Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will not have the nickname “Money” for nothing. He is said to be swimming in cash, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. He is the fifth highest-paid athlete of all time and one of the only six athletes who has earned a billion-dollar. Since the advent of CompuBox, he is generally regarded as the best defensive boxer and most accurate boxer in history, with the highest plus-minus ratio in the history of boxing on record. But despite the wealth, the 43-year-old star was not safe from financial issues.

Back then, the 43-year-old boxing promoter reportedly owed the IRS a whopping $22 million worth of unpaid taxes. Although Mayweather denied the claim, according to reports, he paid the federal agency this huge amount. Credits to Mayweather, despite refusing to admit the problem, he still paid his due. Now, the retired boxer is living his best life.
