This holiday season, Wall Street traders are dreaming big, or at least expensive. The ultimate trophy: a Rolex Daytona, priced modestly between $16,000 and an eye-watering $141,150, because why just tell time when you can also signal your bonus? Cartier Santos watches also made the cut, flexing between $4,800 and $77,000. Jeremy Balrup of Bloomberg contributes gym-bag envy with the sleek $370 P. Johnson travel toteādefinitely to avoid that dreaded 'duffel bag dude' stigma. Fashionistas arenāt left out, eyeing $4,000 Dunhill jackets with gold buttons and Brunello Cucinelliās $17,000+ shearling coats. For fitness, Garmin Venu4ās $550 smartwatch tracks everything from stress to ovulation, because Wall Street needs data on when youāre emotionally and biologically vulnerable. Experiential gifts like Swiss skiing and Southeast Asia escapes sneak in for those 'who have everything.' Oh, and no celebration is complete without a vintage Porsche or Ferrari F80, just casually starting at $130K. Because if you canāt expect a bonus, expect the bling or booze to mask the pain.
