Retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr has listed his six-bedroom estate in Beverly Hills, California, for $48 million, according to wealth tracking platform Celebrity Net Worth.

Mayweather bought the home for $25.5 million in 2017. The mansion on a half-acre lot is a two-minute drive from the Beverly Hills Hotel, and was built “on spec” almost a decade ago by developer Nile Niami.

The mansion boasts more than 15,300 square feet of living space, with six bedrooms and ten bathrooms, along with a number of amenities.

The estate’s open floor plan and expansive spaces are “perfect for entertaining on a grand scale”, the official listing says.

The main residence boasts a formal living room framed by 10 sets of French doors, a panelled library, dining room, and a gourmet kitchen.

The estate also includes a sweets shop, and a 300-bottle wine room. The guesthouse includes a 12-seat movie theatre, gym, staff quarters and a sizeable garage.

Mayweather, 47, is estimated to have a personal fortune worth $400 million, making him the richest boxer of all time, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

He retired undefeated from his career with 15 major world championships. Considered one of the top five best boxers of all time, Mayweather now works as a promoter of the sport.

Having boxed his way to more than $1.2 billion in career earnings, Mayweather has invested a significant portion of the money in property.

He is one of just six athletes whose career earnings have topped $1 billion. The other five are Michael Schumacher ($1 billion), Jack Nicklaus ($1.15 billion), Arnold Palmer ($1.35 billion), Tiger Woods ($1.65 billion), and Michael Jordan ($1.9 billion), according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Mayweather is the fifth highest-paid athlete of all time. “What's perhaps most impressive about Floyd's earning stats is that he managed to become the fifth highest-paid athlete ever with relatively scant endorsement earnings. By comparison, most of the highest-paid athletes in history earned the vast majority of their income through endorsement deals,” Celebrity Net Worth estimates.

Mayweather earned more than half a billion dollars from just two fights. He earned $250 million in 2015 after fighting Manny Pacquiao and earned $300 million fighting Conor McGregor in 2017.

Outside of the ring, he typically earns $10 million from endorsements and other investments per year.

Mayweather still reportedly owns homes in Las Vegas and Miami Beach – paid $10 million for his Vegas mansion and $18 million for the compound in Miami Beach.

He owns an apartment in New York City, the Mayweather Boxing Club in Vegas, and another club in Vegas.

He also reportedly owns a $60 million Gulfstream G650 private jet, which he dubbed “Air Mayweather”.

Mayweather owns two private jets. The second is a $30 million Gulfstream III. When he travels, Floyd reportedly flies in the G650 with his closest associates while "Air Mayweather II" follows with his entourage, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

He owns more than 40 high-end watches. He has claimed that when he goes on holiday, he brings 30 watches and is wearing at least $3 million worth of jewellery at all times. In 2015, Floyd paid $18 million for a single watch made by Jacob the Jeweler.

He also owns dozens of high-end cars and reportedly owns 16 Rolls-Royces. At one point, all the cars he owned and kept at one mansion were white, and all the cars he kept at his other mansion were black, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu

Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has invested in direct-to-consumer wellness start-up Secret Alchemist, media platform Inc42 reported.

The brand has also onboarded The Family Man actress as its co-founder on the back of this investment, the report said.

While the start-up did not disclose the financial terms of the deal, it said that the funds will be used to boost its marketing efforts, brand presence and expand customer reach.

Founded in 2021, Secret Alchemist is an aromatherapy-based wellness brand that claims to offer a range of products centred around essential oils and holistic well-being.

“When I was on my healing journey and went for treatment abroad, aromatherapy became an unexpected source of comfort and healing for me. I realised just how much the healers in the West were using the power of essential oils to enhance well-being,” Prabhu said in a statement.

“It made such a difference to my health that when I returned to India, I searched for a brand I could trust. That’s when I found Secret Alchemist. I joined hands with the brand because I believe in putting my money where my heart is.”

The start-up also claimed to have raised $500,000 in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures.

The actress had previously invested in at least three start-ups, including e-commerce marketplace SustainKart, vegan food product start-up Nourish You and casual wear brand The Souled Store, according to Inc42.

The 37-year-old actress is estimated to have a net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

She is best known for her roles in south Indian films such as Eega, Neethaane En Ponvasantham and Mahanati, among others.

Prabhu has secured endorsement deals with local and international brands, including Lux, Neutrogena and Coca Cola.

She works with charitable organisations and helped found NGO Pratyusha Support, which helps women and children with financial issues.

In March 2022, Prabhu became the second highest-paid south Indian actress after Nayanthara, according to a report by Indian daily The Times of India.

Actor-director George Clooney sold his Studio City home in California for $14.5 million last month, according to real estate portal The Real Deal.

The three-acre property was sold to National Football League star Christian McCaffrey and his model wife Olivia Culpo, Celebrity Net Worth reported.

In 1992, Clooney paid $2.2 million to buy the property from musician Stevie Nicks.

The Oscar winner reminisced about his purchase of the 7,354-square-foot house in a 2012 segment of the CBS programme Person to Person.

“I was in the second season of ER [hit medica drama] living in a little house and I thought, well maybe it’s time to get a little bit larger house off the street so I wouldn’t fall prey to every photographer,” Clooney said.

“To me, it was a sign of making it, to be able to buy your own home.”

Since then, the actor invested millions into renovating the six-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion.

The house boasts a theatre equipped with a popcorn machine, a basketball court, and an open-air dining room with a temperature-controlled wine wall, among its amenities.

Clooney and his wife Amal Alamuddin, a civil rights lawyer, maintain an international real estate portfolio worth at least $100 million, with homes in the UK, Italy, France, and New York City.

The Ocean’s Eleven actor, 63, is reported to have a personal fortune of $500 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

He regularly earns at least $20 million for a single film role without even including back-end royalties and residuals, the website reported.
