Toronto Raptors Superfan Nav Bhatia has garnered the world's attention from the sidelines of
the Toronto Raptors game and unlike the 6ix God Drake it's been for all the right reasons.
Nav Bhatia admitted that he spends more than a whopping $300K a year on his sideline tickets
which include his court side seats next to the Toronto Raptors family and friends but
also for thousands of underprivileged youth, mostly immigrants.
He also spends around $200 dollars a year on advertising for his dealerships, some of
these costs covered by Hyundai.
For himself, Nav likes to deck himself out in the finest of Raptors gear.
Of course he's got every colour of Jersey but his rep his own moniker of Super Fan.
He even coped himself a pair of Nike & Drake “Raptors” Jordans 4 worth $220 but I doubt
he had to pay for those.
Nav has said himself: “I don’t drink.
I don’t smoke.
I don’t womanize, but I Raptorize…
I only Raptorize.”
But outside of basketball has built a pretty luxury lifestyle for himself.
He lives in a multi-million dollar Mississauga mansion and owns one Hyundai car dealership
in the area and another closer to the airport.
He also owns Canada’s first brick-and-mortar location for the brand’s premium Genesis
marque, located in Mississauga’s Square One shopping centre.
In total, he now oversees 180 staff members across the three locations.
When it comes to cars one most imagine he has his pick of the litter when it comes to
Hyundai's but when he want's to up his game he choses to ride in their new luxury brand
known as Genesis G90 in both white and black.
These bad boys start off at just $84K which isn't bad for something that looks like a
Bentley.
Nav's become a celebrity in his own right possing for pictures with celebrities including
Barack Obama, Ice Cube, Superwoman & more.
& these new friends have gifted him a taste of the good life with him now having the ability
to travel to away games via private jets.
With the Toronto Raptors likely securing the bag as NBA Champions for 2019 there is truly
no one more excited than Toronto Super Fan, Nav Bhatia.
This man hasn't missed a single home game since the first tip off in November of 1995
and back then the Toronto Raptors were a far stretch from the super stars they are today.
In fact, they were the worst team in their division three season in a row.
Despite a couple decades of ups and downs Nav continued to show his support for the
Raps while working on his own Canadian dream!
After being turned down for over 300 jobs he started his career as a car salesman in
Rexdale.
That was back in the mid 80's.
Today he's not only the owner of two locations which has earned him an estimated net worth
of $50 Million dollars according to Celebrity Net Worth.com.
Good for him, it looks like he's been able to share his fortune with not only the less
fortunate but he also likely chipped in on getting his daughter her own mansion she showed
off on her YouTube Channel Tia Bhatia.
What's going on guys?
It's your boy Michael McCrudden walking you through the financial come up of Nav Bhatia
aka Toronto Super Fan, here for you on The Rich Life where we take a look at his financial
come up and what he spends his fortune on.
If you haven't checked out our Before They Were Famous on The Raptors you must not be
from this city.
It's an EPIC video and gives you the full breakdown of the team we will leave a link
down below.
Aright, let's get into this The Rich Life video.
As we do in these videos I'm gonna hit you guys with a question I will answer a little
later in this video...
How much will Nav's courtside seats cost for Game 5 in the finals.
Place your guesses down below and I'll see you after the intro.
Nav Bhatia was born on July 9th, 1951 in India.
He had a pretty interesting come up story before arriving in Canada in 1984.
He lived for sometime in California working in theatres and restaurants before returning
to India where he planned to take over his fathers business but it wasn't safe for him
there, I've actually gone into pretty deep detail about Nav's early life and business
in his Before They Were Famous so let's roll a clip from that.
Nav's climb to the top didn't happen overnight and he credits his success to passion, perseverance
and being approachable to all.
If you want some words of wisdom from the multi millionaire well he's had this to say:
Nav's got a few other streams of revenue.
He Sells Merchandise of Himself to Raise Money for His Non-Profit Foundation which builds
basketball courts in Canada and around the world.
He is also the only non-Christian global ambassador for World Vision and has helped raise as much
as $65,000 to build washrooms for girls in 20 schools in northern India.
He also does the odd social media sponsored plug and he's not a bad actor.
Aright, so now we know where his fortune is coming from let's talk about what he spends
it on.
Nav's love for the Raptors doesn't come cheap.
The first game he attended he bought two tickets, one for him and one for his wife which could
of cost as little as $5 dollars a piece.
Today his court side season tickets would cost upwards of $50,000 dollars each.
Nav's wife doesn't come to the games anymore but he will usually bring a friend.
He's also spends a small fortune in the hundreds of thousands on tickets for underprivileged
youths mostly from brown, immigrant families so they can experience the game for themselves.
Speaking about this he stated: “I went to the Raptors and bought 3,000
tickets and brought kids from a cross-section of the community, I wanted all kinds of kids
to sit together and integrate with each other “
In another interview he stated: “I tell them if I can do it, you guys can
do it,” he said.
“I want them to be inspired from that, that anybody can do it.
Canada is full of opportunity.
I came from nothing, I was given opportunity, and I utilized it.
And I believe anybody can.”
Nav Bhatia is likely getting his Raptors gear custom made these days by the team but them
Jersey's don't come cheap.
In the first season the average jersey would of set you back $50.
Today, these Jerseys cost on the low end $150 but can run some people up to $400 or $500
bucks.
Nav's also been spotted in some designer Raptor threads, I couldn't find a price tag for this
one but it's pretty flashy.
Although Nav living a very public life he likes to keep his private life private.
We know he lives in a Mississauga mansion but the address is kept a secret.
The most we know is from his daughter Tia's video titled The Truth about my family she
spoke about her dad needing surgery.
If you wanna see more well you are in luck cause
Tia moved into her own masnion which she did give a tour of her house earlier this year.
I know where that house is, I ain't gonna dox her.
The description to that videos sais that Tia has since sold the house.
Nav of course is a man of loyalty and when it comes to cars the only brand he's repping
has to be Hyandui.
You won't see him repping a Tiburon or an Accent he chooses their new luxury brand Genesis.
There is a G70 which starts at around $42K, the G80 at $58 and the G90 at $84.
Nav has been spotted in both white and black models with his license plate reading of course
– Superfan.
For air travel Nav has been lucky enough to make some friends in very high places.
When the Raptors make the playoffs he makes it a must to attend the away games and these
flying private.
Nav doesn't forget to relish these moments posting to Instagram:
Moments like this I'm humbled and blessed to have the opportunity to attend another
#nbaallstarweekend and have incredible people around I can call family.
The Fitzgeralds, Niko and family, Johnny Fay, of course my daughter Tia and my manager Rinku.
Damn, he be hanging with The Fitzgeralds.
That name sounds like it's oozes money.
When asked what Nav's predictions were when the Raps were first squaring off against Golden
State Nav predicted that they would win in game 6 but he hoped in game 5 so he could
save a bit of money.
No joke, court side tickets like his have been going for upwards of $120K & that's your
answer to the question from off the top.
Aright guys and girls.
I'm wrapping up this video here on The Rich Life.
My name is Michael McCrudden, if your watching this video in Toronto and not following me
on the gram I don't know what's wrong with ya'll.
