FLOYD MAYWEATHER | $500 MILLION

Being one of the greatest in the ring sure comes with a lot of perks—one of which is a staggering $450 million net worth. Floyd Mayweather is undeniably a beast in the ring, and someone of his degree sure gets paid handsomely for throwing solid punches. Besides, people want to see something new, and it’s not every day that you get to see a counter-puncher like Mayweather knock someone twice his size.

However, his journey to the top was not always glamorous. In fact, it’s one filled with a lot of sweat and hard work—literally. Debuting in his first professional fight on the 11th of October 1996 against Roberto Apodaca, Mayweather stunned the world with a 2nd round knockout. The king’s reign was simply about to begin since he’d go on to dominate in 5 different weight classes, namely Super Welterweight, Welterweight, Junior Welterweight, Super Featherweight, and Lightweight. With $300 million per fight, Mayweather’s nickname is simply beyond fitting—Money.
