At that time, anticipated pay-per-view revenues were projected to surpass $180 million. Out of this amount, Floyd was set to receive a guaranteed $25 million upfront, along with an additional $20-25 million from backend earnings. Regrettably, Mayweather and Pacquiao were unable to finalize an agreement, resulting in the fight being postponed for several years. Floyd subsequently triumphed over “Sugar” Shane Mosley on April 1st, 2010, and went on to defeat Victor Ortiz in 2011. On May 5th, 2012, Mayweather emerged victorious against Miguel Cotto.

Floyd listed this Beverly Hills mansion for sale in September 2024 with an asking price of $48 million.

He possesses an apartment

In New York City, the Mayweather Boxing Club in Vegas, and a strip club in Vegas known as Girl Collection. In August 2021, Floyd acquired a waterfront mansion on Miami’s Palm Island for $18 million.

Car Collection

Dozens of high-end cars are owned by Floyd. In an interview with ESPN, he stated that there are luxury cars worth $15 million parked in his garage that have never been driven. Over the past twenty years, he has purchased more than 100 vehicles from Towbin Motorcars in Las Vegas, allegedly paying in cash. A few of his remarkable car assets include a $5 million Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, a $3.5 million Bugatti Chiron, three $2 million Bugatti Veyrons, a Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse, a $1.4 million Pagani Huayra, and a limited edition LaFerrari Aperta valued at over $1 million. This merely scratches the surface of his astounding car collection. Additionally, he possesses many other Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Mercedes, and more.

It is reported that Floyd has 16 Rolls Royces.

At one time, all the vehicles he owned and stored at a single mansion were white, while all the cars at his other mansion were black.

Private Jets

Floyd owns a $60 million Gulfstream G650, affectionately named “Air Mayweather.” He purchased the jet as a birthday gift to himself for his 41st birthday in 2018. Rumor has it he flew to Iceland just to capture an Instagram photo on a dare. His name is prominently displayed on the side of the plane, with “50 – o” (his boxing record) written on the wing tips.

In fact, Floyd has two private jets. The second is a Gulfstream III, valued at $30 million. When traveling, he typically flies in the G650 with his closest associates, while “Air Mayweather II” follows along with his entourage.

In January 2015, Floyd shared a photo showcasing himself in front of his primary jet alongside seven cars, totaling a phenomenal worth of $60 million in “toys.”

Jewelry Collection

Floyd has never hesitated to flaunt his impressive jewelry collection. With over 40 extremely luxurious watches in his possession, he has stated that he brings 30 watches along on vacation and is continually adorned with at least $3 million in jewelry.

In 2015, an extraordinary watch crafted by Jacob the Jeweler cost Floyd a staggering $18 million. This distinct piece features 239 emerald-cut baguette diamonds, each reaching up to three carats. The watch is aptly named “The Billionaire.”

Commercial Real Estate Investments

Floyd made a significant investment in 2014, becoming a partner in the real estate development firm SL Green. The firm’s CEO, Marc Holliday, disclosed Floyd’s investment in December of that year. As of now, Floyd holds a minority stake in nine skyscrapers across the United States, including One Vanderbilt, which is the tallest commercial building in the country.

Financial Problems?

Throughout the years, Floyd has faced various allegations concerning his financial status. For instance, in March 2017, the IRS issued a demand for $22.2 million in back taxes linked to his income from 2015. To be exact, the IRS claimed he owed $22,238,255. To complicate matters, Floyd asserted that he lacked sufficient liquid cash to settle the debt. A few months later, Floyd’s attorney filed documentation assuring the IRS that the outstanding bill would be fully paid, including interest and penalties, using his earnings from the Conor McGregor fight. The IRS had requested immediate payment, prompting Floyd’s legal team to respond:

“Although the taxpayer has substantial assets, those assets are restricted and primarily illiquid. The taxpayer has a significant liquidity event scheduled in about 60 days from which he intends to pay the balance of the 2015 tax liability due and outstanding.”

In February 2020, 50 Cent, Floyd’s formerA former friend who has now turned into a bitter enemy took to social media with claims that Floyd was financially struggling and would soon have to return to the boxing ring to refill his bank accounts. These allegations were unsubstantiated, and Floyd was quick to refute them via his own social media channels. However, it is important to note that maintaining Floyd’s extravagant lifestyle requires an immense amount of money. With expenses like multiple houses, luxury cars, private jets, an entourage, and more, he likely spends tens of millions of dollars annually, especially at a period when he no longer has a steady stream of significant income. Notably, Floyd never wears a pair of shoes more than once and often leaves his discards for fans, hotel staff, and housekeepers. He is constantly accompanied by a 20-person entourage, which includes friends, family, bodyguards, a barber (despite his shaved head), and a stunning female massage therapist. Once, thieves even broke into his home and stole jewelry valued at $7 million.

And before we touch on Floyd’s gambling habits, it’s worth mentioning that the extent of his wins or losses in sports gambling remains unclear. Throughout the year, he regularly showcases his massive bets on sporting events.

Other Controversies

In 2002, Floyd faced charges of two counts of domestic violence and one count of misdemeanor battery, resulting in a six-month suspended sentence and community service. A year later, in 2004, he received a one-year suspended sentence after being convicted of two misdemeanor battery charges. In 2005, Floyd pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge after an incident involving a bouncer, earning himself a 90-day suspended sentence. By 2011, he was sentenced to 90 days in county jail on battery charges, in addition to 100 hours of community service and a 12-month domestic violence program. Ultimately, he served 63 days in jail. During his incarceration, Floyd petitioned for release on medical grounds, arguing that the prison’s 800-calorie daily meal plan was detrimental to his physique, which he claimed required 3000-4000 calories daily. The judge did not grant his request. Upon his release, Floyd was greeted by 50 Cent, who picked him up in a private jet, carrying a suitcase filled with $1 million in cash.

Summary

Floyd Mayweather possesses a net worth of $450 million. At present, he has earned over $1.1 billion throughout his career, including significant amounts like $250 million from the May 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao and $300 million from the August 2017 match with Conor McGregor.
