$50M worth Deion Sanders once set a hilarious limit for daughter Shelomi Sanders' birthday gifts: "I think 5 dollars"

Deion Sanders loves his children equally, even though he picks his favorite child of the week all the time. But when it comes to setting a budget for his children's birthdays, he goes mum.

In 2022, a few days before her 19th birthday, Shelomi 'Bossy' Sanders went to her two-time Super Bowl champion father to ask for birthday gifts and money. The $50 million-worth head coach welcomed her and told her it was one of his favorite days.

Shelomi then pressed her father to set a limit for birthday money, as she wanted to buy clothes. She asked him for the highest amount that he could give her. Sanders said this to her in a hilarious manner:

"I think $5."

Both of them burst into laughter, and then Deion Sanders added:

Baby, I think you too old for real gifts. I think there's a certain age that when big gifts stop. Y'all gotta understand that."

Then Shelomi said:

"I respectfully need your pockets to hurt tomorrow."

Deion Sanders agreed to try his best and arranged for a birthday dinner. Shelomi recently celebrated her 20th birthday in December. Her birthday marks a milestone for Neon Deion, as all his children have entered adulthood.
