Floyd Mayweather Jr, one of the world’s highest paid athletes, likes to show people just how much money he has to play with.

The boxer, who according to Forbes earned $105 million (£68.8million) in 2014 alone from two fights, often takes to his Instagram account to show himself sat next to his piles of money, in bed with piles of money, posing with his luxury cars or showing himself being entertained by women.

This time, he uploaded a photo of himself stood in front of eight sports cars, collectively worth around £5.9 million (£3.9 million), laid out before his 14-passenger private jet.

He posted the image with the message: “Welcome to my toy world! Who wants to come out and play?” He then named each car pictured, which includes: two Bugatti Veyrons, a Bugatti Gran Sport, two Ferrari 458 Spiders, a Lamborghini Aventador, a Porsche 911 Turbo S, and a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.

Nicknamed “Money”, Mayweather is described as having “inspired” the luxury clothing brand called The Money Team, which the boxer is often wearing in the pictures he uploads.

Here are some examples of his other wealth-centred posts:

This is when Mayweather "wanted to go shopping in another state" and so decided to "take the G4 for a spin".

Whereas in this post Mayweather simply asked his followers to "help me out with a caption".
