Floyd Mayweather has been known to flaunt his wealth, but he remarkably spent $18million on one item.
Mayweather has become one of the world’s biggest sporting superstars, with his skills in the boxing ring seeing him retire with a perfect professional record of 50 wins.
The American became one of the sport’s biggest ever pay-per-view draws and headlined the biggest events, resulting in the legend pocketing a remarkable $1.2billion in total earnings.
During his career and since his retirement, Mayweather has been living a plush lifestyle buying a whole host of properties, luxury items and making other investments.
But one of his most expensive purchases ever came on an incredible luxury watch, a passion which he has shared with his fans for several years.
In 2018, Mayweather revealed that he had picked up a new ‘Billionaire Watch’ to add to his incredible collection, for the small price of $18m.
The custom-made timepiece was first revealed in 2015, and is made by luxury jewellers Jacob & Co.
Incredibly, the watch is made of emerald-cut diamonds to a total of 260 carats, with each single stone weighing a monstrous 3 carats.
It’s bracelet to hold the clock face in place also has 18 carats, and the watch is one-of-a-kind, the only version of this model to exist on the planet.
The watch ranks as one of the most expensive to have ever been purchased in the world, and its worth puts it alongside some of Mayweather’s biggest-ever investments.
He bought the watch off of jeweller Tadashi Fukushima and it is considered the prized possession of his collection.
Mayweather posted an image of his new purchase for fans to see six years ago, while showing off his crazy amount of jewellery he already owns.
