What is David Haye’s net worth?
It’s been reported that the boxing star is worth a cool $20 million.
Haye majorly boosted his bank balance thanks to a comeback fight with Joe Fournier back in 2021, where he won his bout with ease despite not fighting since 2018.

He revealed he was paid more for the Fournier fight than for his final bout against Tony Bellew. He told IFL TV: "It’s crazy, it's more than I got for the Bellew one. It’s crazy dough.
"You have to sacrifice, you’ve gotta go to bed at a certain time, you’ve gotta cancel all of your other arrangements, put all of your other business on hold.
"That’s what I do when I’m training for a fight, everything gets put on the back burner.
"I’d only do that for PPV money, good PPV money, and that’s what he brought to the table."
Reports claimed the star received around £4 million each for the fight.
Speaking beforehand, his opponent Fournier said: "It's a huge package financially and one we couldn't turn down.
"It could be worth up to $6m (£4.3m) to me."
Not bad for a night’s work!
He also runs his own TV production company, Hayemaker Productions, and created a series called David Haye Versus.
This is all in addition to the usual sponsorships and endorsements which will bring the cash rolling in.
He also regularly appears as an expert at other fights and offers his thoughts to sports broadcasters.
A family man, Haye often shares pictures and videos of his kids, and showed them all climbing into a convertible sports car as they all wanted to go to a boxing match for the first time.
He also shares snaps from lavish holidays in Costa Rica, and posts about his new model girlfriend who is 11 years his junior.
