12. Tax Bills ($26 Million In Just One Year)
One monthly expense which Mayweather was accused of not paying was his tax bill. In fact, some people suggested that the only reason that the McGregor fight happened was so the boxer would have enough money to pay Uncle Sam. Mayweather was quick to put these rumors to bed, posting images of the checks he used to pay his tax bill in 2015 on social media. Astonishingly, he paid $26 million in tax in just one year, hardly the actions of someone struggling to pay their way! It also gives us an eye-opening insight into the kind of money earned by top boxers like Mayweather.
13. Designer Wrist Watches (A New One Ever Month)
When it comes to clothes and looking good, Mayweather seems to feel that there is no limit to how much he should spend. His particular weakness appears to be for watches, and given the size and scale of his personal watch collection (and the number he gives away as gifts to his kids and former girlfriends), he must buy at least one new watch every month. He posted an image of just a small part of his collection on Instagram once, a case containing $6.4 million worth of Audermar Piguets, Rolexes and Piagets, and boasting that this selection was just one case of many!
14. Crystal Dining Sets And Diamond-Encrusted Cutlery
What do you buy the multi-millionaire who has everything? How about crystal dining sets and diamond-encrusted cutlery? Well, that’s certainly what Mayweather buys for his own houses, eating meals from fine crystal bowls with sterling silver cutlery, personalized with his own initials picked out in diamonds. Presumably such fine tableware isn’t suitable for the dishwasher, and it will be pretty expensive to replace if anything gets smashed! According to an ex-employee, Mayweather even takes his diamond cutlery when he goes out to eat at restaurants, as he is worried about catching germs from “shared” knives and forks.
