Floyd Mayweather is no stranger to hard work. You simply cannot reach the pinnacle of any sport without dedicating your entire life to being the best in the world.

Mayweather owns so much luxury clothing and accessories that tallying up the value of them all would be close to impossible. His shopping patterns tend to be erratic and he will splurge on items at any given time.

One example is the 400k he spent at Hermes in one day when shopping in paris. His pickups? 5 crocodile bags including four travel bags and andorange Birkin Bag. Mayweather posted his purchase on his Instagram account with the caption: “Over $400,000 spent in Hermes cause I stay in my lane”.

Enough Said.

10. $750,000 Contract Buyout

Kind of strange when you think about it. But one of the biggest purchases Mayweather has ever made was in 2006, when he decided to exercise a provision in his contract that gave him the opportunity to become a free agent. He payed a cool 750k to Toprank Promotions to buy out the remainder of his contract and immediately formed his own company.

This bold move is what laid the foundation for him to become one of the highest paid athletes of all time. By controlling his own destiny, he made sure that no promoters would be able to stick their hands in his pockets and instead, kept all profits from his fights to himself.

9. 7-Figure Sweet Sixteen for his Daughter

We’ve all heard stories of celebrities spoiling their kids on their birthdays. But have you ever heard of two of the world’s biggest rappers throwing a private concert for a 16 year old?

Mayweather hosted a birthday bash extravaganza at the Mirage Grand Ballroom in Vegas for his daughter's sweet sixteen. The lavish party was headlined by performances by none other than Drake and Future. The party reportedly set Mayweather back 7 figures.

Mayweather has accumulated an unfathomable amount of jewelry over the past several years. His collection consisting of diamond encrusted watches, bracelets, chains and rings, have been valued at over 10 million dollars. He has been spotted on many occasions rocking millions of dollars worth of jewelry at once.

One of his most prized possessions and most expensive purchases is a 1.1 million dollar Hublot watch he picked up in Dubai last year. The timepiece, which is one of the most expensive watches on the planet, has an army of white diamonds encrusted around the entire enclosure.

7. 1.1 Million Dollar Bet

Mayweather is notorious for betting huge sums of money on various sporting events. While being interviewed on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show, Mayweather admitted to betting 1.1 million dollars on the Oregon Ducks back in 2013. He walked away a winner with a cool 1 million dollars.

Puzzled as to how Mayweather could gamble such a large amount of cash on a sporting event, Fallon told Mayweather: “I wouldn’t be able to watch that, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. I don’t know what I’d do. I would leave the country.” Mayweather shrugged off the conversation, stating ‘It was a cool game”, and acknowledged that he had no problem stomaching the huge bet he placed.

He clearly isn’t phased by much and has a ton of cash to risk.
