There’s a reason why Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned the nickname ‘The Money.’ Boxing’s first billionaire is responsible for bringing forth over 24 million pay-per-view subscriptions during his two-decade-long career. Not to miss the emoluments touching $1.67 billion. Post-retirement, in 2018, Forbes ranked him the world’s highest-earning sports personality. Even the recent exhibition events have proved very lucrative ventures for the forty-five-year-old orthodox boxer. Hence it may not sound surprising if Mayweather Jr. uses sumptuous portions of those hard-earned bills on luxuries.

From owning not one but two Gulfstreams to expensive cars and jewelry, Mayweather Jr. has a taste for the finest and the best. At times, he makes it a point to let in the fans and followers whenever he’s on a shopping expedition.
