Floyd Mayweather is not the type of grandpa who is content with giving Werther's Original candies and his grandson is reaping the benefits. The 43 year old granddad has recently gifted a $45,000 Rolex watch to Ketrell, the five-week-old son of his daughter, Yaya.
This, of course, begs the question - is Floyd looking to adopt some, potentially fully grown, grandchildren?
Her infant is living a lifestyle that people a thousand times his age get to dream of. At just over a month on this Earth, he is not only riding on private jets but is now the proud owner of a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust. While the the timepiece would be impressive if it was purchased from a display case, Grandpa Money Mayweather had the jewelry fully customized with a diamond encrusted band and face. Most estimates place the cost at around $45K, but such unique additions could easily push the present into the neighborhood of six-figures.
Yaya posted an image of her little boy's bling'd out wrist in her Instagram story, tagging her dad with a caption reading: "KJ's papa got him his first Rolex." The implication is that there is more to come and, for anyone who knows anything about Floyd, of course there's more to come.
Yaya has recently shared pictures on social media of Pop Pop Moneybags holding the five-week-old and shots from the ride he took aboard his private jet. While it has brought out a good amount of animosity from some in the comments section, for fans of the family, it's been a glimpse into how the family's extravagant tastes play into the pride that comes with a new addition.
KJ might not be able to tell time just yet, but when he can, he will have plenty to choose from, if he's anything like his undefeated grandpa. The 43 year-old boxing legend is well known for owning an elaborate watch collection, with one in particular clocking in at over $19 million. If the thought of such an expensive piece of jewelry sounds risky to wear in public, one only has to remember that Floyd is undefeated in the sport of punching people. Who's going to mug him?
While that particular piece might be the showcase of his collection, it's only part of a bigger picture. Money reportedly has 41 watches encased in diamonds as part of his decadent roster or timepieces. The estimated value of the entire collection is said to be in the area of $30 Million.
Now, the next generation of Mayweathers are already lining up to pick up the baton and keep running towards the riches. If KJ's first month on Earth is any indication, he has plenty of gold in his future and, if he's anything like his famous grandpa, that means he'll have it in his pocket, on his wrist, and around his waist.
