Buying tickets to the Super Bowl is not so different from taking out a mortgage, with regular tickets costing nearly $10,000. And those swanky suites? Forget it. They cost millions, and Lisa McCaffrey knows it, having attempted to score one. In an episode of the “Your Mom” podcast (via Page Six), she lamented how ridiculously costly they were, that not even her millionaire son, Christian McCaffrey, and his fiancee, Olivia Culpo, could justify getting one. “We looked into a suite, and none of us can afford it,” she said. “Not even Christian, moneybags over there. Nor moneybags Olivia.”
Her comments were slammed by fans, with some accusing her of “poor shaming” her son, and her future daughter-in-law, Olivia, a famous personality and winner of Miss Universe 2012. “It sure sounded like a gross comment to make publicly even if it was a joke,” one fan critiqued, while another tweeted, “Calling her son and his fiancee moneybags is so cringy.”
Culpo pulled through anyway, calling the whole thing “fake news” when Lisa’s remarks made headlines. “Happy birthday Lisa I bought you a suite,” she wrote on Instagram (via People). Then again, Christian put his foot down and refused to let his future wife spend all that money for a few hours — even if it was meant for his mom. “She [Olivia] tried to [get Lisa a suite] but I will not let anybody pay to watch me play,” he told Extra. “I had to nix that.”
