Floyd Mayweather Net Worth

What is Floyd Mayweather's net worth?

Floyd Mayweather is a world-renowned American boxing champion and promoter who has a net worth of $300 million. That makes him one of the richest boxers of all time. Floyd's total career earnings top $1.1 billion.

Floyd Mayweather is one of the most successful and polarizing figures in boxing history. Known for his unmatched defensive skill, tactical brilliance, and undefeated record, Mayweather compiled a perfect 50–0 professional career spanning more than two decades. He won world championships in five different weight classes—super featherweight, lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight, and light middleweight—and defeated a long list of top-tier opponents, including Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Márquez, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Canelo Álvarez, and Manny Pacquiao.

Born into a boxing family, Mayweather was a standout amateur, winning a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics before turning professional later that year. Early in his career, he developed a reputation for speed, accuracy, and elusive defense, earning the nickname "Pretty Boy." As he moved up in weight and drew larger audiences, he rebranded as "Money" Mayweather and became known for his flamboyant lifestyle, extravagant spending, and promotional savvy. He was a master of self-marketing, often generating huge pay-per-view sales through controversy, trash talk, and carefully timed matchups.

Mayweather's 2015 bout against Manny Pacquiao became the highest-grossing fight in boxing history, generating over $600 million. Two years later, he came out of retirement to fight UFC star Conor McGregor in a crossover boxing event that earned him another nine-figure payday.

In retirement, Mayweather has remained active through exhibition bouts and promotional work under Mayweather Promotions. Though criticized for avoiding risky fights and being overly cautious in the ring, he is widely respected for his ring IQ, discipline, and ability to control every aspect of his career. His legacy as an undefeated world champion and marketing genius is firmly cemented in boxing history.

Highest Paid Athletes Of All Time

Floyd Mayweather is one of the highest-paid athletes in history and one of just a select few to earn more than $1 billion over the course of his career. That achievement places him among an elite group of sports legends whose career earnings have reached 10-figure territory. What sets Floyd apart is that he earned the vast majority of his income inside the ring, with relatively little reliance on endorsements, unlike most others on the list who made the bulk of their fortunes through sponsorships and licensing.

Floyd earned over $550 million from just two fights:

• $250 million from his 2015 bout against Manny Pacquiao
• $300 million from his 2017 fight against Conor McGregor

In a now-infamous 2013 interview with an ESPN reporter, Floyd pulled out his phone and proudly showed a checking account balance of $123 million—just sitting there in cash.

At his peak, Mayweather consistently ranked as the highest-paid athlete in the world. Between June 2014 and June 2015, he earned a staggering $300 million. He matched that total again between June 2017 and June 2018, thanks to the McGregor fight. Even in retirement, Floyd typically earns $10 million per year from various endorsement deals and exhibition fights.

Over the years, the number of athletes joining the "$1 Billion Club" has grown. Here is a current list of the highest-paid athletes of all time based on career earnings:

1. Michael Jordan – $3–4 billion

   Basketball legend and business mogul. His fortune is driven largely by the Air Jordan brand and ownership stakes in the Charlotte Hornets (now sold) and other ventures.

2. Tiger Woods – $1.8 billion+

   Woods became a billionaire thanks to decades of golf prize money and an unmatched portfolio of endorsements, including Nike, Rolex, and Bridgestone.

3. Cristiano Ronaldo – $1.24 billion

   Global football icon with massive earnings from playing contracts and brand endorsements with Nike, Herbalife, and his CR7 business ventures.

4. LeBron James – $1.2 billion+

   NBA superstar and savvy investor with major endorsement deals, equity stakes in companies like Blaze Pizza, and a growing media empire through SpringHill Company.

5. Lionel Messi – $1.15 billion

   Argentinian football legend with record-setting salaries and endorsements from brands like Adidas and Pepsi, as well as equity in lifestyle ventures.

6. Roger Federer – $1.1 billion

   The highest-paid tennis player of all time, with minimal prize money compared to earnings from deals with Uniqlo, Rolex, Wilson, and various equity investments.

