Heavy is the hand that wears the ring.
Tom Brady added another piece of jewelry to his collection at Sunday night’s roast. Towards the end of the three-hour special, which was part of the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival, host Kevin Hart presented the New England Patriots icon with a splashy, six-carat stunner that was meticulously designed by none other than Jason Arashaben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills, TMZ reported. If you’re keeping count, the former quarterback has already racked up a record seven Super Bowl championship rings during his career. With his latest addition, well, he’s running out of fingers.
“Tom, you deserve another fucking ring, but a ring fitting for a GOAT like yourself,” Hart said before handing Brady the one-of-a-kind piece for being a good sport. Per the news site, the ring, which is valued at an eye-watering $40,000, is set in yellow gold and studded with roughly 400 diamonds, rubies, and sapphires for a dramatic effect.
“Honored to have made Tom Brady’s last two championship rings. One with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now again at his roast,” the Los Angeles-based jeweler wrote in a post shared to his Instagram page. “Might not be a Super Bowl ring, but we’ll take it.”
At the top and bottom are the words “Brady G.R.O.A.T.” and in the middle is a gold football followed by sparkly fire flames. One side of the ring’s band is inscribed with his last name, his jersey number, and the acronym “LFG.” The other side has “2024” written at the top with the silhouette of a goat underneath it.
The Roast of Tom Brady, which was live-streamed from the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., drew 2 million viewers when it aired over the weekend. Among the comedians tapped to take shots at the legendary QB were “roast master general” Jeff Ross, Nikki Glaser, Tony Hinchcliffe, Sam Jay, Andrew Schulz, Bert Kreischer, and Tom Segura. Brady’s former teammates Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Drew Bledsoe, and Randy Moss also took the stage along with his ex-coach Bill Belichick, and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Overall, it was the sixth most-watched program to crack the platform’s weekly top 10.
