However, his extravagant lifestyle exhausted the money in a couple of years, filing for bankruptcy in 2003.
One of his most expensive hobbies was to purchase luxury vehicles
During his career, he paid no less than $4.5 million dollars only on this hobby.

So, the Golden Boy got himself a Cadillac Eldorado and shortly after he received a special gift from his trainer Jim Jacobs: a brand new Cadillac Seville.
In less than two years, Mike started to fight in Las Vegas and became a world’s WBC champion.
He earned millions of dollars and celebrated his 21st birthday with a brand new Rolls Royce Silver Spur worth $119.500.
After the Silver Spur, a $165.00 Roll-Royce Corniche seemed like an obvious choice
His love for Rolls-Royce continued with a $198.000 limo, received from his promoter Don King.

His final and most expensive purchase have to be the $500.000 Bentley Continental SC.
More Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s and Jaguar’s joined Tyson’s incredible collection.
Unfortunately for Mike, they were all sold after he filed for bankruptcy, in his efforts to pay his debts.
Tyson was forced to auction most of them.
