Floyd Mayweather is one of the well-known sports personalities. He is an American boxing professional who has made a name in the industry by out powering most of his opponents. By holding on to different boxing world titles, Mayweather has been able to amass numerous wealth with his net worth estimated to be around $560 million. This net worth makes Mayweather one of the richest sports personalities.
Apart from boxing, Mayweather also makes money from endorsements just like any other athlete. However, he is not that much into endorsements since his baseline for entry is too high for most brands. Despite this, some brands have gone on to pay huge amounts of money in order to get his services. This explains the other sources of his wealth apart from “inside the ring” with opponents such as Connor McGregor.
As one of the highest paid athletes in the world, Floyd Mayweather is never afraid to show off his luxurious lifestyle. Mayweather regularly shares photos of his cars, jets, mansions and stacks of cash on his Instagram account. His car collection is made up of the most expensive collections including $4.8 million Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita and $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron.
Despite being rich, Floyd Mayweather has repeatedly found himself on the wrong side of law. In most instances, he has failed to pay taxes and one time owed $30 million in taxes. Apart from unpaid taxes, Mayweather has also been charged for harassment and domestic violence against his former girlfriend. He was thus sentenced for 90 days in jail after being found guilty.
Floyd Mayweather is a good example of athletes who are using their talent to make it in the industry. Many aspiring boxers are now emulating Mayweather since he has already achieved what boxers only dream off. However, to achieve this, you must be ready to work extra hard.
