FLOYD MAYWEATHER | $450 MILLION

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an American boxing champion. He is one of six athletes to surpass $1 billion in total career earnings. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are part of this exclusive group. Most of the highest-paid athletes got richer from their endorsement deals and other endeavors. However, Mayweather is different. Two of his fights alone made him more than half a billion, $300 million from his fight with Conor McGregor and $250 million with Manny Pacquiao.

Floyd is the junior of Floyd Mayweather Sr., who was a professional boxer, too. When his father was sent to jail, his grandmother took over to take good care of him. He dropped out of high school to pursue boxing. By the 1990s, Floyd Jr. had won national Golden Gloves championships thrice and a bronze in the Atlanta Olympics. In 2015, the boxing champ announced his retirement, and he might probably live in one of his houses in Vegas, which he acquired without the need of a house loan.
