Christian McCaffrey, the NFL’s top-paid running back, earns $16 million annually, but he finds the cost of a Super Bowl suite beyond reach for watching the San Francisco 49ers face the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite their substantial earnings, McCaffrey, 27, and his fiancée Olivia Culpo, 31, with a wedding on the horizon, prioritize their financial planning towards their honeymoon. This revelation came from McCaffrey’s mother, Lisa, during an episode of her podcast, Your Mom, co-hosted with Ashley Adamson. Lisa humorously noted that neither Christian nor Olivia, affectionately dubbed “money bags,” could manage the suite’s steep price.
Contradicting the narrative of financial restraint, Olivia Culpo clarified through an Instagram Stories post, labelling the suite affordability issue as “fake news.” Highlighting her gesture as a birthday present for her future mother-in-law, Culpo, whose net worth is estimated at $10 million, disclosed she secured the suite for $2 million. Super Bowl suites at Acrisure Stadium in Las Vegas, hosting the 58th edition, are known for their premium pricing, ranging from $800,000 to $2,000,000.
The McCaffrey family, accustomed to the luxury of suite viewing for NFL games, faces a change this season. Ed McCaffrey, Christian’s father and a three-time Super Bowl champion with the 49ers in the 1990s, and his son aim to be the first father-son duo to win titles with the same team.
