Floyd Mayweather’s $18 Million Jacob & Co. Billionaire Watch Still Reigns Supreme

Boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather is known for many things — undefeated records, private jets, and unmatched luxury. But one of his most outrageous flexes to date? A timepiece that costs more than most mansions: the $18 million Jacob & Co. Billionaire Watch.

First unveiled in 2018, Mayweather’s watch instantly became one of the most Googled watches in history — and still holds that title today.


The Watch: Billionaire by Name, Billionaire by Build

Mayweather’s Billionaire Watch isn’t just flashy — it’s insane in terms of craftsmanship:

  • 239 emerald-cut diamonds totaling 260 carats

  • Individual stones: 3 carats each, all D color, IF clarity

  • Skeletonized dial powered by Jacob’s manual-wind tourbillon

  • Case and bracelet: custom-crafted in 18k white gold

  • One-of-one design, not available to the public

  • Value: $18,000,000+

The watch was customized specifically for Mayweather and remains one of the highest-value wristwatches ever worn publicly.


Why It Still Turns Heads

Mayweather has worn the Billionaire Watch courtside, in private jets, and in selfies — treating it like a daily driver despite its museum-tier value.

In doing so, he redefined what “everyday luxury” could mean and blurred the line between high jewelry and horology.


How the Diamond District Is Responding

Inspired by Mayweather’s flex, jewelers in the NYC Diamond District now offer:

  • Iced-out replica builds using lab grown emerald cuts

  • Tourbillon skeleton watches in aftermarket white gold

  • Fully custom bustdown watches with pave bracelets

  • Bespoke designs starting at $20K for collectors chasing the look

While the original Billionaire Watch is untouchable, the aesthetic lives on in high-end custom builds — especially for athletes, rappers, and watch collectors seeking that top-tier energy.
