Floyd Mayweather paid the taxman a whopping R343-million
If this is what Floyd Mayweather owed the taxman while he is retired, imagine what he was paying before then...
Former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather has revealed the staggering amount he recently had to pay the taxman.
The boxing legend took to Instagram to share a picture of a cheque he signed for $18,047,181 (R343-million).
"Just before I paid that light million and change for that little Super Bowl stuff, I had to pay the IRS aka Uncle Sam $18,047,181. This is what I owed in taxes while I’m retired so just imagine what I was paying when I was activated," he wrote.
Floyd doesn't seem too fazed about paying the gigantic tax bill. According to Forbes, Floyd has a net worth of $285-million.
"You can call him whatever you want but you can’t call him broke," one Instagram user wrote.
Another added: "I hate when celebs do this. What is this supposed to mean to us? And how does it impact our world?"

A few days before signing his IRS cheque, Floyd spent over $1-million (R18-million) on a Super Bowl suite.
He once again took to Instagram to provide receipts for his 29-million followers.

I don’t mind accepting invites at times, but one things for sure...The person that’s paying does all the saying. Therefore I get My Own seats and suites so I can do what I want and invite who I want! I’m blessed to be taking 34 people to experience the 1st Super Bowl in Las Vegas! $1,131,000.00" he wrote.
