The millionaire YouTuber hangs out with Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj and his Sneaker Talk series has featured Wiz Khalifa, Travis Scott and Mesut Ozil

Born Rashed Belhasa, he also collects luxury cars like Rolls-Royces, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and lives with his billionaire father in a house with its own exotic zoo

Influencer boxing has been making waves over the last two years. YouTubers such as Jake Paul, his brother Logan and KSI have all pulled in millions in pay-per-view (PPV) buys, earning as much as the sport’s highest paid performers.

Next to make headlines in the ring might be the Emirati rich kid Rashed Belhasa, more commonly known as Money Kicks, who turned 20 on January 5.

At a press conference earlier in January, 44-year-old boxing legend (and mad supercar collector) Floyd Mayweather revealed that he was in talks to fight Money Kicks at an exhibition match in October. With a win record of 50-0, Mayweather retired in 2016 as one of the greatest boxers of his generation. Since then he has continued to participate in exhibition matches, including a bout against Logan Paul last year which earned him US$10 million just for turning up, plus a reported 50 per cent of the pay-per view sales, worth another US$25 million.

Money Kicks responded to Mayweather via his Instagram confirming that he was up for the challenge. He only stepped into the ring for the first time six months ago and currently has a record of 2-0. Although his odds of winning don’t look the best, Money Kicks’ rise to celebrity status has been nothing short of incredible. Here’s how he’s earned his claims to online stardom.