7. Floyd Mayweather – $1 billion+

   Boxing's biggest pay-per-view star, who earned nearly all of his wealth from fight purses. Notably, he made over $500 million from just two bouts, with little help from endorsements.

8. Arnold Palmer – $1.35 billion (inflation-adjusted)

   The golf legend built a licensing empire that included beverages, apparel, and golf course design.

9. Jack Nicklaus – $1.15 billion (inflation-adjusted)

   Another golf icon, Nicklaus made his fortune from course design, branding, and business ventures long after his playing prime.

10. Michael Schumacher – $1 billion

    The Formula One superstar had enormous earnings during his career through racing contracts and sponsorships with brands like Ferrari and Shell.

Early Life and Amateur Career

Floyd Mayweather was born on February 24, 1977, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., was also a professional boxer who most famously fought Sugar Ray Leonard. Floyd Jr.'s uncles, Jeff and Roger, are also former professional boxers. Floyd Sr. and Roger have, at various times, served as one of Floyd's trainers.

As a kid, Floyd's mother was addicted to drugs, and his father was somewhat absent. His father primarily spent time with a young Floyd when he was old enough to go to the boxing gym. When his father was sent to jail, Floyd moved in with his grandmother. During this time, Floyd devoted himself to boxing. He dropped out of high school and became an amateur.

Floyd won national Golden Gloves championships in 1993, 1994, and 1996. Also in 1996, he won a bronze medal at the Atlanta Olympics. His amateur record was 84 – 4.

Professional Career

Floyd's first professional fight occurred on October 11, 1996. He knocked out his opponent, Roberto Apodaca, in the second round.

During his career, Floyd would go on to win an unprecedented six boxing championships in five different weight classes: Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Junior Welterweight, Welterweight twice, and Super Welterweight. His professional boxing record as of this writing is an astonishing 50 wins and zero losses. Of the 50 wins, 27 were by knockout.

Career Earnings

Floyd Mayweather's career earnings are $1.1 billion. Below is a fight-by-fight breakdown of every payday Floyd earned during his professional fighting career:

He also earned around $2 million from his first 15 fights that preceded the 2005 match against Arturo Gatti. Floyd has earned around $25 million outside the ring, selling merchandise and from a handful of relatively small endorsement deals.

Notable Fights

On March 13, 2009, Mayweather was scheduled to face the fiercest opponent of his career, Manny Pacquiao. The bout was probably the most anticipated fight in a decade. At the time, pay-per-view revenues were expected to exceed $180 million. Of that $180 million, Floyd was to be guaranteed $25 million up front plus an additional $20-25 million on the backend. Unfortunately, Mayweather and Pacquiao could not reach an agreement, and the fight fizzled for many years. Floyd went on to defeat "Sugar" Shane Mosley on April 1st, 2010, and Victor Ortiz in 2011. On May 5th, 2012, Mayweather defeated Miguel Cotto.

On May 4th, 2013, Floyd earned an estimated $50 million ($32 million guaranteed) for beating Robert Guerrero. On September 14, 2013, Floyd earned $75 million ($41.5 million was guaranteed) when he fought Saul Alvarez. That set a record for the highest purse in boxing history.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao finally took place on May 2nd, 2015, in Las Vegas. It was expected to be the highest revenue-generating fight in boxing history. Floyd and Manny agreed to split all profits 60-40. Floyd earned $250 million from the fight. Pacquiao earned $150 million.

On August 26, 2017, Floyd Mayweather fought Conor McGregor in what was the highest-grossing pay-per-view boxing event in history. The event generated at least 5 million PPV purchases. When it was all said and done, the fight generated around $700 million in total revenue across all sources and left Mayweather with a paycheck of $300 million before taxes. As a Nevada resident, he did not pay any state income taxes on those earnings. He did pay around 40% of his earnings to the IRS. Actually, he paid 40% of his earnings plus $22 million in back taxes that he owed related to his 2015 income. When it's all said and done, his after-tax take was $160 million. When added to his previous net worth, Floyd ended the McGregor fight with a net worth of $560 million.

