Mike Tyson has been trending in searches and feeds for the past few days. The celebrated boxer fought YouTuber Jake Paul, and Netflix chose to stream the action live. The event marked the 58-year-old’s return to the in-ring action. What happened you ask? Both Tyson and Netflix crashed, and Jake Paul took a unanimous victory! Many of you’d remember Tyson as the Boxing champ who once owned a Yellow Lamborghini Super Diablo. He has always been into expensive fast cars, some of which are:
Rolls Royce Cullinan

Tyson owns a Black Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV, worth £300k. He has a special fondness for Rolls-Royce. The brand and its products are quite popular among celebs due to their stellar stature. He has owned a Corniche in the past and is known to possess a Ghost and Cullinan. The latter is the first-ever SUV from RR and owns huge respect and acceptance for its added practicality. Th Cullinan is powered by a 6.75L V12 that produces 563 bhp and 850 Nm.

The Corniche was a gift from his former promoter Don King, who also gifted him another Rolls Royce stretch limousine in 1988. The lim0 was worth £165,000.
Mercedes G Wagen
Tyson was recently seen in a Mercedes G Wagen. The G is particularly popular among sports stars- specifically footballers. Bukayo Saka and Neymar own the G. Different powertrains available on the SUV. However, Tyson’s G Class likely has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8 that churns out 577 hp and 850 Nm. 0-100 kph sprint is done in around 4.5 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (SL 560)
In the 90s, Tyson rose to huge fame and starting making serious showbiz money. He started attending Hollywood parties and made new famous and elite friends. The ‘baddest man on the planet’, as he was known then, was inspired by Tupac Shakur in his SL560 purchase, as the rapper owned one in White. Tyson owned a 1989 model.
Lamborghini Super Diablo Twin Turbo
Now the car that we remember him the most for- the Lamborghini Super Diablo Twin Turbo. This was the first ever Lamborghini that he bought with his money. He made the purchase after winning over Bruce Seldon in Vegas. It was an eye candy- especially in the Yellow shade. The Diablo is a precious collectable today. It is very difficult to find one even if you have a hefty pocket. Back in its day, it was a status symbol- it used to go vocal about the owner being a celeb or VIP.
The stock car had a 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine that produced 523 horsepower and 580 Nm. It had a five speed gearbox and AWD. However, Tyson hired a tuner and pumped up the output to a whopping 850 horsepower!It could then do the 0 to 97 kph sprint in just 3.2 seconds and the top speed rose to 357 kph.
Bentley Continental SC
With his bank swollen to a£23m, Tyson once bought a Bentley Continental SC, worth £380,000! He is said to have previously owned a Bentley Continental T as well. The SC was special for multiple reasons, the most important of which was that just 48 of them were ever manufactured.
Ferrari Duo: F50 and a 456 GT Spyder
After regaining his WBC title in 1995 by defeating Frank Bruno, Tyson bought not one, but TWO Ferraris of the time- F50 and a 456 GT Spyder. The Pininfarina factory produced just two 456 GT Spyders- the Sultan of Brunei owned one and the second belonged to Tyson. The F50 was powered by a 512 hp V12 engine and had a top speed of 325 km/h. The boxer later auctioned it off for $4.2 million.
He once crashed one of these Ferraris into a convenience store! He tried to reverse, thinking the gear selector is in reverse while it was actually in Drive. The car crashed and Tyson was arrested. He recalled in an interview later “My favourite arrest I would have to say is when I bought a Ferrari.”
Escalade
Tyson’s Instagram handle has a picture of him flexing a Cadillac Escalade, which we believe is his. It is common for celebrities and famous people to own a Cadillac SUV.
