This ‘Bachelorette’ Contestant Spent an Outrageous Amount of Money on Clothes for the Show

The new season of The Bachelorette is nearly upon us, and we’ve already got some juicy details on the men who will be vying for JoJo Fletcher’s affection. In past seasons, we’ve seen the guys go to some pretty extreme lengths to impress the Bachelorette, but did you know that they’re also willing to break the bank to do so? One of this season’s contestants has revealed that he spent not hundreds but thousands of dollars in the hopes of wowing JoJo. So, can you guess which of these 26 men spent that much money?


While filming a video for Glamour magazine, the guys gave viewers an inside look into their suitcase essentials—and Chad Johnson revealed he didn’t hesitate to spend thousands of dollars. The 28-year-old luxury real estate agent admitted that he had an entire suitcase filled to capacity with protein, hoping that his toned physique would grab JoJo’s attention.  


“I figured, I worked really hard to get in shape for the show, I might as while try to keep it while I’m here.” Just look at the size of those biceps; it would be a shame if he couldn’t maintain that body because he was lacking sufficient protein. Sounds like a reasonable explanation, right? Yeah, we thought that, too—until he mentioned how much he splurged on brand new attire.

“I probably overdid things a little bit,” Chad admitted. “I mean, I’ve spent like seven grand on clothes just for this.” Wait, what?!? Chad spent $7,000 on new clothes JUST for The Bachelorette? We think that’s a bit excessive, but who knows, maybe there’s a method to Chad’s madness. Here’s hoping he sticks around long enough to wear all those fancy new duds.
