On Tuesday morning, Jayson Tatum made a TV appearance to announce a partnership for his charity foundation. While talking about his new million-dollar partnership, the Boston Celtics star was seen wearing a high-priced accessory.

The Patek Philipee watch has a retail price of $102,170.32. Still early in his NBA career, Tatum has done well from a financial standpoint. This season, he's set to make $32.6 million. Through his first seven seasons, Tatum's earnings sit at over $120 million.

Jayson Tatum speaks on Boston Celtics criticism
Since Jayston Tatum entered the league, the Boston Celtics have been one of the top tems in the Eastern Conference. He has led them on multiple deep playoff runs, but they've not secured the title.
The closest Tatum got to his first ring came in 2022, when Boston reached the NBA Finals, but they were unable to take down Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
This season, the Celtics are once again one of the top teams in the league. They have the best overall record, 41-12, and have created a sizable gap for first place in the Eastern Conference.
Despite all their success, NBA legend Charles Barkley does not see them as a true contender, having spoken out in the past about the Celtics not being mentally tough enough to get over the hump.
Tatum was asked about these remarks on CBS mornings, he and had a humble answer. He respected Barkley's opinion and understands that nobody is going to believe in the team until they get the job done.
"Nobody can win a championship until you do it. So nobody's going to give us the credit until we actually do it," Tatum said. "That's fine. We don't necessarily pay attention to that."
After coming up short last season, the Celtics made some big changes to their roster. They parted ways with longtime guard Marcus Smart and brought in All-Star talents Jrue Holiday and Kristpas Porzingis.
These changes have turned Boston into a legitimate title contender, having the NBA's second-best offense and the third-best defense.
