Introduction

As of March 2023, Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated to be only $10 Million.

Mike Tyson is an American former professional boxer, who had a successful 20-year career within the sport. Despite a few ups and downs along the way.

Tyson was the undisputed world heavyweight champion, and still holds the record as the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title at 20 years, 4 months, and 22 days old.

Back in the day, he had accrued over $300 million dollars throughout his career but ended up losing it all.

 

Early Life

Mike Tyson was born on the 30th June 1966, in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. He had two siblings, Rodney and Denise; however, his sister passed away from a heart attack at only 24 years old.

Although, Tyson’s biological father is listed as “Purcell Tyson”, Mike saw his father figure as Jimmy Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick was from Grier Town, North Carolina, and one of the neighborhood’s top baseball players. He was quite a gambler and hung out in areas you’d expect someone of that nature to be in.

Kirkpatrick abandoned the family later on, and Tyson’s mother died when he was only 16 years old. Which left him in the care of his boxing manager Cus D’Amato.

Throughout his childhood, Tyson lived in and around high-crime neighborhoods. He’s mentioned in a past interview that his first fight was with a bigger youth, who had pulled the head off one of his pigeons.

Tyson was regularly caught committing crimes and had already been arrested 38 times by age 13. He ended up at the Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown, and later dropped out of high school.

 

Career

Mike Tyson's Career

Tyson was 18 years old when he made his professional debut in boxing. Prior to that, he’d competed as an amateur in the Junior Olympics.

He quickly grew to become the champion, after winning 26 of his first 28 fights by either KO or TKO. For a long time, people thought Tyson was unbeatable. That was, until Buster Douglas came along. You’ve probably heard Douglas’ story about his mother passing away before the fight, after telling everyone her son was going to beat Mike Tyson.

Douglas managed to last more rounds than anybody else had ever gone to with Tyson; and after reaching that point, realized that Tyson began to lose energy and stamina rapidly after the 5 or 6th round.

Tyson was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, and the only heavyweight to unify them successively. He is still considered, to this day, one of the best boxers of all time.

However, his reputation was very much stained after being sentenced to prison for 6 years, after being convicted of rape. He tried to make a comeback after his prison sentence, but it was short-lived.

Mike Tyson’s net worth, once upon a time, was $300 million. After splashing the cash, and suffering from the consequences of some of his actions; Mike Tyson’s net worth is now only $10 Million.

3 Keys to Success from Mike Tyson

So what can we learn about success from Mike Tyson? Here are 3 keys to success, that we featured in our article on Mike Tyson’s best lessons:

 

1. It Starts With Your Mindset

You may not have the skill at the moment to succeed with your goals, but as long as you have the right mindset, eventually you will develop the level of skill needed to achieve that success.

 

2. Be Willing to Work Hard

It’s very easy to give into the temptation of skipping something one day; training, extra hours of work, studying and such.

Tyson would not give in to any temptations that would stop him from putting in the extra work needed. Whilst you’re out partying and goofing off, someone else out there is working hard.

 

3. Don’t Just Dream, Commit to your Dream

It’s very easy to have a desire for something, or your own dream. All it takes is a little bit of imagination. Nearly everyone has some sort of end goal or dream, but half of them aren’t committed to working towards it.

  1. Mike Tyson was my hero of the 80 s My cousin fought against Mike Tyson in 1999 and lost in 5 th round Tyson still one of the best heavyweights ever

  2. $3million is alot of money. I would like to have a net worth of $3million…unless I had $300million and blew $297million to get there. It’s all a matter of perspective.

  3. Mike lost most of his money to drinking a lot, Fines for bullying people, Most to women,Taxatiom And poor management.

  4. $3 million dollars is a far cry from $300 million, but it is still a lot of money. I am sure he can easily make plenty of money now just by making a few appearances.
    During his early career his cover up style made him hard to to hit. He then started leaving himself open and just slugging it out.
    He was incredibly intimidating how he would rush his opponent and just start pounding away at the bell.
    I never hear about him in the news which is a good thing. He has certainly had an interesting life.

  5. Sad what happens to many of these star athletes, many of whom come from very humble beginnings. They get taken advantage of by friends, lawyers, agents, and promotors ( like Don King). 3 million is not a lot of money, especially for a top notch athlete. Unfortunately, Mike caused a lot of his own financial problems too by getting trouble with the law, and at least one divorce.

  6. Tyson was my hero,his downfall was bad management,bad choices in friends and relatinships,hangers on who Bless Tyson dry,. Eddie Murphy told Mike to dump the gold digger bitch,But he didn’t teke notice? Led to his Downfall?he’s still the Greatist,☺️

  7. I believe great wealth comes with great responsibility to others. What has he done for the betterment of others?

  8. Mike starting to understand Islam,there’s no money value on that.It will Never Ever Ever Ever be another boxer like Mike.History will attest to that.A living legend🦾
