The only issue I have with this is the fact that he's likely the dumbest person to ever become a one percenter. At least he worked hard and earned it though, unlike Cardi B.

He earned every penny. Props to him. But it’s just Trashy to talk about your job or financial standing constantly. I know guys that LET YOU KNOW how much they make......and others that are basically Millionaires that don’t flaunt anything.
I’m happy for anyone that’s happy. But flaunting just rubs me wrong. JMO

Mayweather was a Trump supporter.

While I agree it is gauche keep in mind boxers, as well as other athletes, were some of the original 20th-century personal brand builders. It is the art of the myth of the persona. If anyone thinks Floyd paid retail for all his iced out Hublots and the Jacob and Co watch they are dead wrong. The flaunting of money actually makes them money as repugnant as it may be to some of us. Another great example of an early adopter of showing money as a means to build the personal brand is DJT. He built his brand in part by showing everyone that would watch how ludicrously opulent his lifestyle was. Despite the fact, Buffett can buy and sell him 25 times over Buffett is not a "brand" and about the only non-financial company that would pay a dime to be associated with him is McDonalds.
Make people think you have a Scrooge McDuck sized vault and they will PAY you to be associated with them.

Supercars are actually a pretty solid investment.

Mayweather was not a big money prize fighter when he was known as "Pretty Boy" Floyd. The "Money" persona put him over the top and built his brand. Despite what people want to believe, he's actually a fairly savvy businessman.

I've debated this here before, he absolutely is not dumb, he is illiterate which is dumb.
But the guy is one of the greatest business marketers of his time, he saw he was being taken advantage of by promoters and took their job from them by arranging everything himself with a team. Nobody seemed to think to do this before in the same way. He used Justin Bieber to get younger people to buy his PPV. That's not dumb.
He takes $100 million from all of us every time he fights because he is one of the most skilled fighters ever and he has a public persona that makes us hope his opponent is going to beat his face in.
ETA: He also allegedly beats women, so I'd rather see him get his arse kicked from this

While I doubt the OP's picture is his current stable (I didn't research it) the cars pictured are (almost) all serious depreciating assets.
Ferrari 12v models from that era drop like a stone. The 458s held good value when they were in production and the wait lists were huge but like modern V8 Ferraris they drop significantly when the new version comes to market. Highly optioned 911s like the Turbo S are notorious at depreciation, I know I buy them from the ones that take 80k hits in 2-3 years. There are too many Veyrons and outside MAYBE the GS if he bought them new at retail he lost over $500k per car in 3 years not counting their notoriously expensive maintenance. Outside the very limited models, Lamborghinis depreciate just like most other cars.
The best value in modern exotics is if you can buy V8 Ferraris from the dealer without a huge market adjustment (few people can) drive them for a year and sell them for a profit. Beyond that the best options are Porsche and Ferrari supercars that are always very limited as well as the coveted GT cars from Porsche.

The LaFerrari Aperta is the most recent one I can think of that continues to go up in value with no worry of depreciation, pretty sure one was auctioned a year ago for at least $7 million, they only made a few hundred

He has everything you don't, and you're talking shite about what he has?

Calculate business moves. It’s all part of his persona.