In June 2021, Floyd fought YouTuber Logan Paul in an exhibition match. Floyd was guaranteed $10 million + 50% of the Pay Per View profits. Approximately 1 million people purchased the PPV, generating $50 million in revenue. Therefore, Floyd earned a total of $35 million.

In November 2022, Floyd earned $25 million to face off against social media personality Deji Olatunji in an exhibition match that took place in Dubai.

Other Appearances

In 2007, Floyd was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. They finished in ninth place. In 2008, Floyd earned $20 million to appear at WWE's WrestleMania XXIV.

Real Estate

In May 2009, Floyd paid $9.5 million for a 13,000-square-foot mansion in Las Vegas. He listed this house for sale for the first time in March 2011 for $14.5 million. He lowered the price several times. It has not sold as of this writing. It is currently listed for $8.5 million.

In October 2018, Floyd paid $10 million for a 22,000-square-foot mansion set on 1.4 acres in a gated Las Vegas community. Here is a video of the home posted by Floyd on Instagram:

In September 2017, Floyd paid $25.5 million for a 15,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion. He also spent $500,000 on home furnishings for this property at the time of the close. This house has a candy shop, a 12-seat movie theater, and a 300-bottle wine room. Floyd listed this Beverly Hills mansion for sale in September 2024 for $48 million. Here is a video tour:

In August 2021, Floyd paid $18 million for a waterfront mansion on Miami's Palm Island. He sold this home in December 2024 for $22 million. Here is a video tour:

Car Collection

Floyd owns dozens of high-end cars. He once told an ESPN interviewer that he has $15 million worth of luxury cars sitting in his garage that have never been driven. Over the last two decades, Floyd has bought more than 100 cars from Towbin Motorcars in Las Vegas. He reportedly pays for his cars in cash. Some of his most notable car assets include a $5 million Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, a $3.5 million Bugatti Chiron, THREE $2 million Bugatti Veyrons, a Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse, a $1.4 million Pagani Huayra, and a limited edition LaFerrari Aperta, which is worth north of $1 million. This is just a sample of his incredible collection. Floyd owns many more Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, Mercedes, and more. At one point, all the cars he owned and kept at one mansion were white, and all the cars he kept at his other mansion were black.

In late 2025, a Las Vegas dealer sued Mayweather for allegedly failing to pay for a $1.2 million Mercedes-Maybach G-Wagon. While Floyd countersued for fraud, the dispute revealed that he had initially attempted to return several other luxury cars from the same deal. Despite these disputes, his collection still reportedly includes nearly 20 Rolls-Royce.

Private Jets

For years, the crown jewel of Floyd's assets was a $60 million Gulfstream G650 known as "Air Mayweather." However, FAA records and reports from late 2025 appeared to show that Floyd sold the G650. He currently travels in a secondary, more modest Gulfstream III (dubbed "Air Mayweather II"), which he bought in 2024.

Jewelry Collection

Floyd's jewelry remains a central pillar of his public image. He continues to own the world-famous "Billionaire" watch by Jacob & Co., an $18 million masterpiece featuring 239 emerald-cut diamonds. His collection also includes a $2 million Rainbow Tourbillon and dozens of high-end pieces from Richard Mille and Patek Philippe.

However, his jewelry acquisitions have become a source of legal friction. In 2024, a Miami jeweler sued Mayweather for allegedly failing to pay a $3.9 million bill for various watches.

Commercial Real Estate Investments

In the years following his retirement, Floyd Mayweather has aggressively rebranded himself as a commercial real estate mogul. He has frequently boasted of owning a "billion-dollar" portfolio, headlined by stakes in New York City skyscrapers and massive residential portfolios. However, these claims became the subject of a high-profile legal battle in 2025 after investigative reporting questioned the scale of his actual ownership.

