Floyd Mayweather is the world's highest paid athlete, so it's no wonder he has some incredible cars. In fact, his personal driver says his collection is valued at $9 million -- and that's just in one of his garages. Ahead of Mayweather's big fight with Manny Pacquiao this weekend, we pick our favorite rides among the dozens of cars he owns. Check out the video at the end of the post for a complete look at the vehicles.
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Convertible
This car is "one of [Mayweather's] favorites," according to his driver. We can't blame him. The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse packs 1200 hp from its quad-turbo 8.0-liter W-16 engine, helping it hit 60 mph in less than 2.6 seconds. The model was considered the world's fastest production convertible when it hit 254.04 mph on a five-mile straight at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien proving grounds back in 2013. This car is worth an estimated $2.5 million. Oh, and let's not forget Mayweather also has two other Veyrons lying around in his garage.
Ferrari Enzo
Only 400 copies of the Enzo were built, and Mayweather is lucky to have a bright red 2003 model in his garage. This car boasts a carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb chassis as well as a V-12 engine with 660 hp. Production of this model ran from 2002 to 2004.
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
When we drove it back in 2010, we noted it was the fastest road-legal Ferrari ever built. A lot has changed since then, but that doesn't make the 599 any less special. We don't know if Mayweather opted for the six-speed manual or six-speed F1 sequential transmission, but we hope it has a third pedal. That's because the 599 was one of the last Ferrari models offered with a stick shift.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Limousine
Mayweather's white Rolls-Royce limousine is covered in "TMT" badges in recognition of his clothing and lifestyle brand, "The Money Team." Inside, the stretched Rolls features a starlight headliner and champagne glass cabinet.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe
It may only net 14 mpg, but the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe has plenty of features to make you forget that, including suicide doors, soft full-grain leather, and a 15-speaker sound system.
Rolls-Royce Ghost
But why stop at just two Rolls-Royce cars? Now all that's missing from Mayweather's collection is a Wraith (but who knows, maybe he has one of those too). The boxing champ may also want the upcoming Ghost-based convertible and all-wheel-drive "high-bodied car" (read: SUV) after this weekend's fight.
Lamborghini Aventador
This 691-hp supercar is the perfect complement to the number of Ferraris in Mayweather's garage. For 2016, the Aventador gets an SV variant that starts at $493,095 and packs a 6.5-liter V-12 hp with an upgraded 740 hp.
McLaren 650S
It may not be the most powerful car in Mayweather's lineup, but the the 650S is no slouch as supercars come. The carbon fiber-intensive coupe packs a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-8 with 641 horses. Its nimble handling, surprisingly plush ride, and silky smooth seven-speed DCT make it a truly enjoyable drive.
Ferrari 458 Spider
The 458 Spider is the first mid-rear-engine car with a retractable hard top. Not only that, but it packs up to 597 horses from its power-dense, naturally-aspirated 4.5-liter V-8 engine. Soon, it will be replaced by the Ferrari 488 GTB, which kicks things up a notch to 660 hp from a smaller 3.9-liter turbocharged powerplant.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van
Because it just wouldn't be right for Mayweather to own a minivan. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a more suitable choice, as it sits up to 12 passengers in its spacious cabin.
Mercedes-Benz GL
OK, maybe we could have guessed a G-Class would be parked prominently in his garage, but the GL looks almost as sharp. We think he probably opted for the GL63 AMG, which comes with a 5.5-liter AMG twin-turbo V-8 version and 550 hp.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W140)
Every garage should have a throwback car. Mayweather's collection includes a W140-chassis S-Class, a full-size sedan that was produced between 1991 and 1998. We assume there has to be a special story behind this ride.
Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
Earlier this year, Mayweather showcased a number of his cars on his Twitter page, including everything from his Bugattis to Lamborghinis and Porsches. But behind these cars was something even more surprising.
Gulfstream GIII
..Yes, it was a private jet. Estimated price: $2 million.
