Boxer Andre Berto Buys His Mother A Mansion

32-year-old Haitian boxer, Andre Berto, just bought his mother a $1,000,000 mansion in Winter Haven, Florida. Berto, who lives and trains in Florida and California, decided to surprise his mother with the gift, as a belated mothers day present. Berto stated on Instagram, "I know I am a day late, but I made a special trip to Florida to surprise my parents wit a new house for Mother's Day. Understand everything I do is for them. Super woman in the flesh this woman is my heart. Love u to death mom dukes Happy Belated Mothers Day.... #TheHarvest."   

Berto landed a big payday in his bout against boxer, Floyd Mayweather, who won the unanimous decision in 2015. Berto was paid a $4,000,000 purse for the Mayweather fight, which has led to other financial opportunities. Last month, Berto also scored a thrilling victory against fellow pugilist, Victor Ortiz, in a rematch that netted him $750,000.

Russian Billionaires Brawl On Television

Former KGB Spy Turned Billionaire Beats Down Another Guest

Alexander Lebedev, owner of the Evening Standard and Independent newspapers in London, England, came to blows with another Russian billionaire, Sergei Polonsky, on national television. They were among a group of panelists having a discussion about the economy, when things became heated. Lebedev punched Polonsky twice, like they were Mayweather and Ortiz. Can you imagine if the guys from Google and Facebook did that. Instead of throwing punches, they'd be throwing calculators and I-Pads.
