Mike Tyson has been through some serious transitions over the years of his success, failure, and resurgence to the mainstream audience. Having seen the rise and fall of his own, ‘Iron’ has left a lot of his desires, which he relished during his peak years. Mike Tyson used to pet wild tigers, which he no longer does. Aged 55, he now appears a philanthropist who understands the core value of life.

That said, Mike Tyson was also fond of supercars and had many of them when he was reigning inside the boxing ring. From Lamborghini to Mercedes, he had it all. That said, one of Mike Tyson’s Mercedes models recently got sold but at the fraction of its original price.

Per reports, Tyson purchased the Mercedes-Benz 500 SL AMG in 1990 for a whopping $85K. However, the model got re-sold on eBay with the winning bid at $10,600. According to the advertiser, who put it on sale, the car was gold painted. But former pictures reflect it to be silver colored. Besides, Mike Tyson’s name adds more value to the model, which is now owned by someone else.

During that time, the Mercedes-Benz 500 SL AMG carried ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ for several years.

Well, it was one of the many cars that Tyson had in his garage. These massive expenditures cost Tyson a lot as he was declared bankrupt in 2003. Mike Tyson fought a few more times after that, just to revive his financial condition.
