Floyd Mayweather Jr. added one more luxury house to his collection, as reports confirmed the retired boxing superstar bought a home in Miami Beach. Mayweather is known for buying expensive cars and houses.
According to Los Angeles Times, Mayweather bought the property, which has clean lines and ultramodern look, for $7.7 million. The Florida home also features vaulted interiors and Ipe wood siding, while the floor-to-ceiling windows will give the former pound-for-pound king a good view of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The Ipe wood siding gives Mayweather privacy when he is inside the 5,200 square-foot property. It also has an elegant rooftop patio, a private dock, an outdoor kitchen, and a zero-edge swimming fool. Inside the luxurious home are floating staircase made of glass and steel along with a chef's kitchen with white countertops and cabinets.
The property also has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The mansion, which was first listed for $8.49 million, was sold via listing agent Raymond Bolduc of One Sotheby's International Realty, while Mayweather hired the Castelli Real Estate Services for the negotiation. The 39-year-old also has other properties in Las Vegas and Miami.
Mayweather, who is considered as one of the highest-paid athletes of all time, has an estimated net worth of $650 million according to The Richest. Just in 2015 alone, the Grand Rapids native earned $300 million from salary and sponsorship. He reportedly pocketed $240 million for facing Manny Pacquiao in their record-breaking bout in May 2015. Forbes and Sports Illustrated named the unbeaten boxing icon the highest-paid athlete in 2015.
Mayweather, who owns a perfect 49-0 record with 26 knockout victories, announced his retirement in September after scoring a unanimous decision victory over Andre Berto. The win over Berto came just four months after running away with a unanimous decision victory against his biggest rival, Pacquiao, who also called it quits in April.
While Mayweather has not fought for eight months, most fans expect him to make a comeback fight to chase his 50th victory. He was recently linked to fight with reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight champion Conor McGregor, but the MMA superstar is already booked for a rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 202.
