Lisa McCaffrey, the mother of San Francisco 49ers running back Christian, wasn’t sure where she would be sitting to watch her son at the Super Bowl.
Even though McCaffrey’s salary is $11.8 million this season, and his fiancée Olivia Culpo’s estimated net worth is between $7 million and $10 million, Mama McCaffrey said that even they don’t have much time for the big game. He said he couldn’t afford a suite for those who wanted to stay.
“We considered a suite, but no one can afford it,” Lisa said. “They’re not even Christians, they’re moneybags over there, Olivia’s moneybags,” she said on Culpo’s podcast. “your mother.”

“So we’re not in the suite, I’ll tell you right now,” Lisa said.
Not so fast, Lisa.
Culpo said on Instagram that he did buy the suit at Allegiant Stadium for the game.
Culpo shared his concerns about prices on his Instagram Story, which he called “fake news.”
“Happy birthday, Lisa. I bought you a suite.” Culpo wrote.

The McCaffreys have spent most of the season in their suites, including the playoffs. But Super Bowl suites will cost seven figures.
This isn’t the first time Lisa has taken an intense interest in the Super Bowl. Her husband Ed won three Super Bowls, one with the Niners and two with the Denver Broncos.
If the young Christian wins, it would be the first time a father-son duo has won a title in the same franchise.

The Niners will face the Kansas City Chiefs on February 11th in a rematch of the big game from four years ago. The Chiefs rallied by 10 points in the fourth quarter to win 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV.
