A boxing legend Floyd Mayweather47, didn’t skimp on his Christmas gift purchases, they say TMZ and Mirror.
Mirror Mayweather published a video on social media in which he said he had bought an entire building in New York for his 3-year-old grandson.
– Can you guess what I bought? You are the first child to own a building in New York’s diamond district. We bought you a building, Mayweather said and gave the uppercut
The gift was not cheap, as the building cost 20 million dollars, or about 19 million euros. The building is located at the intersection of 6th Avenue and 47th Street. It has offices, a diamond shop and a huge billboard. There are numerous jewelry stores specializing in diamonds in the area.
The lucky 3-year-old is Mayweather’s daughter, Iyanna’s son. The child’s father is rapper NBA Youngboy (real name Kentrell DeSean Gaulden).
– I could never have imagined that one day I would own this important building, Mayweather explained his purchase.
Huge income
Mayweather grew up in modest circumstances. As a child, he lived in a studio apartment with six of his relatives.
With the boxing career, money started to flow. Mayweather won all 50 of his professional fights. His professional career ended in 2017, after which the legend has struck in eight exhibition matches.
Mayweather is estimated to have earned 1.15 billion euros during his professional career. He currently works as a real estate investor. In October, the legend bought more than 60 buildings in New York in a giant deal worth 385.5 million euros.
