Many athletes across the world have amassed millions of dollars because of their illustrious sporting careers. Along with their big paychecks, athletes also earn massive sums because of endorsements and their businesses. The world’s best players often take time off from their rigorous routine lifestyle and spend more time with their close ones at some of the most exotic locations on earth. In fact, many seasoned athletes have luxurious yachts to their aid for a peaceful vacation. 

Whenever there is a discussion about the most lucrative fights in boxing, Floyd Mayweather’s mega PPV events always top the list. Most notable fight which tops the list is his electrifying showdown with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather has emerged to become the richest boxer in the world, and he has earned the moniker ‘Money’.

The five-division boxing champ likes to live his life king-size. Notably, he bought a sublime $200  million yacht back in 2018. As we talked about ‘Pac-Man’ above, the former senator of the Philippines also owns a fantastic P500 million yacht, but its price is unknown. 

It is very obvious that athletes of this stature can afford some of the most extravagant possessions. However, there is another person from the sports industry who has left ‘Money’ and ‘Pac-Man’ behind to purchase the most expensive yacht. 

Who is the athlete with the most expensive yacht? 

You must be thinking about Michael Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo or Tiger Woods. But the sports person with the most expensive yacht is Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. He owns a luxurious yacht for his leisure time, which cost him a staggering $250 million. 

Although Jones is regarded as a businessman today, but the 79-year-old was a football player during his college days. The entrepreneur’s love for the sport inspired him to build “America’s Team”. And now the California native has a staggering net worth of $8.4 billion.
