Floyd Mayweather Jr. once splashed the cash on a Koenigsegg hypercar that was one of just two ever made.
The boxing legend – who has the nickname ‘Money’ for fairly obvious reasons – parted with a whopping $4,800,000 to get his hands on a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita.
With an estimated net worth of around $400 million, money is basically no object to ‘Money’.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is happy to splash his cash
From a $50 million private jet that’s like a flying palace to a $1.4 million diamond-encrusted watch, he’s happy to spend big to get what he wants.
It seems one of the things he wants is an epic car collection, which he’s been adding to over the years.
But even among such a high-end collection – stuffed with Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royce, and Ferraris – the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is a real gem.
For starters, it is one of the fastest cars ever made with a top speed of 400km/h (248mph).
The CCXR Trevita’s 4.7 liter V8 can produce 1,018 horsepower and 781lb-ft of torque and can hit 100km/h (62mph) in 3.1 seconds.
Only two Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita were ever made
What makes it all the more special is the fact that just two of the stunning hypercars were ever made.
The car gets its name from an abbreviation of Swedish words that translate into ‘three whites’.
It features totally unique, specially designed carbon weave bodywork.
“Prior to the Trevita, car manufacturers only had access to traditional black carbon fiber,” Koenigsegg explained.
“Koenigsegg developed a unique coated fiber solution for the Trevita program that transformed the fibers from black to a sparkling, silvery-white.
“When sunlight hits the Trevita, it sparkles as if millions of tiny white diamonds are infused inside the visible carbon fiber bodywork.” Sounds fancy.
Mayweather showed off the car in an Instagram post when he bought it back in 2015.
“My new 4.8 million dollar car,” he wrote.
“$4,800,000 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita supercar.
“Koenigsegg is an ultra boutique automobile manufacturer for the super-rich.
“Koenigsegg made only two Trevita for the world and this is the number two of two.”
How the other half live, eh?
