At the height of his career, the boxing icon was banking hundreds of millions of dollars from fights against the likes of Irish MMA star Conor McGregor and Philippines boxer Manny Pacquiao – among others.

In his heyday, his tax bill would have been far bigger than it is now!

However, even in retirement Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is still making … money.

And lots of it.

He runs several businesses, owns a number of properties and still competes in exhibition fights around the world.

Floyd Mayweather, who will turn 47 on 24 February 2024, retired with a perfect 50-0 record.
