As a result, it has set the American icon up for a lifestyle of luxury and wealth, as well as for generations to come.

Of course the money can dry up if not careful, given Mayweather retired from competitive action in 2017.
He has since been fighting in lucrative exhibitions against the likes of Logan Paul, Deji and John Gotti III but his fighting exploits are likely to be behind him entirely soon.
But it is his investments outside of the sport that are currently paying dividends, including his passion for real estate and property.
And incredibly, during an acceptance speech after being inducted into the International Boxing Hall Of Fame in 2021, he suggested he makes a colossal $300 million each month.
He said: “I will continue to give back to the sport of boxing in my time, and I will also give back financially because I got it.
“To my team, my guys in New York, and my other real estate team that’s here today, we can’t be stopped.
“In 32 months, I put myself in a position with a smart business team to make $300m a month. It all started from the sport of boxing.”
Many at the time believed it may have have been a slip of the tongue from the American, who quoted the remarkable figure.
But he later doubled down on that exact claim in a separate interview.
He added: “In 36 months of course. From one of my investments, I will be making $300 million a month.
“Just in real estate. I’m heavy in my investing in real estate. Even though I have my own cash.
“I have a lot of cash, but you don’t always have to use your money. You have to keep your credit right.”
Irrespective of the exact figure, Mayweather has completely monetised his brand and is likely one of the richest athletes in the sport’s history.
The American earned two paydays that are comparable to no other in his prime, first for his long-awaited showdown with bitter rival Pacquiao in 2015.
He pocketed a reported £230 million purse for the win, a frightening amount as the most lucrative nights came at the back end of his career.
The skillful champion also monetized a huge showdown with UFC superstar McGregor, in the final bout of his career in 2017.
He cruised to a routine win and earned another reported £230 million for the huge fight.
Mayweather promoted himself and gathered a huge team around him, allowing him to pursue the most money-spinning night available.
The legend now owns a boxing promotion of his own in Mayweather Promotions, and has an array of businesses.
