Kevin O’Leary made a bold statement at the 2026 Actor Awards by wearing a $20 million Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan trading card around his neck.
The Shark Tank investor stepped onto the red carpet with the rare Dual Logoman autograph card mounted on a custom Tiffany white gold and diamond chain.
The one-of-a-kind collectible quickly became one of the evening’s standout talking points.
O’Leary unveils rare Dual Logoman centerpiece
The necklace centers on a 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autograph card signed by Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.
The display is set in 2.2 pounds of Tiffany white gold and framed by 100 carats of Tiffany diamonds. On the red carpet, Kevin O’Leary explained the value of the card.
“We brought Kobe back to L.A. That’s a one of one dual logo, man, signed with Jordan as well. It’s a $20 million card in 2.2 pounds of Tiffany white gold and 100 carats of Tiffany diamonds. I mean, we’re rockin’ it tonight, baby, that’s it.”
“I brought this back because I want to bring Kobe back to LA on such a big night in the city. The weight of this thing is, like, two pounds of solid gold and diamonds. But it’s all for Kobe.”
O’Leary acquired the card in August 2025 for $12.932 million with partners Matt Allen and Paul Warshaw.
Collectible positioned as long-term asset
Kevin O’Leary also emphasized that the piece represents more than a showpiece accessory and explained the value of the collectibles market.
“It’s going to be a part of an index that I’m going to continue to grow along with my partners. We look at it no different than our bitcoin holdings, our ethereum holdings, our gold holdings…”
“It’s no different than collectible watches, in some way. It’s so rare that the prices continue to appreciate, and they seem to defy recessions.”
The Jordan and Bryant Dual Logoman card now serves as both a tribute to two NBA icons and a cornerstone of O’Leary’s alternative investment strategy.
