Despite these setbacks, Tyson’s financial journey has been as striking as his boxing legacy. At the peak of his career, he amassed an estimated $430 million, equivalent to over $700 million today. His earnings stemmed from lucrative fight contracts and pay-per-view revenues, with paydays reaching as high as $103 million for his bout against Lennox Lewis in 2002. However, in 2003, Tyson shocked the world by declaring bankruptcy, citing debts of $23 million, a consequence of his extravagant lifestyle and alleged mismanagement of finances.
