Floyd Mayweather’s billionaire role models

Floyd Mayweather has always been open about his admiration for the world’s richest individuals. Recently, he had taken to social media to share a message about hustling and making money.

Mayweather posted a video of himself sparring. Moreover, his grandson, Kentrell Gaulding Jr. was also seen watching his grandfather train.

He gave a wholesome and heartfelt message to Gaulding Jr. giving emphasis on the importance of never stopping his hustle. He said, “I’m still able to milk the game of boxing, continuing to make 8 figures or more. I will continue to do exhibition bouts making tons of money and people from all around the world will continue to pay because my hustle is just different.”

Further, Mayweather also mentioned that he wants to make money even as he gets older. He said, “If Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and the Waltons continue making money in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, then I’m not retiring from making money and I’m younger than all of them.”

Moreover, it is also worth noting that despite coming from humble surroundings, Mayweather has also made a sizeable fortune for himself.
