Floyd Mayweather loves showing off his purchases and his new ‘toy’ – his second Gulfstream private jet – is no exception.
He treated fans – and haters – to a tour of ‘Air Mayweather 2’.
It certainly deserves a look.
The hard launch of his second private jet, known as the Air Mayweather 2, gives us an in-depth tour of his Gulfstream aircraft.
His defiant caption read: “I just copped/ bought another toy, but I play with this one in the sky.
“I’m going to continue to set the bar high while they continue to pray on my downfall. I’m going to stay on my grind. Either you hate it, or you are motivated.
“2 planes give them 2 more small reasons to hate!”
It boasts 12 premium leather seats, gold-plated cup holders, and plenty of custom touches.
Not only is the name ‘Mayweather’ etched along the fuselage, his monogram reading ‘TMT’ (The Money Team) features near the entrance and on the rear wing.
Aside from this, – and it turns out there’s a very good reason for this.
‘TMT’ also features in the embroidery of the seats and other interior upholstery.
His second post read: “Fresh out the paint shop, time to take a little trip overseas and pick up a bag!”
The exact cost of this new ‘toy’ has not been disclosed, but it’s speculated to be a multi-million dollar investment, comparable to a $50 million Gulfstream G650 purchased in 2014.
Check out the more on the here.
His first plane is primarily used for long-haul travel journeys to luxury destinations including Monte Carlo, Hong Kong, Bali, Fiji, and Tokyo.
The other ‘toys’ owned by Floyd Mayweather
Calling himself ‘The Best Ever’ – a nod to his large unbeaten record in the ring – the controversial former boxer loves to flaunt his extravagant purchases.
He recently gave a tour of his But perhaps the rarest car Floyd Mayweather has ever owned is the
One of the fastest rides on the planet, the hypercar’s 4.7-liter V8 produces a whopping 1,108 horsepower, good for 0-100 m/h in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 400km/h.
Only two units were ever produced, one of which made it to the US, where it lived in Floyd Mayweather’s garage until 201
“Music has always been part of our core at Apple, and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users in the way iPod did impacted more than just the music industry – it also redefined how music is discovered, listened to and shared,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice-president of worldwide marketing, at the time.
The original models—which can now be worth a lot of money—were designed as music players, but later versions could run numerous apps, meaning you could play games, watch videos, and even take photos.
And if reading all of this is making you miss your long-lost beloved iPod, then we’ve got some good news – because a company has created a case that can convert your Apple Watch into a ‘tinyPod’.
The teeny case allows you to scroll your existing Apple Watch apps – such as your music, emails, news, photos, podcasts, and maps – all from the palm of your hand, rather than on your wrist.
To really give it that iPod-feel, its even got a little wheel that works with your existing watch. Clever stuff.
The ‘tinyPod’ even comes with a physical scroll wheel
You might think that it would be best to just keep the windows on a passenger jet closed permanently, but cockpit windows have very practical purposes, mainly for when the plane is on the ground.
And it’s not just the Airbus A330: most commercial airliners will have at least one cockpit window that can be opened.
One reason for this is really simple – sometimes, the easiest form of communication is shouting out your window.
Before advanced communication systems were in place, pilots would deliver orders and chat to crew from the windows while parked.
Another use for these windows is as an alternative exit in case of emergency.
One lucky passenger even had their phone passed to them from the ground via the pilot on a 2022 Southwest Airlines flight.
Thankfully, cockpit windows have a mechanism that makes them impossible to open while the plane is pressurized.
The secret life of pilots
Functioning windows aren’t the only hidden gems commercial pilots have kept from us.

There are comfy beds, trapdoors beneath the cockpit, , and more, all concealed from view.
These features are especially valuable during long-haul flights, which can span an entire day.
While not hotel room-level roomy, they make sure crew members are comfier than the passengers below, trying to sleep in their seats.
And then there’s the which looks like a futuristic spaceship.
Considering the unbelievably intense training these pilots have to go through, it seems only fair they have some special treats just for them.
