Kevin O’Leary wears $19.5 million basketball card necklace on SAG Actor Awards 2026 red carpet
Kevin O’Leary might star in a film about ping pong, but he’s repping a different sport on the SAG Actor Awards 2026 red carpet.
The investor-turned-actor accessorized his blingy suit with an even flashier accessory; he wore an autographed Michael Jordan-Kobe Bryant basketball card as a necklace — and while he was one of three people who purchased it in August for $12.9 million, he told AP the “one of one” collector’s item is now worth a staggering $19.2 million.
“I’m looking at this card at the same way as if you could have bought a Picasso in 1962,” he added, noting that the historic investment piece has “done better than crypto.”
If that weren’t enough, he added extra star-power to the card with a dazzling Tiffany chain necklace and diamond-encrusted frame. (While he told a reporter he wasn’t sure how much the custom bling added to the valuation, a similar — yet far smaller — chain retails for $275,000.)
“I brought this back because I want to bring Kobe back to LA on such a big night in the city,” he added of the late sports legend. “It’s the first time we brought it out; I thought it would be great for the red carpet.”
The sought-after item set a record last year for the most ever paid for a sports card — and became the second most expensive sports collectible of all time, only behind Babe Ruth’s jersey from 1932.
For its red carpet debut, the “Shark Tank” star paired the “Tiffany-powered” card with an equally flashy sequined tuxedo jacket.
And he added not one but two watches with bright red bands.
While he’s not nominated individually tonight, “Marty Supreme” is up for several awards, including outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture.
He plays cutthroat businessman Milton Rockwell in the film, starring opposite Timothée Chalamet, as the titular table tennis player.
