Floyd Mayweather once bought his son one of the most luxury and rare birthday gifts available.
Mayweather has had a sensational career in the boxing ring, which saw him rise to become a global superstar, and helped him pocket earnings in excess of $1.2billion for his fights.

Throughout his time in the spotlight, ‘TBE’ has spent money on some seriously extravagant collections, watches, supercars, mansions and fashion items.
But none came more incredible than the gift he bought for his son Koraun for his 15th birthday back in 2014.
The boxing great wanted to provide for his family throughout his career, and he certainly did that as he bought the teenager a luxury $13,000 golf cart.
Incredibly, the cart was coloured and made from gold, and branded and designed as a Bentley super-car.
He posted on Instagram at the time: “My son @kingkoraun wanted a Bentley golf cart for his 15th birthday so I made it appear.
“Stay on the look out for his gift for his 16th birthday!”
Koraun posed with the incredible cart, sat in the drivers seat with his father in a famous photo which went viral.
Astonishingly, the cart had space for sand bottles on each side, but had no space to actually place any golf clubs on it.
But his son was clearly delighted with the incredible gift, the first of many as Mayweather’s career continued to shoot into stardom.
It was a hugely successful year for Mayweather all in all, with the American legend having fought twice that year.

He headlined Las Vegas’ iconic MGM Grand, with two wins against Marcos Maidana.
The first came in tough fashion as he was handed the win on the judges’ scorecards by majority decision, with one scoring it a draw.
Mayweather produced a more dominant display in their sequel taking a unanimous decision win to put an end to their rivalry.
It is no wonder he was able to buy luxury gifts, as he pocketed two guaranteed purses of $32m for each outing.
That did not include pay-per-view revenue, and sponsorship which saw him have nearly a $100m year.
Mayweather has often spoken about how he built up his wealth negotiating lucrative contracts, while also making a generational wealth plan for his children.
And his money-spinning fight nights continued until the end of his career as he went on to take on bitter rival Manny Pacquiao the following year.
It went down as the highest-grossing fight in history, with the event selling five million pay-per-views, the most in the era.
Mayweather, as a result, pocketed a purse around $400 million in total, and he wasn’t done yet.
In his final fight before retirement, he earned his 50-0 perfect record by beating UFC star Conor McGregor who crossed over to the boxing ring.
He again pocketed a purse which totalled around $300m, a remarkable curtain closer on his sensational legacy.

The veteran has since continued to fight in mega-money exhibition fights, bringing in purses beyond his heyday.
He has also continued to spend big, recently purchasing a world’s first luxury watch collection worth $1m.
