Newly Signed Celtics Star Jayson Tatum Teams up with Richard Mille, Current Holder of the 400-Meter Record. Jayson Tatum, the standout player recently signed by the Celtics, has joined forces with Richard Mille, the current holder of the 400-meter record.

In a recent game between the Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Tatum made a notable fashion statement before the match was called off. He wore a remarkable accessory—a bespoke Richard Mille timepiece worth $210,000. This collaboration with Wayde van Niekerk, a track and field athlete from South Africa, features a unique “South Africa” concept.

Van Niekerk is renowned for his excellence in the 200 and 400 meter races, holding both the Olympic and world records in the latter. He also ranks among the top performers in the 300-meter category worldwide.

Jayson Tatum’s contract with the Boston Celtics was extended for five years in 2020. He is set to earn $32.6 million in the current season, which marks the third year of his contract. With a player option of $37 million for 2026, the four-time All-Star is expected to earn $34.8 million in 2025.
