Is Mayweather's new private jet a slap in the face to his haters or a well-deserved reward?

The adage “money can’t buy you happiness” doesn’t apply to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. You can’t put a ceiling on his spending habits. His staggering collection of cars, jewelry, and clothes, can put a lot of rich men to shame. One of the highest-paid athlete’s most prized possession is his luxurious $60 million private jet. Now, another luxury jet has been added to the collection. “I just copped/ bought another toy, but I play with this one in the sky,” Mayweather shared on his Instagram Story.

The Air Mayweather 2 Gulfstream has 12 leather seats with “golden cup holders, golden wash basin and gold accents,” a source close to the Mayweather team once revealed. Brandishing his “new toy”, he also had a message for the haters: “I’m going to continue to set the bar high while they continue to pray on my downfall.” 

Although the price of his second jet has not yet been revealed, it wouldn’t make a dent in the billionaire boxer’s financial empire. His career earnings and his smart business investments ensure that the money keeps rolling in. He concluded the Instagram post by aptly captioning it, “2 planes give them 2 more small reasons to hate!”

Mayweather posted photos on Instagram, showing off his new purchase. ‘Money’s’ customized private jet has ‘TMT’ written in gold letters close to the entry door of the plane as well as the tail wing, and ‘Mayweather’ engraved in gold letters across the body of the jet. However, the interiors of the airplane have not been revealed yet.

Reportedly, according to Luxury Topics, the private plane is outfitted with a fully equipped kitchen with golden accents and a bathroom with a golden sink. Knowing Mayweather’s tendency to indulge in excesses, you can almost guarantee that he would be making further enhancements to make his travel more comfortable and luxurious.

Mayweather’s first private jet Air Mayweather, a $50 million Gulfstream G650 jet bought in 2014, is used by Mayweather for long-distance travel to destinations such as Monte Carlo, Hong Kong, Bali, Fiji, and Tokyo. Last year, he used his private jet for a noble cause.

Air Mayweather to Israel

When the Israel-Palestine conflict reached its boiling point following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack, Floyd Mayweather decided to send supplies which included food, bullet-proof vests, and many other things to Israeli Defense Force soldiers via his private jet. He also penned a long note, expressing sympathy towards Israel following the terrorist attack, and also acknowledged that Hamas was not a legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.

“I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas does not represent the people of Palestine but is a terrorist group that is attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any humans who were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes. This is not a time for politics. This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Human Kind!” Mayweather wrote in an Instagram post.
