The most surprising facts from that are that a wristwatch can cost 500k, and that someone would actually wear a 500k wristwatch on a night out.
But when you are paid millions to wear said watch, its not so bad 
If you're famous enough then you're never going to pay for clothes, accessories or dinner. Or cars...
It's actually very difficult for top F1 drivers to spend money. Gotta sling £20m on a Monaco pad of course, but having done so they immediately pay less tax and make more money. They can splurge 100m on a super yacht but then it's leased out when they're not using it and with value added because it's an F1 stars yacht. Or plane.
But it's not all a free lunch - they do still have to go to work, doing the thing they dreamed of doing as a child. FFS.

But then again, if it is all true*, it's a bit of a risk.
Chasing down three young Africans with little to lose, to recover a watch that isn't yours, isn't worth the headline value and which is insured... hmmm.
- Richard Mille seem to be the big winners here. Brand Ambassador in heroic bandit-quelling act to recover one of their watches. I can hear from here the corks popping in the RM marketing department.

Richard Mille rep. Hey, you three poor North African migrants! Fancy going to jail with the subsequent risk of being deported, so that we can promote our new watch?
NAM: Sure!
