Floyd Mayweather Jr. showed off his impressive car collection on social media, putting to rest rumors about his financial troubles. The boxing legend, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record, earned hundreds of millions during his career spanning over two decades.
Mayweather's Instagram video, titled "Valet At The House," gave fans a glimpse of his $40 million car collection. The showcase included a Maybach Landaulet G-Wagon worth over $1 million, a Tiffany Blue Ferrari 488 Spider nicknamed "Italian Stallion," and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS called "White Girl Waste." A new G-Wagon also made an appearance in the video.
The boxer's car collection reportedly includes over 100 vehicles. In 2017, Mayweather sold his Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, valued at $4.7 million, to buy a $20 million yacht.
This display of wealth comes after speculation about Mayweather's financial status. Viral videos and articles suggested he might be facing bankruptcy, with former friend 50 Cent adding fuel to these claims.
Mayweather's recent business ventures have also raised eyebrows. He announced a $402 million investment in affordable housing in Upper Manhattan in 2023. However, a Business Insider report couldn't verify this investment through public records, leading to questions about the deal's authenticity.
Fans rushed to defend Mayweather on social media, making jokes and marveling at his extravagant collection. Critics, on the other hand, questioned his financial standing and criticized the flaunting of wealth.
"My empire was built with hard work, determination, and smart financial moves," Mayweather stated in response to the rumors. "This car collection is a testament to my extraordinary career."
Despite the controversy, Mayweather's car collection serves as a reminder of his successful boxing career and business acumen. His wealth appears to be well-earned and sustainable, silencing doubters for now.
