Pete Davidson left college after the first semester to pursue stand-up comedy as his career. After making small-time appearances in MTV shows and an episode on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Davidson auditioned for Saturday Night Live, which landed him a spot as a cast member. At the age of 20, he became the youngest cast member of SNL and the first from the 1990s. His mock humor and relatable jokes earned him critical acclaim during his first season on the show, and Pete became a breakout star. Since then, he has landed many roles in movies, starred in brand endorsements, and become a fixture in pop culture. The comedian has earned a massive net worth of $8 million within a short period.
Pete Davidson has never been a big spender and likes to live a simple lifestyle. However, the comedian has many a few large purchases and invested in real estate, automobiles, and sleek timepieces. From his condo to an NYC bar, let’s look at Pete Davidson’s most expensive purchases.
High-Rise Condo ($1.2 million)
After living in his mother’s basement in his Staten Island home, Pete Davidson moved into a spacious high-rise condo in December 2020. According to Architectural Digest, the $1.2 million home features two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. His luxurious bachelor pad also has many additional amenities, including soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a Jacuzzi tub, and a large terrace overlooking the stunning New York City. The colorful home has a Hawaiian-themed bedroom with a purple kitchen.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class ($250,000)
Pete Davidson is not particularly fond of cars and prefers to keep his purchases low-profile, but he made his first big purchase in 2018 by buying a Mercedes Benz S-Class. The story of getting the car dates back to his childhood when his grandfather wished he could drive in a Mercedes S-Class. After the purchase, his grandfather enjoyed an emotional ride in the black limo. The comedian was spotted arriving in his S-Class at a private airport in New York to pick up his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian after her flight.
Staten Island Ferry ($280,100)
Along with a small group of investors, including his SNL castmate Colin Jost, Pete took part in NYC’s government auction, wherein a ferry was up for bidding in 2022. The group bought the ferry for the winning bid of $280,100. Called The Kennedy, the boat was constructed in 1965 and retired in August 2021, as stated by the New York Times. As a Staten Island native, the ferry boat is special for Davidson as the group plans to turn it into a lucrative transport later.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class ($130,900)
While Davidson took Instagram to share the news of purchasing an S-Class, he didn’t announce purchasing a stunning and sturdy Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The three-row G-Wagon is a well-rounded vehicle with a powerful engine that rivals the luxury wagon category. Davidson was first seen driving around in his black SUV while grabbing dinner with his then rumored girlfriend, Kaia Gerber, in 2019.
Engagement Ring For Ariana Grande ($93,000)
After a whirlwind romance in 2018, Pete Davidson quickly popped the question to Ariana Grande and asked her to marry him. The couple was not engaged for long, as their engagement broke off shortly after. In one of his priciest personal purchases, Davidson proposed to the songstress with a pear-shaped three-carat diamond ring. As mentioned by People, the comedian got in touch with celebrity jeweler Greg Yun in New York to find the perfect ring for Grande.
Rolex Submariner Date ($18,000)
When it comes to fashion, Pete Davidson wears what makes him comfortable. Whether it is a comfortable sweatshirt at a movie premiere or baggy floral jeans during his appearance on late-night TV. But the comedian ensures that his watch game is always on point as he is often spotted wearing expensive timepieces. During his appearance on The Tonight Show in 2018, he wore a silver Rolex Submariner Date, also seen during his cameos for opening monologues on SNL.
NYC Pebble Bar ($50,000)
Followed by his purchase of a ferry, Pete Davidson made another massive purchase when he put his money into a townhouse-turned-bar at a secret entrance by the Rockefeller Center. The intimate and residential bar is a regular for celebrities and high-profile personalities, and many investors, including Nicholas Braun, Jason Sudeikis, Justin Theroux, and Mark Ronson, have invested in the Pebble Bar, as reported by the NY Post.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust ($10,000)
Pete Davidson chose a mature and sophisticated timepiece while maintaining his bold energy when he opted to buy the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust. Showcasing a silver and gold bracelet, the Datejust has a diamond-lined bezel and an eye-popping cherry red dial that catches the eye. Davidson was first seen wearing the timepiece during the red carpet of his 2019 Hulu movie Big Time Adolescence.
Pete Davidson has hesitated to make big purchases in the early years of his career. Still, as the comedian has matured, he has invested in real estate and classic timepieces that will never go out of style. After his recent exit from Saturday Night Live, everyone is keen to see what he has in store for everyone.
