Mike Tyson Once Spent $5.5 Million From His Net Worth in 11 Days: ‘We Got the Whole Carnival’

‘Iron’ Mike Tyson has always loved living a life of colossal extravagance. Talking on the ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game’ podcast, the former champ revealed how he once spent $5.5 million in 11 days.

The podcast hosted by Wallace Peeples aka Wallo267 and Gillie da King saw Tyson talking about his boxing journey and life post boxing.

In conversation, Wallo267 was seen asking Tyson, “What’s the most money you’ve spent in one day?”

To which Tyson replied saying, “I had 5.5 million dollars. Supposedly to hold me for, I guess I don’t know how long they thought that was gonna hold me for. And we got through that within a week and a half.”

Tyson’s reply stunned the hosts, who responded with an audible, “D*MN!”

However, Tyson also revealed that he did not spend the money on himself. He rather spent that money on his crew and the people with them. Tyson added saying, “You know when it’s going down, it’s not just you and your crew. Your crew got 30 people. We got a whole carnival”.

His ‘love’ for animals did not end there, he even spent $400,000 on pigeons. His other preposterous purchases include a 1997  Bentley Continental T that cost him $500,000 and a gold bathtub that allegedly cost him $2.2 million.
