Forbes says Canelo's net worth is currently $275 million. That's from his boxing salary, fight purses, and smart business moves. He's ranked as the 14th highest-paid athlete in the world for 2024 and tops the list of Mexican athletes.
Canelo's been raking in the cash since he turned pro in 2005. He's earned about $600 million in his career so far, pulling in around $75 million a year just from fights.
Now, he's signed a massive new contract with Saudi Arabia. The deal's worth $400 million for five fights. That's a huge jump from his last big contract with DAZN in 2018, which was $365 million for five years but ended early in 2020.
"I'm excited about this new chapter in my career," Canelo said. "The support from Saudi Arabia will allow me to face the best opponents and give fans the fights they want to see."
Canelo's next fight is coming up in Saudi Arabia against William Scull. He'll make about $80 million for this bout, his biggest payday yet.
With this new Saudi deal, Canelo could soon crack the top 10 list of highest-paid athletes worldwide. He's already one of the richest boxers ever, and his bank account's only getting bigger.
Canelo's success isn't just about his skills in the ring. He's built a strong business portfolio outside of boxing too. From real estate to endorsements, he's making smart moves with his money.
As Canelo gears up for his fight with Scull, fans are eager to see if he can keep his winning streak going. One thing's for sure – win or lose, Canelo's bank account will come out on top.
