Years After Going Bankrupt, Close Aide Reveals Major Role Mike Tyson’s Wife Lakiha Spicer Played in His $160 Million Success (Exclusive)

Mike Tyson has a net worth of $10 million today. That wasn’t always the case. Once upon a time, he had a net worth of $400 million, but he lost it all and had to declare bankruptcy. However, during this tumultuous period of his life, there was one constant, and that was the unwavering support of his wife – Lakiha Spicer.

Lakiha, or ‘Kiki’ Tyson as she is also known, has had a pivotal role to play in growing the flourishing cannabis business of ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet.’ In an EssentiallySports exclusive interview, the CEO of Tyson 2.0, Adam Wilks, recently revealed the role that Tyson’s wife played in bringing together Wilks and Tyson and why he admires her so much. Adam Wilks spoke on ES FanCast with our Host Noah Lack.

Why Adam Wilks admires Kiki Tyson?

Mike Tyson and Lakiha Spicer are the parents of two children, Milan and Morocco, in their marriage of 14 years. Since 2009, Spicer has been the backbone of everything that Tyson does. In addition to being part of ‘Iron’ Mike’s personal life, she also manages the businesses run by Mike Tyson quite well. She handles the sponsorships and the scheduling of Tyson’s podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. So, it begs the question, does she have any involvement with Tyson 2.0 too?

This conundrum was solved by Adam Wilks, the CEO of Tyson 2.0’s parent company, Carma HoldCo. Speaking to EssentiallySports in an exclusive interview, Wilks revealed, “I’d say she’s heavily involved. She’s really managing Mike’s side of it. All the approvals, any use of Mike’s likeliness, his imagery, she’s on there. So I’d say Kiki’s extremely hands-on than ever. I mean she’s incredible to work with. I mean she helps me every day so I mean, a beautiful person. Great to have her onboard. Looks out for Mike better than anybody else, so I mean I respect her for that. She’s just an amazing mother. She’s overall, great mother, great wife, great businesswoman. So yeah a big fan of Kiki Tyson.”

Mike Tyson now has a firm foothold in the cannabis business. Since 2021, the Tyson 2.0 has reached a total of 24 states, and has continued to make major developments moving forward with their agenda. A year ago, Mike Tyson sat down with New Cannabis Ventures and talked about how, at first, he was skeptical about this line of business. However, everything changed when he met Chad Bronstein, the president and co-founder of Tyson 2.0’s parent company, Carma HoldCo.

In the interview, Tyson talked about how he got introduced to Bronstein, he said, “I believe I met him through my brother-in-law and Kiki, my wife. They told me that these were the guys you could work with. We had a situation before we met Chad and Tyson 2.0, and so my brother-in-law and my wife was explaining that this is the right way to go and they were telling me about the background of Chad and Adam.” In the end he added, “So I’m just happy to meet these guys.”

Spicer took the time to associate with the right people, Chad Bronstein and Adam Wilks. For that reason, Mike remains grateful to his wife and even regrets fighting with her in the past. Well, now Tyson feels blessed to have great people around him, and the fans may hear even greater things regarding the upcoming business plans of Tyson 2.0.
