FLOYD MAYWEATHER: The Outrageous Ways The World's Highest-Paid Athlete Spends His Money

Aug 19, 2017, 12:02 IST

He has a single bank account with $123 million in it. He's obsessed with cash.

He got paid for his last fight against Canelo Alvarez in one $40 million check.

He travels with Ziploc bags of hundreds, and is known for his crazy shopping sprees.

He has two fleets of luxury cars (including a $290,000 Bentley). All his cars at his Miami house are white, and the cars at his Vegas house are black.

He only wears shoes once. He leaves them in hotel rooms for the staff when he's done.

He spends $6,500 per year on boxers. He throws them out after wearing them once.

He owns a G5 private jet, but doesn't let his full entourage ride on it.

His bodyguards travel on a separate jet because Floyd is afraid of having two much weight in the cabin.

He is known for making insane, seven-figure bets on sporting events.

There was even a rumor that he bet $5.9 million on the Miami Heat in the playoffs, which he eventually debunked.

His Instagram account is full of money pictures.

He spends millions on necklaces, and once had $7 million in jewelry stolen from his house.

He spreads the wealth. He bought his ex-fiancee Shantel Jackson this ginormous ring before their ugly break up.

He can afford all of this because of the eye-popping amount of money he earns from his fights.

Floyd earned $90 million in 2013. He's the highest-paid athlete in the world.

He'll earn at least $32 million for his fight against Marcos Maidana.

The money will keep pouring in. He's currently two fights into a six-fight, 30-month deal with Showtime that's rumored to pay him $300 million.

But remarkably, Floyd doesn't have a single endorsement deal.

He has an apparel company called The Money Team, but no deals with Nike, Adidas, or Reebok.

His entourage also calls itself "The Money Team."

For all of his wild spending habits, Floyd has a reputation for having a maniacal work ethic.

He'll often wake up at 3 a.m. (like Kobe Bryant) and go work out.

He's also considered one of the most tactically brilliant boxers ever. He is 45-0, and a heavy favorite to beat Maidana.

More Floyd being Floyd.
