Savers vs Spenders: These Pro Athletes Spend Their Money Very Differently

Across many professional sports, athletes earn a lot of money. For those coming from humbler origins, the newfound wealth can be exciting – but it can also lead to lavish spending that goes far above one’s means.

Some blow through their money buying mansions and luxury cars, while others realize that careers in sports are often short-lived and that their earnings need to last. Which ones are spenders, and which ones are savers?

Spender: Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather Jr. is the epitome of a spender – but, with an estimated net worth of $750 million, he has the wiggle room to splurge. Those who follow the sports are constantly reminded that even in retirement, Mayweather Jr. still makes it rain.

The boxer has a fleet of luxury cars at his disposal and even owns a private jet of his own. He also lives in a mansion in Las Vegas, where he loves to gamble and put large sums of money on the line with sports betting.
