Travis Kelce’s Lavish Gifts to Chiefs Teammates After Italian Inspiration
Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has never been one to shy away from extravagance, and it seems his recent trip to Europe has only fueled his desire for opulence. After reportedly “falling in love with Italy” during his summer travels, Kelce has returned stateside with a newfound appreciation for all things luxurious – and he’s been sharing that enthusiasm with his Chiefs teammates in a big way.
Sources close to the team have revealed that Kelce spent over $130,000 on an array of high-end gifts for his fellow Chiefs players, looking to spread the wealth and foster team camaraderie following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory last season.
“Travis came back from that Italy trip and he was just brimming with excitement,” one anonymous player told reporters. “He kept going on about the fashion, the food, the culture – he was totally smitten. And I guess he wanted to bring a little bit of that Italian flair back to the locker room.”
Among the lavish items Kelce doled out were custom-made, diamond-encrusted necklaces bearing the Chiefs’ logo, each valued at upwards of $15,000. He also commissioned a series of hand-crafted, Italian leather luggage sets, as well as a fleet of high-performance espresso machines to ensure the team stays caffeinated during the rigorous NFL season.
“Travis really went all out,” the player continued. “I mean, the guy spent more on gifts for us than some people make in a year. But you can tell he put a ton of thought into it and wanted to do something special to bring us together as a team.”
Kelce’s spending spree is just the latest example of the Pro Bowler’s reputation for extravagance. Last year, he famously rented out an entire movie theater for his Chiefs teammates to watch the premiere of the new Top Gun film, an experience that cost him an estimated $50,000.
With the Chiefs poised for another deep playoff run, it’s clear that Kelce is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to foster team unity and provide his teammates with the ultimate in luxury and comfort. Whether the rest of the league can keep up with the Chiefs’ opulent tastes remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Travis Kelce has taken gift-giving to a whole new level.
