Floyd Mayweather Net Worth: Tops Forbes' 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities List with Manny Pacquiao, One Direction, Katy Perry [WATCH] Rihanna Duct Tape The Money Man's Mouth Shut At 2015 BET Awards

Rihanna was seen bearing some duct tape - among other bondage tools - at the BET Awards this year. Although the reason for bringing the supplies seems questionable, it probably came in handy when the "B-ch Better Have My Money" singer cut a piece of tape to shut Floyd Mayweather's mouth.

Fans are currently joking about the occurrence on their social media accounts, saying that Rihanna was probably the only person who could silence the talkative boxing legend.

In fact, the duct tape was probably an added accessory. Photos from the event reveal that Mayweather's hands were tied using a black and white bandana before the duct-taping action actually begins.

However, Hollywood Life speculates that the stint was probably Rihanna's way of promoting the music video of her new single. Rihanna actually debuted some clips of the "B-ch Better Have My Money" music video at the 2015 BET Awards.

 

Floyd Mayweather took home the belt after "The Fight of the Century" boxing match with Manny Pacquiao earlier this year. But this time around, Mayweather has another reason to celebrate: he took the top spot on Forbes' Top 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities.

In fact, the publication reports that Floyd Mayweather's net worth currently stands at $300 million. Majority of the total comes from his winnings from the May 2 brawl with Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao, who ranked second on the Forbes' Top 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities list, rings in a net worth of $160 million.

Musicians somehow found their place on the list too. Katy Perry ranked third with $135 million, while Taylor Swift took the eighth spot with $80 million. One Direction was also on the list with a $130 million worth - taking the fourth spot.
