Floyd Mayweather is currently the richest boxer in the world even after retiring from the sport back in 2017. This is because the majority of his wealth can be attributed to his sound financial investments along with the promotional talents that have garnered him a wealth that could last for generations.

Moreover, Mayweather revealed one such investment which according to him is worth billions. In an interview before his exhibition bout against Logan Paul, he stated that he was doing very well financially and making investments in various sectors, including real estate and tech. “I’m well off every property that I have is paid for. My jet is paid for, all my cars are paid for, and I own billion dollars, billion-dollar buildings. I own so much property and I’m steady investing in different things. I’m invested in the tech world, I made a lot of smart investments,” he said.

Conor McGregor’s investments compared to Mayweather’s property ownership

Money’s long-time rival and UFC superstar Conor McGregor is seemingly following Mayweather’s footsteps after it was reported that he also made some investments in real estate. Back in 2021, McGregor purchased a bar in Dublin spending  $3.2 million on it. The former UFC champ bought the Black Forge Inn for $2.1 million in 2020 before spending an additional $1.1 million renovating the establishment. The following year he purchased the Marble Arch for close to $2 million. This is all part of McGregor’s plan to establish a chain of bars across Ireland and eventually move to international markets.

However, this pales in comparison to Mayweather’s property investment with billions. Although McGregor might make some headway in the business world, he is still lagging behind Mayweather by a long shot.
