Floyd Mayweather’s Grandson, Gaulden Jr., Embraced His Grandfather After Discovering His Lavish Yet Thoughtful Gift!
Former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather boasts an astronomical net worth of around $400-$450 million.
With such colossal wealth, it is no surprise that the legend would not show a grandeur gesture of love towards his loved ones.
However, what caught people’s attention was his extravagant Christmas gift to his beloved 3-year-old grandson.
Floyd Mayweather is the father of four children: Koraun, Iyanna, Zion, and Jirah.
He and his late ex-wife Josie Harris welcomed kids Koraun and Zion before daughter Jirah was born.
Floyd also has a daughter, Iyanna, with his former girlfriend, Melissa Brim.
Growing up, the athlete demonstrated his love through exorbitant presents and experiences, yet he attempted to teach excellent values in them.
“I just want my kids to always have manners. I want them to be respectful. I always stress to them, ‘Be positive.’ ”

However, Floyd had a complex relationship with his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. Although their love of boxing is the foundation of their relationship, personal and professional issues have occasionally caused tension.
Hence, this might be a reason for Floyd Jr. to spoil his children and grandchildren with immense love, understanding, and lavish gifts.
Jr lavished $20 million on his three-year-old grandson for Christmas, ensuring his financial security for the rest of his life.
Santa usually gifts most children toys, video games, and other gadgets on Christmas.
However, ‘Money’ Mayweather gave his daughter Iyanna’s kid, Kentrell Gaulden Jr., a spectacular $20 million skyscraper in New York City.
The busy property at 6th Avenue and 47th Street in Manhattan has office space, a diamond exchange, and a massive income-generating billboard. Therefore, Floyd’s luxurious gift assures his grandson’s financial security.
“I used to shop in the diamond exchange as a young adult. I never thought I would end up owning this important property at the entrance of 47th street…Through hard work and dedication anything is possible.”

Furthermore, Mayweather shared a video on Instagram of the moment Gaulden Jr discovered his Christmas gift.
“Buying prime real estate is the move.”

“He don’t know what it is but he will when he’s 14 and collecting his rent.”

Gaulden Jr smiled before embracing his grandfather. However, Mayweather’s journey to fame and money contrasts sharply with his early years.
He shared a one-bedroom apartment with six other cousins in New Jersey. In a 2007 interview with Mercury News, he detailed his upbringing:
“When I was about eight or nine, I lived in New Jersey with my mother and we were seven deep in one bedroom and sometimes we didn’t have electricity. When people see what I have now, they have no idea of where I came from and how I didn’t have anything growing up.”

Hence, Floyd’s outlandish gesture to his grandson originates from his desire to offer everything for his loved ones, given his humble beginnings.
While a $20 million skyscraper may appear exaggerated, Floyd has meticulously crafted this magnificent present for his grandson’s bright future and a foundation for long-term financial security.
