Manny Pacquiao tops annual list of highest-paid boxers

In 2021 it looked like the boxer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 19) that Pacquiao is the highest-paid boxer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $60 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Filipino boxer-politician has an estimated net worth of $275 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Pacquiao Burger” chain) in Manila, a Football Team (the “Kibawe Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpacquiao - Philippines), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Manny) and a fashion line called “Manny Pacquiao Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Manny fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
