How Much is Mike Tyson Net Worth in 2025?
As of 2025, Mike Tyson’s estimated net worth is $10 Million. That number might sound sad, given the hundreds of millions he once hauled in, but for Tyson, it feels like hard-won stability after years of chaos.
Bankruptcy, wild spending (pigeons, cars, a gold bathtub), and some unforgettable headline drama he’s been through it all.
People still ask, curious as ever: How does someone lose $400 million and keep punching? “Easy,” Tyson admitted. “Bad decisions and a whole lot of fun.” Can’t help but respect the honesty, even if it’s a little wild.
Who is Mike Tyson?
Mike Tyson is a living legend born in Brooklyn, 1966, and transformed into the "Baddest Man on the Planet" right before everyone’s eyes.
Even as a child, Tyson was scrappy (not always in a good way), bouncing in and out of trouble, finding solace among the pigeons he raised on his New York rooftop.
There’s a story he’s told about getting into his first fight defending a pigeon of all things a kind of strange, poetic beginning to pure violence.
Dramatic. By 13, he weighed 200 pounds and had already been arrested 38 times (not a typo). He found his second family at the Catskill Boxing Club under legendary trainer Cus D’Amato.
D’Amato shaped Tyson into a force, turning raw anger and power into championship swagger. Tyson still calls him “the only father I really knew.”
Decades later, Tyson is part philosopher, part entrepreneur, part pop culture meme simultaneously intimidating and oddly gentle. His Instagram’s full of laughs, podcast wisdom, and sometimes weird product plugs that make fans smile and shake their heads at the same time.

Despite earning more in a night than most collect in lifetimes, Tyson burned through it spectacularly, finally declaring bankruptcy.
There’s a real anecdote: Tyson once insisted he spent $400,000 a year just on pigeons and exotic animals, and “millions more on parties.” No wonder the money vanished faster than one of his first-round KOs.
Mike Tyson Early Life
Mike Tyson’s early life was tough a stew of Brooklyn poverty, street fights, and heartbreak. Raised mostly by his mother, he drifted through the system until boxing gave him purpose.
There are playful stories of little Mike chasing pigeons across rooftops, defending them from bullies so fiercely that one fight led straight to his first taste of boxing glory.
At 14, he met Cus D’Amato, a crusty old trainer with a heart of gold and a belief in Tyson’s brutal talent. D’Amato made Tyson watch fight films, talk psychology, and train recklessly hard sometimes waking Mike from deep sleep to shadowbox in the hallway.
“I was a wild kid,” Tyson once laughed. “Cus taught me to control myself, turn rage into power.”