The "62 Buildings" Claim

In October 2024, Mayweather announced a $402 million deal to purchase a portfolio of 62 affordable housing buildings in Upper Manhattan, famously stating on social media, "All the buildings belong to me, I don't have no partners." Following this, a 2025 Business Insider investigation alleged that New York City property records showed no evidence of a full sale or transfer to Mayweather. The report suggested that instead of outright ownership, Floyd may have purchased a minority stake with an option to increase his interest later. Furthermore, the NYC Housing Partnership reportedly stated they had not been notified of a change in ownership.

Mayweather responded in May 2025 by filing a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Business Insider. In his complaint, Mayweather alleges the reporting was a "campaign of harassment" and claims the reporter refused to review documentation that proves the deals were executed as described.

Skyscrapers and the SL Green Partnership

Mayweather has long claimed to be a partner in SL Green, New York's largest office landlord, and an investor in One Vanderbilt. While it is verified that Mayweather made an initial investment of roughly $5 million with the firm over a decade ago, Business Insider alleged in 2025 that his later, larger claims—such as a $100 million stake in a luxury high-rise portfolio (Go Partners)—were actually "nominal" sums that did not leave him with a permanent equity stake.

Mayweather's legal team disputes this, maintaining that his investments are sophisticated "passive income" vehicles and that the media has misinterpreted the structure of his private equity deals.

Financial Problems?

Over the years, Floyd has dodged allegations of financial problems. For example, in March 2017, the IRS hit Floyd with a demand for $22.2 million in back taxes related to his 2015 income. More specifically, the IRS filed a "Notice of Federal Tax Lien" naming the taxpayer "Floyd J Mayweather" as having an "Unpaid Balance of Assessment" of $22,238,255:

Interestingly, Floyd responded to the lien claiming that he didn't have enough liquid cash to cover the debt. A few months later, Floyd's lawyer filed paperwork assuring the IRS that their bill would be paid in full with interest and penalties directly from his Conor McGregor fight earnings. The IRS had demanded to be paid immediately, to which Floyd's legal team replied:

"Although the taxpayer has substantial assets, those assets are restricted and primarily illiquid. The taxpayer has a significant liquidity event scheduled in about 60 days from which he intends to pay the balance of the 2015 tax liability due and outstanding."

In February 2020, 50 Cent, Floyd's former friend and now bitter enemy, took to social media to claim that Floyd was broke and would soon need to step back into the ring to refill his coffers. These were unsubstantiated claims that Floyd was quick to refute on his social media. However, it must be said that Floyd's lifestyle costs an extraordinary amount of money to maintain. Between the houses, the cars, the jets, the entourage, and more, he likely burns through tens of millions of dollars each year at a time when he no longer has a consistent, significant income. He never wears a pair of shoes more than once and leaves behind all of his discards for fans, housekeepers, and hotel staff. At all times, he travels with a 20-person entourage that is made up of friends, family members, bodyguards, a barber (even though his head is shaved), and a massage therapist who coincidentally happens to be a gorgeous female. Thieves broke into his house once and made off with $7 million worth of jewelry….

In 2023, Floyd reportedly paid the IRS $6.6 million in back taxes and penalties.

And we haven't even talked about Floyd's gambling habits. It's impossible to know how much money Floyd has won or lost gambling on sports. He frequently shows off extremely large wagers taken on sporting events throughout the year.

Legal Problems

In 2002, Floyd was charged with two counts of domestic violence and one count of misdemeanor battery. He received a six-month suspended sentence and community service for this charge. In 2004, he was given a one-year suspended sentence after being convicted of two counts of misdemeanor battery. In 2005, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge after kicking a bouncer. He received a 90-day suspended sentence.

In 2011, Floyd was ordered to serve 90 days in county jail on battery charges. He also had to perform 100 hours of community service and attend a 12-month domestic violence program. He ended up serving 63 days in jail. While serving the sentence, Floyd petitioned to be released for medical reasons because he claimed the 800-calorie daily prison food menu was causing his muscles to waste away. He claimed his body needed 3,000-4,000 calories per day. The judge did not oblige. When Floyd was released, he was picked up by 50 Cent in a private jet with a suitcase filled with $1 million in cash.
