Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the richest boxers in the world. Although the former five-division champion retired from professional boxing back in 2017 he is still making money off his exhibition bouts and other business projects. This has garnered him a net worth of $450 million. Therefore it isn’t surprising that ‘Money’ spends his wealth on lavish things like luxury cars, expensive jewelry, and designer clothing.
Moreover, he even revealed that he had a couple of private jets which is a lot by normal standards. However, multi-billionaire Warren Buffett has a jet collection that makes Mayweather’s collection look pretty small.

In a video, Mayweather revealed the time he met Buffett before his fights and had a talk about their private jets. He stated that he had two private jets that he used but was shocked after hearing how many jets Buffett owned. Mayweather then claimed that the billionaire owned over 500 jets which made the former champion’s collection look like peanuts when compared.
“So me and Warren Buffett is sitting down like this in a dressing room. One time right before one of my fights talking to him he was talking about his jets. I’m talking about my jets at the particular time, I think I had two jets, and they said this man he got, I think 540 jets he had like 500 or something jets so he showing out,” said Mayweather.
Buffett is currently the fifth richest man in the world and has a net worth of $108.6 billion, as per Forbes. However, he is known for his humble and down-to-earth lifestyle which makes this collection even more surprising. Although Mayweather might be aiming to add a few jets to his collection, he still has a long way to reach the number of jets Buffett owns.
