Mike Tyson is, according to the numbers provided by Sportico’s statistics, the second highest-earning boxer in the history of the sport, coming in second only to Floyd Mayweather with a total of up to 875 million USD (converted at current values). Despite this, ‘Iron Fist’ is well-known for his practice of tossing money out of windows. Because of this, he was forced to file for bankruptcy in the year 2003.
Henry Cejudo, a former champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, recently participated in a podcast discussion in which he stated that Mike had spent up to 400 million USD. Mike was the one who stated that if he could change the past, he would have handled some situations differently.
During his time as a player, Mike Tyson amassed earnings in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
If I had everything to do again, I would put my money into real estate and acquire apartments in different cities throughout the world. “I will make the trip there once a year to spend a few days there,” Mike declared.
The youngest champion in the history of the heavyweight division revealed to the visitors that the account about giving Henry Tillman a car was accurate when he was conversing with them.
As a result of this, Tillman approached Mike one time when he was cruising around in his costly Lamborghini and admired the car. After he saw that, Mike promptly handed over the keys to this vehicle to Tillman. It should go without saying that Mike’s ideal opponent would be Tillman. After two matches, each side has a record of one victory and one defeat.

Not only Tillman, Mike also gave cars to friends and relatives. ‘What did I do with 400 million? I hang out with guys who have nothing. How bad of a person would I be if I didn’t share my wealth with them?’, Mike explained his actions.
After leaving professional boxing, the 56-year-old former boxer spent more wisely. His assets are currently estimated at about 10 million USD. In 2020, he returned to the ring to perform with Roy Jones and won a draw. This is most likely Mike’s last match. Last year, he had to use a wheelchair because of sciatica.
