During his heydays, Mike Tyson was reportedly making more than $400 million. He blew his earnings on luxuries such as mansions, pets, and of course, cars. Unfortunately for him, he lost much of his fortune because of mismanagement and eventually had a car for sale auction. If you are a car junkie and would like to know more about his famed car collection, here are a few of his favorites:
1985 CADILLAC ELDORADO
Tyson owned a couple of Cadillacs, and the 1985 Cadillac Eldorado in the color gold was actually gifted to him when he won a championship belt. The 1985 Cadillac Eldorado is one of the last full-size coupes to go on sale and was a special car in its own right.

1985 CADILLAC SEVILLE
This sports car was another gift that the boxing superstar got from his promoter and just like the Eldorado, it was gold. The 1985 Cadillac Seville was a luxurious car and for someone like Tyson who came from a humble background, it was a great starter car.
1989 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-CLASS 560SL
The 1989 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 560SL was the first German car that Tyson bought and he shared it with Robin Givens, his then-wife. The car is a V12-fueled convertible and some even termed it as one of the most powerful SLs of the decade.

ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SPUR
As Tyson’s income began to increase, so did his appetite for luxury rides. The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur was synonymous with luxury in the nineties and it didn’t just catch Tyson’s, it was also owned by other celebrities during that time.
ROLLS-ROYCE CORNICHE
Just like the Silver Spur, the Rolls-Royce Corniche was popular amongst superstars in the nineties. The car had a drool-worthy exterior and interior and it was one of the most powerful convertibles at that time.
1995 FERRARI F50
The backstory behind this purchase is that Tyson added this sports car to his collection when he began making money again after his prison sentence. The 1995 Ferrari F50 was a mid-engined, range-topping car and it was one of his one expensive rides.
FERRARI 456 GT SPYDER
This car was bought as a package deal along with the Ferrari F50 by Tyson. The Ferrari 456 GT Spyder was one of the fastest Ferrari cars at that time and knowing Tyson’s love for the finer things in life, it’s not hard to imagine why he got this one. We get it, who doesn’t love a good Ferrari fleet?
1997 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL T
The 1997 Bentley Continental T was among of the most luxurious vehicles back in the nineties and offered a lot of horsepower as well as performance. Tyson was often spotted taking this car for a spin.
