There is no doubt that Mike Tyson is one of the best boxers in history. He remains the youngest heavyweight world champion in history. He won this title when he was only 20 years old. He ended his professional career with a balance of 50-6, 44 KO. How much did he earn during his 20-year professional career? According to calculations, it was as much as 400 million dollars. However, it is no secret that Tyson's life was very turbulent, which led to the squandering of this fortune and bankruptcy.
Mike Tyson Makes Millions From Cannabis
However, after some time, Tyson began to earn more and more thanks to various collaborations and advertisements. This includes, among others, the Tyson 2.0 company, co-founded by the legendary boxer. What does this company do? Namely, the trade in… marijuana. This should not be particularly surprising, because Tyson himself has a weakness for this stimulant, and under its influence he went to fights with Andrzej Gołota in 2000.
In 2022, Tyson raised nine million dollars from investors to expand the business. Tyson 2.0 currently sells cannabis seeds, and from the obtained substances also produces food and carbonated drinks.
According to estimates, Tyson earns at least half a million dollars a month from growing and selling cannabis. “There is a deeper purpose to this business: to demystify the drug that has affected the lives of Tyson and millions of others,” we read in Forbes.
