Shantel Jackson Net Worth

What is Shantel Jackson's Net Worth?

Shantel Jackson is an American entrepreneur, inventor, model, and reality television personality who has a net worth of $3 million. She first became widely known through her relationship with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, whom she dated for several years and became engaged to before their contentious breakup. Jackson later had a seven-year relationship with rapper Nelly, appearing alongside him on the BET reality series "Nellyville" and subsequently starring on E!'s "The Platinum Life."

Jackson has also built a career independent of her famous relationships. She created Shoe Gummi, a patented footwear product designed to make high heels more comfortable by adding cushioning and stability to the outsole. Jackson spent years developing and patenting the concept before bringing it to market, eventually receiving multiple U.S. and international patents. She has expanded Shoe Gummi beyond its original high-heel products and moved into media as the creator and executive producer of the business-focused online series "Let's Get Down to Business."

Early Life

Shantel Jackson was born in Miami, Florida, and grew up as one of five children. She attended a technical arts high school, where she studied entertainment technology and learned about both performing and behind-the-scenes production.

Jackson later studied acting and psychology in college. She pursued modeling, acting, and fashion work while developing an interest in creating her own products and businesses.

Floyd Mayweather Relationship

Jackson became nationally known through her lengthy relationship with Floyd Mayweather. The couple dated for several years and became engaged, with Jackson frequently appearing alongside Mayweather during one of the most lucrative periods of his boxing career.

Their relationship ended acrimoniously. In 2014, Jackson filed a civil lawsuit against Mayweather alleging assault, battery, defamation, invasion of privacy, and other claims. Portions of the case continued through years of litigation, including proceedings before a California appeals court.

The highly public breakup significantly raised Jackson's profile, but she increasingly pursued television and business projects of her own afterward.

Nelly and Reality Television

Jackson began dating Nelly in 2014. Their relationship became part of the rapper's BET reality series "Nellyville," which followed Nelly's family, career, and personal life.

In 2017, Jackson joined the cast of E!'s "The Platinum Life." The reality series focused on women connected to prominent musicians while emphasizing their own careers, businesses, and relationships. Jackson's storyline included her relationship with Nelly as well as her efforts to bring Shoe Gummi to market.

Jackson and Nelly ultimately separated in 2021 after approximately seven years together. Jackson later said that the relationship did not end on bad terms.

Shoe Gummi

Jackson conceived the idea behind Shoe Gummi after experiencing the discomfort associated with wearing high heels for extended periods. Instead of creating another insert for the inside of a shoe, she developed a cushioning pad designed to attach to the outside sole.

Jackson began working on the invention years before it became commercially available. Her shoe-sole adjustment pad received a U.S. utility patent in 2017, and she subsequently obtained additional design patents covering variations of the product.

Shoe Gummi developed into Jackson's principal entrepreneurial venture. The company expanded its product line to address other types of footwear discomfort and secured additional intellectual property in the United States and overseas.

In 2026, Jackson announced a broader expansion of Shoe Gummi into a multi-category foot-comfort business. She also launched "Let's Get Down to Business," an online series centered on entrepreneurs and the realities of building businesses, serving as the show's creator and executive producer.
