Starting from the in-ring dominance that saw him attain a record of 50-0, to his successful move as a promoter, the 43-year-old American pugilist became one of the wealthiest athletes of all time.  However, he wasn’t a born billionaire. Floyd Mayweather had to work his way up to reach where he is at today.

That said, he had several billionaire friends much before he became one. But Mayweather always had an eye for growth as he looked to his friends to show him the right path of bagging big checks. There’s no denying, Mayweather found the right answer as he is still one of the wealthiest boxers on the planet.

In an interaction with Snoop Dogg, Mayweather revealed his secret of success and the story of how he became ‘Money May’ over the years.

“Every time I got around my billionaire buddies, I was more like it’s cool to come over your house, but I need a house like this. It’s cool to ride on your yacht, but I need a yacht like this. It’s cool to ride on your jet, but I need a jet like this. And I said no, I don’t wanna ride yours,” said Mayweather.
