Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. is known for his flashy style, and one of the things he likes to flash is what is believed to be one of the most expensive and largest chains ever made by popular hip-hop jeweler Johnny Dang. He’s been seen wearing the massive chain to numerous basketball games and he also donned it at the most recent Super Bowl.
Chain of All Chains?
So what makes the chain so unique?
While definitive comparisons are unavailable to verify the claim, the chain crafted by Dang remains one of his masterpieces, sparking attention and uproar on the internet — even recently.
According to a 2023 report by TMZ, Mayweather’s Cuban chain is valued at $1 million and weighs nearly 6 pounds. Made of white gold, it is decorated with 8,500 diamonds totaling 300 carats, with the diamonds arranged to spell out “TMT,” symbolizing Mayweather’s team name, The Money Team.
His chain, worn at basketball games and Super Bowl LVIII, has caught social media’s attention for its oversized, sparkling appearance on camera. The chain’s ostentatious display only adds to the discussions about Mayweather’s fancy lifestyle and financial standing.
Mayweather Jr. has a well-documented history of purchasing high-value jewelry, including an $18 million diamond watch and numerous other multi-million dollar pieces.
Among his most notable acquisitions are a 30-carat diamond ring valued at $2.3 million, a diamond necklace and ring combo costing between $10 million to $15 million, a clustered diamond necklace made with 74 pure diamonds, and an $18 million diamond watch, according to 6ixice.
Mayweather’s jewelry collection is estimated to be valued between $10 million to $20 million, or possibly more, according to Ice Cartel.
Regardless of the rumors surrounding his financial situation, Mayweather’s net worth is estimated at $1.2 billion, according to The Sun, with the estimation placing him among an exclusive list of Black billionaire celebrities, including Jay-Z, Tiger Woods, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan.
Celebrity jeweler Dang has worked with various hip-hop artists and sportsmen alike, such as The Migos, Young Dolph, Travis Scott, and Ja Morant, according to Baller Alert, with his Houston company offering a wide range of diamond chains, and custom jewelry, including Cuban link chains, tennis chains, and other styles popular among celebrities.
Known as the “King of Bling,” Dang has carved out a significant role in the hip-hop industry, as reported by Forbes.
His custom jewelry creations, particularly the iconic diamond-encrusted grills worn by Nelly in 2005, catapulted his career, making him a favorite among top artists like Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, and Cardi B, among many others.
