"I got five donkeys": When $45M-worth Deion Sanders subtly roasted his kids Deion Jr., Shedeur, Shelomi and more

Deion Sanders was out with his youngest daughter, Shelomi Sanders, in April 2023 for a fun outing. This happened right after the coach's first spring game at Colorado. The duo visited a livestock farm, where they, along with many other visitors, were captivated by various animals.

With Coach Prime holding the camera, Shelomi was seen admiring a group of piglets in a pen. She took a picture of them with her phone, playfully expressing her desire to take one home, a decision that was laughable to her father.

“Take it home and see the responsibility,” Deion Sanders told Shelomi jokingly.

Shelomi playfully suggested the idea of giving it away or leaving it at her father's house. However, Coach Prime, whose net worth is estimated at $45 million by Celebrity Net Worth, humorously reminded his five kids that he already has enough responsibilities.

“I got five donkeys,” Coach Prime said referring to his kids.

Deion Sanders' ranking of his kids

Deion Sanders has fostered a unique family dynamic by ranking his children based on their achievements in sports and other endeavors, highlighting performance as a key measure of recognition. He posts this ranking on social media at intervals.

Although the ranking might appear unconventional, Sanders has consistently emphasized that he’s merely being honest about how he views his children’s achievements.

“So it’s tough, my kids’ rankings are tough,” Deion Sanders said in September 2023. "It’s a serious run right now, it really is, it’s a serious run right now. I’m the only one that’s honest about ranking my kids. You guys act like you all love them the same and you don’t. I don’t know why y’all act like that.”

In an exclusive interview with Sports Illustrated in November 2023, the Colorado coach unveiled an updated ranking of his kids. Deion Jr. was at the top, followed by Shelomi and Shilo. Shedeur and Deiondra occupied the final two spots in the coach's ranking.

This list hasn't seen much change in 2024, and Coach Prime has not released a new full ranking. However, each of his kids has been elevated to the top spot on their birthdays, with Shilo receiving this honor first in February.

As Shedeur and Shilo prepare to transition to the NFL in 2025, Coach Prime might face even more challenges in making his list. Nonetheless, that will likely not stop him from releasing his power ranking when the time comes.
