official debut as a couple at a major charity event in New York City.
The pair stepped out together at Megan’s Pete & Thomas Foundation Charity Gala held at Gotham Hall on Wednesday, July 16. At the event, the 35-year-old NBA star was seen rocking what looked like a $300,000 luxury watch—a lavish gift from the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper.
In a viral video from the evening, Thompson, dressed sharp in a black-and-white tux, proudly showed off the pricey timepiece. The four-time NBA champ looked thrilled as he flashed the watch for the cameras.
“The evening has just begun too, it’s just a little past 8, oh boy. We got a night ahead of us,” Thompson said in the clip, clearly feeling the moment.
When someone complimented his watch, Thompson didn’t hesitate to share the sweet backstory: “Thank you, brother. Megan gifted me this. Yeah. What a sweet lady,” he said with a smile.
Watch experts and fans believe the sleek silver timepiece Klay Thompson flaunted is likely an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak—a high-end Swiss watch that can go for around $300,000, depending on the model.
Social media’s response to the gift has been a mix of surprise and skepticism, with some fans raising eyebrows at how soon such an extravagant present was exchanged. “They’ve been together 2 days wtf,” one user commented, while others playfully dubbed Megan Thee Stallion as Thompson’s “sugar momma.”
But it looks like the gifting goes both ways. Megan previously shared a now-deleted TikTok video of herself unboxing several Labubu dolls—gifts from Thompson. In the clip, she’s seen sitting on his lap, calling him “baby” and gushing over the adorable presents.
While the gift-giving may spark debate online, the two stars certainly have the wallets to back it up. Megan reportedly has a net worth of $30 million, while Thompson is sitting on a whopping $140 million fortune.
With a combined net worth north of $170 million, Megan and Klay are quickly solidifying their status as one of the newest power couples in entertainment.
