Benjamin, Tom Brady’s son, did something no one saw coming—he sold the $3 million diamond-covered watch his father gave him after last year’s Super Bowl. It wasn’t just any gift. It was the most expensive, most meaningful thing Tom had ever handed down to his boy. Tom could’ve been furious. He could’ve said, “What were you thinking?” But instead, he choked up. Because Benjamin didn’t do it for himself—he did it to raise money, side by side with his dad, to help families in Texas crushed by the worst flood in a century. And What Tom Said After Will Break You

It was the most valuable thing he’d ever received. But he gave it away in the blink of an eye.

Just five months ago, Benjamin Brady, son of NFL legend Tom Brady, was gifted a $3 million diamond-encrusted watch—a Jacob & Co. Billionaire Mini Ashoka, with over 100 carats of diamonds and crafted in 18-carat white gold—during the 2025 Super Bowl celebration.

In a now-viral video, Tom places the timepiece on his son’s wrist with pride.

“Close your eyes,” Tom told Benjamin. “This one’s special.”

And it was. With only 18 ever made, the Ashoka was more than a watch—it was a symbol of legacy, of victory, of fatherhood.

But when Texas fell to its knees after the worst flood in state history—over 104 lives lost, including 27 young girls at Camp Mystic—Benjamin made a quiet, bold decision.

He sold the watch.

⌚ A $3 Million Sacrifice

Without fanfare or announcement, the teenage son of the GOAT called his father and said,

“Dad, I want to help. This doesn’t belong on my wrist when so many have nothing.”

The watch—valued at over $3 million and featuring 490 diamonds, according to InStyle—was auctioned through a private collector, with 100% of the proceeds donated to the Texas Flood Relief Fund.

Tom’s reaction?

“I should’ve scolded him,” Brady said through tears during an interview with CBS Mornings.
“That was the most meaningful gift I ever gave him. But somehow… he made it mean even more.”

🤝 Father and Son, Reunited in Purpose

The Brady men didn’t stop there. Together, they’ve pledged to match the watch’s value with personal donations and sponsorship deals, raising over $6 million to date.

“This wasn’t about a watch,” Tom said. “It was about character. And that kid… he reminded me what being a man really means.”

🕯️ The Power of a Symbol

The watch that once gleamed under Super Bowl lights has now become a symbol of something bigger—compassion, legacy, and sacrifice.

Social media exploded. NFL stars, celebrities, and even Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised the young Brady’s actions. One mother of a flood victim said,

“That boy gave up gold to give us hope. I’ll never forget his name.”

📞 A FaceTime That Started It All

What fans didn’t see was the moment after Benjamin sold the watch. Tom FaceTimed his older son, Jack

“Your brother just made me prouder than any trophy ever did,” Tom said.
“He gave away the crown—and made himself a king.”

Legacy isn’t what you keep. It’s what you give.

And on a quiet night in July, a teenager from the Brady family proved exactly that—one diamond at a time.
