FLOYD MAYWEATHER, from a “handmade luxury lounge cube”, opined on his success.

“It’s funny,” he mused on social media, “when I was in high school, my grades were always mediocre. My focus wasn’t on getting the highest GPA in class. I was focused on getting my mother off of drugs and my father out of prison. This is my testimony! I wouldn’t be rated one of the top, most influential entertainers in the world if I never told you the road I had to travel for me to get to where I am. Now, I look around and all of my employees have Masters degrees and 4.0 GPA’s. It’s one thing to be book smart but, it’s another thing to have the intelligence and wisdom to surround yourself with a team of smart and driven people to help sustain your success!”

“Sitting in my handmade luxury lounge cube,” he continued, “counting my blessings; in the comfort of my custom private beach, laced with the softest sand you can find. Imported from Caladesi Island, exclusively for my multi-million dollar tropical estate. I have one of my executive chefs, putting together a gourmet spread made for a King. Ultimately, when you think about it… this isn’t bad for an $800,000,000 drop out!”
