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.

A 110-year-old Colorado estate that has hosted Frank Sinatra and Lyndon B. Johnson just slashed $10 million off its price tag.
The 12,000-square-foot manor house—with 25 rooms—and its five accessory dwelling in the alpines of Evergreen was relisted on Friday asking $16.8 million, down from its initial $26.8 million price in 2023.
The sellers, Richard and Pamela Bard, who paid $1.3 million for the “legacy property” named Greystone Estate in 1992, have shopped it around on and off for the past 20 years, according to agent Jessica Northrop at Compass Real Estate.
Richard Bard, CEO of his own private equity firm, has “hosted many corporate events and retreats where important business is discussed but they are also able to relax,” Northrop said. “Greystone has a special way of making people feel at ease.”
Bard said “it’s not a casual effort” to sell. He said it’s difficult to find a buyer with the facilities to “take care of it.”
The Bards intend to move closer to their children in Denver.
Before the Bards, Greystone Estate had several eras—as a summer house, a guest ranch and a business base—since it was built in 1915 by Genevieve Phipps, an industrialist’s daughter.
Phipps, who spent her inheritance on the land, built the 54-acre summer escape with the “elegance and feel of a fine Adirondack mansion combined with a mountain rustic style,” according to an online record of the estate’s history.
Its heyday, arguably in the 1940s to 1980s, saw Sinatra, Johnson and Groucho Marx come through its doors, when its owner William Sandifer, a socialite and one the Empire State Building’s architects, operated a guest ranch out of the place.
The Bards, who used a carriage house on the property as their company headquarters, completed Greystone’s full modernization in 1997. They also opened up the living and dining areas to receive more light, raised the ceiling on the upper level and combined several rooms to create a primary suite.
They replaced an outdoor pavilion and its helipad with something more suitable for their daughter’s wedding in 2001, according to Northrop.
The main 25-room manor includes a wine cellar, bar, gym and library.
The additional structures, which include a cottage, a log cabin, a pool house, a carriage house and a pavilion and guest house, surround the pool area and overlook acres of aspen groves and mountains.
If U.S. stock prices continue to fall, wealthy consumers could slow their spending, putting further pressure on the U.S. economy and markets. That could mean everything from fewer luxury cars and handbags being sold to reduced demand for top-end homes and fancy vacations. Broadly, retail sales rose a less-than-expected 0.2% in February from January, the Census Bureau …
