Floyd Mayweather is a retired boxer. But while he actually boxed, he made a lot of money.

Mayweather wanted the world to know just how much money he made, showing off a $100 million check on Instagram.

Gotta love these backseat drivers so worried about another man’s legacy instead of trying to write their own. Ultimately, I will always have the last laugh. This is just one of my many checks, a cool $100,000,000.00 that I still have every dime of. Y’all still have to work however, I’m happily retired. At the end of the day, it’s them Benjamin Franklins that matter to me, so the jokes on you. I’ve made smart investments, sorry for those who thought that I couldn’t read, write, or count. Y’all call them watches, I call them time pieces. Y’all call them boats, I call them yachts. Y’all call them houses, I call them mansions. Y’all charter jets and we own jets. #TMT

Mayweather also called out everyone who has made fun of him. Many believe Mayweather doesn’t know how to read, but Mayweather himself claims he’s literate. 

Mayweather retired with a 49-0 record. He won 26 of his fights by knockout.
