Floyd Mayweather made at least $220 million off his fight against Manny Pacquiao in May, so forgive the man if he wants to spend a little money on a new car. And by “a little money” we mean “a small island nation’s GDP.”
Forbes’ highest-paid athlete of 2015 recently spent nearly $5 million on a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita. One reason the price tag is so high? There are only two of these cars in existence.
