Floyd Mayweather isn’t one to pinch pennies.

The high-flying former professional boxer appropriately nicknamed Money reportedly plunked down a lot of dough for some art on Tuesday night, as per TMZ Sports.

The outlet reports that Mayweather dropped over $4 million for his growing collection, which now includes four Andy Warhols, plus a ton of watches and cars.

The following day, more culture: On Instagram stories, the 45-year-old Michigan native is seen stopping by Galerie Carole Kvasnevski’s booth at the Scope fair on Ocean Drive.

Mayweather was also seen looking at work by Justin Ebanda from @OutofAfrica gallery, posing with artist Charly Palmer, chatting with Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Muriu and sitting on “The Migrant,” by Ken Nwadiogbu. The showstopper is a giant sculpture that “activates more conversations about the various faces, stories, and conditions of migration,” according to the Nigerian-born, London-based artist.

After a few rounds of culture, it was time to kick back to take a break from the action. Mayweather is star of another video dancing by himself at Komodo Lounge in Brickell, inviting his fans to come and hang out with him.

“If you’re in Miami, come eat and party!”

We have to assume he’s buying?
