Floyd Mayweather Lands $24 Million Miami Beach Mansion
The boxer’s new waterfront digs include a private doc and large entertainment area.

Retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has just dropped approx. $24.4 million on a knock-out new waterfront estate in Miami Beach
The contemporary three-story spread is set on the city’s upscale and guard-gated Palm Island, an enclave where the typical asking price for a home stood at approx. $28.5 million in July, a whopping 200% increase from the same time in 2020, according to data from realtor.com.
Mr. Mayweather, 44, was crowned the highest-paid athlete of the decade by Forbes in 2019 after he brought in US$915 million over a 10-year period. He made last week’s purchase through a Nevada-based limited liability company of which he’s manager, property records show.
Spanning 1008sqm, his lavish new home boasts unobstructed views of the city skyline, passing cruise ships and the coveted city sunset, according to the listing with Dina Goldentayer and Ana Viyella of Douglas Elliman, who declined to comment on the sale.
The nine-bedroom mansion was conceived for both indoor and outdoor enjoyment, the listing said. Fitted with neutral, sleek interiors, it has amenities including an indoor movie theatre, a gym, a game room, a large entertainment area, smart-home systems and an elevator.
There’s also a roof deck, a pool, a four-car garage and a private dock which can accommodate boats up to 100 feet.
Tanasha Pettigrew of Galleria International Realty represented Mr. Mayweather in the deal.
This latest addition to Mr. Mayweather’s real estate portfolio joins an opulent Las Vegas mansion the boxer bought in 2018 for approx. $13.6 million and a French Modern-style estate in Beverly Hills he snapped up in 2017 for US$26 million.
Mr. Mayweather, who won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics as a featherweight, retired in August 2017 with an undefeated record.
A representative for the boxer didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is selling his Northern California estate, which was listed Monday for $24.5 million.
Located in Atherton, an extremely affluent town northwest of Palo Alto and about 30 miles south of San Francisco, the 3.36-acre property is made up of three parcels that Schmidt acquired over the years, according to public records and Compass, who has the listing.
Schmidt, 69, and his wife, businesswoman Wendy Schmidt, purchased the main home in 1990 for $2 million, according to public records accessed via PropertyShark. They remodelled the 1969 home in 2007, and at that time, bought a neighbouring parcel of land, allowing an expansion of the main house and the addition of a guest house, according to Compass, who holds the listing. A third parcel was later acquired, on which the Schmidts added an English garden house and landscaped grounds overlooking the Eastern Hills.
“Finding three contiguous parcels in Atherton is rare. Even rarer are those with views of the Eastern hills,” said listing agent Katharine Carroll of the reSolve Group at Compass. “The location of this residence is ultra private, at the back of a cul-de-sac with the main house built into a hillside that provides privacy and very good security.”
Across the estate, there are five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and six half bathrooms.
The 5,265-square-foot main house also offers a number of private outdoor spaces on its upper level, including a large terrace off the primary suite, another large terrace off a secondary bedroom, plus a third smaller terrace and two balconies.
Behind the main house is a patio with a pool and spa. For even more outdoor space, there’s an entertaining pavilion, an open lawn and an outdoor fireplace area near the guest quarters.
The grounds themselves are also a standout feature, with an array of mature plants and specimen trees. The upper portion of the property’s landscaping is designed around an Amdega-designed conservatory, which was imported from the U.K. Around the greenhouse, there is a garden of raised beds and fruit trees, Carroll said.
“From the moment you step onto the grounds, it feels as if you’ve been transported to a private botanical sanctuary,” she said.
Schmidt served as Google’s CEO from 2001 to 2011, and then became the company’s executive chairman until 2015. He could not be reached for comment.
