Mike Tyson’s financial skills have left much to be desired in the past, after he declared bankruptcy in 2003 after running out of the millions of dollars he earned throughout his boxing career.
After that, Iron Mike gradually regained his fortune with better decisions, and despite his past experience, the former world champion has already spent a good part of the $20 million he earned from his fight against Jake Paul in November 2024.
Mike Tyson’s excessive new spending
Some reports say that Tyson bought a mega mansion worth $13 million in Florida, as well as a nearby plot of land at a local airstrip.
Sources indicate that the property is a 12,286-square-foot oceanfront estate with six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms in the exclusive private community of Tierra del Ray Estates. The property was originally listed at $17 million when it was under construction.
It is a mansion completed in late 2024, and property records indicate that Tyson and his wife closed the deal on January 9, 2025. The house reportedly boasts a host of amenities, including a one-acre private bass pond, ideal for fishing. In addition, the house has a 24-metre swimming pool, a spa and a separate guest house.
If the five bedrooms, guest house and extensive amenities weren’t impressive enough, the property also features a recently renovated barn, with air conditioning and hurricane-resistant windows.
Other amenities include a home theater, gym, hair salon, kitchen, wine cellar and an extra-deep four-car garage.
Despite the luxuries, Tyson had to pay more than $13 million: the closing costs, which according to the sales notes must be assumed by the buyer. However, considering that the property was listed for $17 million, Tyson seems to have gotten a good deal.
Iron Mike and his entrepreneurial side
Tyson takes on a new role as CEO of Carma HoldCo, the Las Vegas-based parent company responsible for the Tyson 2.0, Ric Flair Drip and Evol by Future cannabis brands.
This represents an important change for both the company and Tyson himself, who has long expressed an interest in greater leadership.
Tyson called the position “a responsibility I take very seriously”, and added that he is fully committed to staying true to the company’s roots and expanding its reach.
Tyson, a renowned cannabis advocate, launched Tyson 2.0 in 2021 and subsequently partnered with former rival Evander Holyfield to form Carma Holdings.
The duo launched the edibles “Holy Ears”, which renewed interest in cannabis products with a personal touch.
Tyson’s appointment as CEO marks the beginning of a new era for Carma HoldCo, which merges wellness, entertainment and cultural storytelling under the leadership of one of boxing’s most iconic figures.
