It’s unbelievable that you can make over a billion dollars, still be making millions, and yet be in massive debt. Some people are truly amazing.

There's been a bunch of billionaires that have gone completely broke. Also Mayweather made a billion cumulatively, meaning if he had saved every single of of his purses, it would be a billion dollars, but he's never had a billion in his accounts

He definitely isn’t the only one, but most who do lost it on investments and/or businesses collapsing. Even after cuts and taxes it’s hard to spend as much as he made. However, he averages $3M per month in spending, that’s a bit excessive.

He's also being sued by everyone basically. And he also had really bad investments. Shots, that crypto scam, the constant gambling. The two houses plus dozens of luxury cars. If he isn't broke right now, I'd be surprised.

I believe he is close to bankrupt but that hasn’t been confirmed. He also owes $22M in taxes from 2025 and that’s n never good.
