11 Floyd Mayweather Facts So Outrageous They Don’t Sound Real

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the highest-paid athletes of all time. He earned over $1 billion in his boxing career with many millions more coming down the pipeline with a rematch against Manny Pacquiao coming up on September 19, 2026.

One thing about Floyd Mayweather is that he spent A LOT of that money. ‘Life is for the living’ seemed to be front of mind for Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and this has led to some outrageous facts about his life, career, and spending.

11 Floyd Mayweather Facts So Over The Top They Don’t Sound Real (But Are)

Here we break down 11 outrageous Floyd Mayweather facts related to his lifestyle and spending. For most of us, some of his spending decisions are unfathomable. But it worked. He’s still obscenely wealthy even after settling up on back taxes. Let’s dive in on the wild Floyd Mayweather Jr. trivia and facts though!

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Never Wore The Same Pair Of Underwear Twice

It’s true. He made so much money the man never wore the same pair of boxers or underwear more than once and would constantly buy new ones. And not just underwear! Floyd would only wear a pair of shoes once before tossing it aside.

No amount of money in the world would have me living like this. But to each his own. I prefer the ExOfficio travel boxer briefs that can be worn a literal thousand times without falling apart.

2. He Spent $12,000/Week At Japanese Steakhouses

For years, Floyd Mayweather Jr. would spend $12,000 a week (or more) at the same Japanese steakhouse. His Japanese steakhouse of choice was the Musashi Japanese Steakhouse on Paradise Road in Las Vegas where Floyd lives.

He is believed to have spent over half a million dollars at this restaurant alone. I respect this move. If it was me I would’ve just built a hibachi setup at home and hired my favorite chef to work full-time but there’s something to be said about getting out of the house.

3. He Has Spent Tens Of Millions On Watches

Over the years, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has spent tens of millions on wristwatches. The crown jewel of his collection is the Jacob & Co. “Billionaire” watch which cost him $18 million for the one piece!

Floyd owns watches made by Richard Mille, Audemars Piguet, and Hublot. He owns a $1.1 million Hublot Big Bang and a $1 million piece from Avi & Co. Hue watches.

4. Floyd Had A Full-Time Car Sanitizer

Yes, you read that right. Floyd Mayweather employed someone to sanitize his cars every single day. He would not get in the cars unless they were sanitized and detailed.

I suppose this makes sense when your car collection is made up of 5 Bugattis, 16 Rolls-Royces, a $5 million Koenigsegg, and 33 Mercedes-Benz from the same dealership! The total value of his car collection is believed to be over $40 million. I cannot wrap my mind around owning 33 cars in a lifetime.

5. He Bought A $50,000 iPod

Remember the iPod? Of course you do. Everyone had an iPod before Apple sunset the line by folding the functionality into the iPhone.

Well, at one point back in 2014 Floyd Mayweather Jr. spent $50,000 on a diamond-encrusted iPod. Dude was rocking wired earbuds and a $50K iPod Classic covered in diamonds and this was only 12 years ago! Time flies.

6. One Jet Was Not Enough For Floyd Mayweather Jr.

When you are the highest-paid athlete in the world you jet set. CEOs of multi-national corporations use PJs for work and I’m not saying Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn’t as well, I’m sure he did, but did he really need TWO private jets?

His first PJ purchase was a $60 million Gulfstream G650 nicknamed “Air Mayweather” with ‘TBE’ (The Best Ever) and ’50-0′ painted on the wingtips. His second jet purchase was a $30 million Gulfstream IV.

7. Nobody Gambled Like Floyd Mayweather Jr.

You know those nerves and that thrill when you place a big bet on NFL Sundays? Maybe it’s a few hundred dollars, or even a few thousand. I don’t know you or how much you’re wagering but I won’t judge. Either way it is nothing compared to what Floyd Mayweather Jr. was betting.

He is believed to have gambled $5.9 million on one single NBA game. For a long stretch, Floyd was betting $100K a week. It is reported he lost $100 million in a single year from gambling, a year that was capped off with thieves stealing $7 million in jewelry from his house.

In 2017, Floyd tried to place a $400,000 bet ON HIMSELF to knock out Conor McGregor. Unfortunately for Floyd, no sportsbooks in Las Vegas would accept the bet.

8. He Owns More Jewelry Than Most Jewelry Stores

Adding things up, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has spent tens of millions on jewelry throughout the years. It is estimated his collection is valued at over $50 million, most of which is kept in his locked safe.

Some of his prized pieces include a $1 million white-gold Cuban link chain that has 8,5000 diamonds. And, of course, the aforementioned $2 million Jacob & Co Rainbow Tourbillon watch. It is said that he never travels with less than $5 million worth of jewelry. Let that sink in for just one moment.

9. He Spent A Fortune On Daily Meals

At one point, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was paying his private chef $1,000 per meal. It is hard to fathom how much money that private chef was making with those numbers.

Sure, importing rare ingredients, meats, etc. to Las Vegas might cost more than in Los Angeles or NYC but there’s simply no way the actual cost of producing each meal was anywhere near $1,000. That chef had to be making BANK at $3K/day.

Oh, he also paid his barber $1,000 per cut… Can you recall Floyd Mayweather Jr’s hair or beard? Was it worth $1K/cut?

10. Floyd Had A Full Candy Shop Inside His Home

Now THIS is something I could 100% get on board with. A fully stocked in-home candy shop at his mansion in Las Vegas.

If you are a professional athlete and all you do all day is exercise and burn calories and your diet is completely dialed in then you have some flexibility to include candy in that diet. I’d love this in my house one day.

11. He Made Over $1 Billion In Boxing

Of course, we know he could afford all of that stuff above through boxing. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is believed to have earned over $1 billion as a boxer throughout his career.

He is said to have earned between $30 million and $100 million per fight. In 2017, Floyd earned $275 million for boxing Conor McGregor. In 2015 he made $250 million for his fight against Manny Pacquiao. If there was ever a man who grew money on trees it is Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr.
