Floyd Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers in history.
With a perfect 50-0 record, blockbuster wins over stars like Manny Pacquiao, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, and Conor McGregor, and more than a billion dollars generated in career earnings, it’s no surprise that Mayweather is incredibly wealthy.
Still, even knowing all of that, the figure he once casually revealed to a journalist remains jaw-dropping.

Journalist’s Reflection on Floyd Mayweather’s Fortune
He remembers the legendary boxer handing him a slip
As Keown recalled, Mayweather discreetly handed him a thermal paper slip, the kind you’d get after a bank transaction. Curious, Keown glanced down and slowly counted the digits printed on it. The total? Over $123 million (£92.7 million) sitting in a single personal account.
“He looks around to make sure nobody is watching before holding out a slip of paper cupped in his right hand. It is a bank slip, and Floyd is watching me watch it as my eyes attempt to focus on the balance. I look at the numbers spread out across the thermal paper.

“I look up to see Floyd smiling. He begins to laugh. I say something unintelligible about too many numbers. I’m not sure what prompted this. I look down one more time to make sure I got it right. And yes, it’s right there, 11 numbers long.
“There is more than $123 million in Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s bank account.”
The staggering balance might seem unreal to most people, but for Mayweather, it was just another day. He later confirmed to Keown that the entire sum was indeed in one place. “One account, baby,” he said.
Floyd Mayweather’s 2025 Net Worth
Despite no longer boxing, he’s still worth a pretty penny
Mayweather’s estimated net worth today is believed to be around $500 million (£376 million), though, he’s reportedly earned more than twice that across his legendary career. His bouts with Pacquiao and McGregor alone earned him a combined $550 million (£414 million).
While most people in his position would have financial advisors managing a network of investments and accounts, Mayweather has always prided himself on doing things his own way. Keeping that many figures in one account might seem reckless to some, but for a man nicknamed ‘Money’, it’s just another example of his unorthodox approach to wealth.
It’s a moment that left even a seasoned reporter speechless and remains one of the most outrageous financial anecdotes in modern sport.
