Charles Leclerc is a multi-millionaire, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by the way he went into full rescue mode when he lost his AirPods this week … ’cause he got on the ground, used some tweezers and brought them back to safety — all while ironically wearing a $200k watch!!!
The Ferrari superstar documented the whole mishap on his Instagram page … showing him sprawled out on the floor at the Zurich International Airport in Switzerland.
The whole thing looked like a game of Operation … as the 25-year-old patiently tried to get both his earbud AND the case out of the tiniest crack in the floor — and thankfully, it was a success!!
What’s hilarious about it all — Leclerc most certainly has the money … so he could have just as easily gotten a new pair at a nearby gift shop.
Throughout the recovery, Charles was also wearing a super-expensive, rare Richard Mille RM 72-01 watch on his left wrist … which comes with a $185k price tag, but good luck getting your hands on one of them at that price — or at all.
Of course, Leclerc has a sponsorship with Richard Mille … so he’s got the hook-up.
Perhaps he needs an Apple brand deal next!!
Admittedly, the whole thing may have just been an attempt to go viral … as he posted about his next piano instrumental right after the clip.
