Tom Brady keeps buying multi-million dollar yachts after his company received a huge PPP loan.
And that’s a terrible look.
This week, Brady appeared on a show for the company Wajer Yachts to gab about his new $6 million, 77-foot vessel. Just five months ago, Brady purchased a 40-footer for a cool $2 million. Around that time, TB12 Sports received a $960,000 loan from the federal government to help stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I wonder if Brady applied for the money while touring his new $17 million Miami Beach property.
“I was in New England for a lot of years, which is kind of a boating community,” Brady said during the Wajer 77 livestream. “But moving down to Tampa Bay last year, I live right here on this beautiful bay. The first thing I did when I got here was I said, ‘I need a boat. I need to get out here on this beautiful water.’”
Brady often attaches himself to luxury brands, from Rolls Royce to TAG Heuer. The humble sixth-round pick joined the ranks of the uber-rich long ago.
But Brady’s incessant flaunting of his wealth is a new phenomenon. With around 10 million Americans unemployed, it is exceptionally tone-deaf.
Though major companies and corporations were shamed into returning $30 billion in PPP loans, TB12 kept its $960,000, and Brady doesn’t appear to harbor any guilt. (The PPP program ran out of money this week, about one month earlier than scheduled.)
He showed up to Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl boat parade on the deck of his now-overshadowed “Viva a Vida” boat, where he proceeded to toss the Lombardi Trophy.
And now that Brady is out of New England, we can toss our TB12 blinders. “Yachtie Brady” is the worst Brady.
