Several other people supported Gyan on his big day by paying huge sums during the auction of the first 50 copies of the former Ghana striker’s autobiography.
Meanwhile, Gyan’s GHc150,000 watch has generated talks on social media, with some Ghanaians sharing the views on the veteran striker’s lavish spending.
Phamos Amos said: “Great collaboration for the local industry. Caveman watches to the world. Well done baby jet.”
On Twitter, Khojo Hazard wrote: “I know I’m poor so if I say something people would rubbish me but I would still say it. I won’t spend over 1000 cedis on just a watch that I can see the time or clock on my phone and for different countries at once or I can even get a designer 1 for 50gh at the Madina market.”
Bismark Agbeve added: “Hmmmmmm, my concern with this wealthy people sometimes is, they many at times buy very very expensive items or properties, while there many who suffering that are finding it difficult to make it. Such money can be used to benefit a lot, I know some are helping, but problems still.”
Gyan revealed during the launch of his autobiography that all proceeds will be used for charity.
