The Matrix and John Wick star, and ‘internet boyfriend’, said to be worth US$380 million, made headlines last year when some of his stolen watches were recovered in Chile

Keanu Reeves – also known as the internet’s boyfriend – is a guy whose reputation precedes itself, thanks to his long-standing record of being down-to-earth, kind and generous, especially when it comes to fans and crew members.
As the star of several big-budget action films, from hits including Point Break and Speed in the 1990s that launched his career, to the celebrated Matrix trilogy and more recently the John Wick franchise, the Canadian actor has amassed a personal fortune of about US$380 million. But despite his wealth he keeps a fairly low profile, with no social media presence.
Last month, however, we had a rare glimpse into Reeves’ world, and the extravagant things he buys, when news broke that several of his luxury watches, stolen during a burglary in December 2023, had been recovered in an unexpected location: Chile.

Among the recovered items was a personalised Rolex Submariner, along with a few other timepieces police chose not to disclose. Naturally, this sparked some serious horological curiosity, prompting us to take a closer look at the luxury watches Keanu Reeves has been known to wear.

1. Rolex Submariner

This classic Rolex model landed Reeves in headlines in 2023, when he gave the four-member stunt team of John Wick: Chapter 4 matching Submariners, engraved with a personal message of thanks from the actor.

He also had one customised for himself, as part of what’s called the “John Wick Five” stunt team – and that piece was among the items stolen. The distinctive engraving made it easy to identify when it resurfaced south of the equator, linking it to Reeves and adding an unusual twist to the story.

Stainless steel with a black dial and bezel, this understated yet chic Submariner sells for about US$9,000. Of course, the personalised message from one of the world’s most beloved action stars adds untold value to an already special watch.
