Floyd Mayweather, the highest-paid boxer in history, has shown off his 62 buildings in Manhattan that he purchased for $402 million, which include over 1,000 apartments.
In a video posted to his Instagram account, which has nearly 30 million followers, Mayweather said he bought the properties entirely on his own, without any business partners. The apartments, located in Morningside Heights, Upper Manhattan, and Harlem, will be rented out, potentially generating him millions of dollars per month.
“This is just the beginning,” he said.
In the video, the 48-year-old boxer walked past the buildings, pointing at each one. “This is mine. All the retail stores below these buildings are mine too. You can achieve this too, but you have to make bold moves,” he told viewers.
Born in 1977 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather began his professional boxing career in 1996. Over the course of his career, he fought 50 matches without a single loss, earning him the nickname “The Undefeated.” He won 15 world titles across five weight classes and is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, according to Boxrec, a website that tracks professional and amateur boxing records
Mayweather has earned $1.48 billion from fights and sponsorships, making him the highest-paid boxer in history, according to Sportico. He ranks among the top 10 highest-earning athletes ever, with Michael Jordan leading at $3.75 billion.
In the past, Mayweather has claimed that his real estate ventures alone could bring in up to $300 million per month. In November 2024, he invested $100 million with a partner in a $3 billion rental property portfolio. His primary focus remains on New York City, the most densely populated U.S. city and a global hub for culture, finance, and media.
Mayweather retired in 2017 but has since competed in exhibition matches, earning tens of millions per fight—sometimes over $100 million.
At 48, he is rumored to be planning a comeback this year, with possible opponents including Logan Paul, John Gotti III, or even former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand. However, his next fight has yet to be confirmed.
