Luke Combs: The Country Star With A Fortune And A Passion For Watches

With more than 15 No. 1 songs and many tours under his belt, Luke Combs comes in at No. 19 on a list of the 20 top-grossing country artists of all time. To date, his shows have pulled in a whopping $225.6 million dollars! So, it's safe to say that by now, Combs has amassed a small fortune. I recently had the chance to speak to him, and one of the things I had to know was, what does Luke Combs splurge on?

The answer kind of shocked me in the sense of how ordinary his spending habits are. “Probably watches, man, that’s probably the biggest thing I would say,” Combs says of how he spends his extra cash. “For the most part, I’m pretty reigned in, ya know? I’ll go on an Amazon shopping spree every once in a while, get a bunch of canned Gatorade, or something like that.”

Combs loves watches — fancy ones. I asked him if he has a vintage, sought-after Pepsi Rolex watch. This is where it gets interesting, because you can tell how big his watch collection is just by his series of replies to this question. At first, he said no — he doesn’t have the Pepsi Rolex watch, but after thinking for a second, he corrected himself: “I do, actually, I do! I have a 1976 Pepsi Rolex, yep.”
