Doubtlessly, many stories and seers have always tried to make the world understand that it’s not money that earns happiness. But only the one who has a lot of money can understand that it is not the harbinger of happiness.

Without a doubt, the legend’s words came as an inspiration for a lot of people. Surprisingly, Jon Jones’ brother, Arthur Jones, and the former UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, seemingly agreed to Tyson’s words.
