Floyd Mayweather's $1 Billion Career, a $105,000 Unpaid Jet Bill, and a Growing List of Lawsuits

Jet Set Aircraft is suing Mayweather over an alleged unpaid charter flight to Turks and Caicos — just the latest in a cascade of financial and legal trouble for the boxing legend.

Floyd Mayweather has been sued again, and this time the bill is for a private jet he allegedly never paid for.

According to AllHipHop, Jet Set Aircraft filed suit Friday in Los Angeles County against Mayweather, his jewelry consultant Jona Rechnitz, and several other defendants over an alleged $105,690 unpaid charter flight to Turks and Caicos that took place in September 2025. The company is seeking the full amount plus punitive damages.

The suit alleges that Rechnitz was aware Mayweather had a pattern of taking goods and services without paying for them.

The Bigger Financial Picture

The jet lawsuit is the latest addition to a cascade of legal and financial problems that have trailed Mayweather throughout 2026. The IRS filed a $7.3 million lien against him in March for unpaid federal taxes covering 2018 and 2023, per Black Enterprise. In February, he was sued three separate times over unpaid rent and jewelry bills totaling millions, including a $1.4 million claim from a Miami jeweler who alleges Mayweather picked up 26 luxury watches and 15 gold Cuban link chains and only paid $300,000 of the bill.

He is also facing a $330,000 lawsuit from his New York City luxury condo landlord for unpaid rent dating back to July 2025, despite having signed the lease in December 2024. Meanwhile, he reportedly sold his private jet, his Beverly Hills mansion, and his Miami mansion to raise cash.

The Irony Is Not Lost on Anyone

While the lawsuits mounted, Mayweather continued posting on Instagram. One post showed him sitting on a private jet surrounded by stacks of cash, captioned: "I just be minding my business."

Mayweather has denied the financial difficulty narrative, filing a $340 million lawsuit against Showtime Networks and a separate defamation suit against Business Insider, claiming that hundreds of millions from his career earnings were diverted by his former manager Al Haymon into third-party accounts. Showtime has called the claims baseless.

Mayweather has not publicly responded to the jet lawsuit. He is currently planning exhibition fights against Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao as he attempts to recoup income.
