Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, known for raking in hundreds of millions during his undefeated boxing career, has turned his focus to real estate. Having made a fortune in it, he’s not keeping his success a secret.
The retired boxing legend has revealed that he owns a $402 million real estate portfolio spanning 60+ properties in New York, one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world. Mayweather is encouraging fans to get in the game too, citing how lucrative it is.
According to Mayweather, investing in real estate is one of the smartest ways to build generational wealth. The boxer believes that if he can do it, so can anyone willing to put in the work. Floyd’s deal, which included over 1,000 affordable housing units in Upper Manhattan, was one of the biggest real estate transactions in NYC last year.
It marked a full circle moment for Mayweather, who grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, sharing a cramped one-bedroom apartment with seven family members. He took to Instagram to provide an insight into the acquisitions in his real estate portfolio.
“Well, lately I purchased 62 apartment buildings in New York City. Guess what, all the buildings belong to me, I don’t have no partners. All the retails down below on my buildings, all of them belong to me too. Guess what, you can do the same, it’s all about making power moves,” he said.

The undefeated champion’s business portfolio expansion does not seem to end with real estate either. Mayweather wants to own a piece of the New York Giants.
‘Money’ is leading a group looking to buy a 10% stake in the four-time Super Bowl champions. And, if reports are anything to go by, the deal is shaping up to be huge.
Floyd’s power move with the Giants
According to TMZ Sports, Mayweather and real estate mogul Meyer Orbach are putting together a massive offer to the Giants, with another big-money investor possibly joining the team soon.
The expected price tag? Around $700 million. In fact, Mayweather has already moved $200 million into an escrow account, showing just how serious he is.

While Orbach refused to comment on it any further, it should be noted that he knows a thing or two about the game, having already owned nearly 20% of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Giants, one of the most historic franchises in the NFL, are currently valued at $7.5 billion, according to Forbes. With John Mara and Steve Tisch looking to sell part of their stake, the timing of Floyd’s entry couldn’t be better.
Are other NFL team owners supporting Mayweather? Sources say he’s already received letters of support from two. So this could really happen. Now that’s a real power move by ‘Money’.
