Tyson said he remains passionate about fragrances, particularly those produced by Swiss luxury perfume house AMAFFI. “You know what I still put a lot of money on? Fragrance,” Tyson said, adding that he owns several bottles worth approximately $50,000 in total. The luxury brand is known for its premium fragrances and elaborately designed bottles, with products listed on its website ranging from approximately $2,000 to $6,000. Tyson’s latest disclosure comes years after he experienced a dramatic financial downfall despite earning an estimated $400 million throughout his boxing career. His extravagant lifestyle included luxury cars, mansions and other expensive possessions. In 2003, Tyson filed for bankruptcy after reporting approximately $23 million in debt, following years of financial difficulties. However, the former world heavyweight champion has since worked to rebuild his wealth through business ventures, entertainment projects, sponsorships and public appearances. Reflecting on his past, Tyson said he has learned to appreciate the experiences that shaped his life, including those he once considered negative. He also revealed that he has now spent 10 years free from alcohol and cocaine.
