American boxer and entrepreneur Floyd Mayweather stunned fans and the world at large when he showed up to watch a boxing match in a 1 million dollar hat as well as some other expensive bling draped around his neck.
That translates to Sh135.8 million Kenyan shillings for just a hat! Yes, people, you read it correctly.
Why is the hat worth acres of land and several luxury cars paired together? Well, the professional boxer didn't just have diamonds all around his neck for the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight that happened over the weekend it has now been revealed that he apparently had them on his head too!
The boxing legend's jeweler identified Jean Louis Shuki, professionally known as Shuki Diamonds revealed that the black "The Money Team (TMT)" designer cap that Floyd rocked to the match was super encrusted in gems and was worth over $1 MILLION!!!
According to TMZ sports, they caught up with Shuki Diamonds out in L.A. and he told them that he spent over a month making the blinged-out cap for Floyd Mayweather, and get this, it took him even longer than that to find the perfect "invisible diamonds" for it.
Shuki says the process to get the jewels on the "The Money Team" cap was a really strenuous effort explaining it took painstaking and tiring work to get the cap looking just right.
"It's a big process," Shuki said.
According to him, he had to make a mold first then sandblast it all, and then shine it so it'd be perfect for Floyd's head.
But this is the best part.... Mayweather didn't pay a penny for the million-dollar cap. The celebrity jeweler gave it to Mayweather a few weeks ago while the two were in Dubai.
And since the two are besties it was a gift to Floyd. Shuki let his months of work go free of charge.
When Floyd finally wore it out in public in the boxing match of the year the jeweler was filled with pride, Shuki said he appreciated it very much.
Now, he estimates if the black TMT cap was to ever hit the auction blocks it could sell for over $5 million.
"There's only one in the world, it has become historical -- it's Floyd Mayweather." The jeweler said.
