Forbes announced Floyd Mayweather was the highest paid athlete in the last year earlier this month, earning an eye-watering $300million (£210m).
And the pound-for-pound king has taken it with typically good grace. The 38-year-old was pictured standing in front of a display at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas to commemorate his huge earnings.
The exhibition shows the 'skim room' where mobsters would steal some of the cash in a casino counting room and reads '$300 million easy'.
Mayweather shared the picture of him posing, arms out stretched in celebration of his wealth on social media site Shots and wrote: 'Fobres, I'm just getting started this year.'
The undefeated American beat Manny Pacquiao in the Fight of the Century on May 2 and Forbes claim that he picked up a $100m cheque on the night without factoring in his cut from pay-per-view money.
Added to his earnings from his bout with Marcos Maidana in September 2014, Mayweather earned an incredible $285m in the ring, which was supplemented by a further $15m in endorsements.
