Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the richest boxers in the world. Although the former five-division champion retired from professional boxing back in 2017 he is still making money off his exhibition bouts and other business projects. This has garnered him a net worth of $450 million. Therefore it isn’t surprising that ‘Money’ spends his wealth on lavish things like luxury cars, expensive jewelry, and designer clothing.

Moreover, he even revealed that he had a couple of private jets which is a lot by normal standards. However, multi-billionaire Warren Buffett has a jet collection that makes Mayweather’s collection look pretty small.

So me and Warren Buffett is sitting down like this in a dressing room. One time right before one of my fights talking to him he was talking about his jets. I’m talking about my jets at the particular time, I think I had two jets, and they said this man he got, I think 540 jets he had like 500 or something jets so he showing out,” said Mayweather.

Buffett is currently the fifth richest man in the world and has a net worth of $108.6 billion, as per Forbes. However, he is known for his humble and down-to-earth lifestyle which makes this collection even more surprising. Although Mayweather might be aiming to add a few jets to his collection, he still has a long way to reach the number of jets Buffett owns.
