Ric Flair, a WWE Hall of Famer and one of professional wrestling’s most legendary figures alongside icons like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, gained fame in the 1970s and 1980s. Known for his flashy style, Flair openly embraced luxury, revealing in an interview with former NFL player Julian Edelman on “Games with Names” that he never repeated an outfit and owned 300 pairs of alligator skin shoes, among many other extravagant possessions. Flair’s priciest purchase was a rare Mercedes-Benz AMG S63, one of only 160 made, which he bought for $200,000. He bragged about its 10,000 horsepower and his ability to speed at 200 miles per hour down Alligator Alley without fear of getting caught by police.
Beyond his love for high-performance cars, Flair’s image has always been closely tied to fashion and luxury, inspiring not just wrestlers but also rappers and athletes. He has been vocal about his vast collection of Rolex watches throughout his career, even admitting to losing 40 watches over time, including one during a party with fellow WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker.
Fan Take: Ric Flair’s extravagant lifestyle and larger-than-life persona continue to set a high standard in WWE, reminding fans why charisma and style are just as important as in-ring talent. His legacy shows that wrestling is as much about entertainment and personal branding as it is about the sport itself, influencing generations of performers and fans alike.
