Mike Tyson is sadly one of the best examples of a man who earned a lot of money and then spent it all away. The man with the powerful fists declared bankruptcy in 2003 and many of his purchases have hit the public marketplace. He was the first owner of this 1999 Bentley Continental SC now
up for sale on Auto Trader. The car is one of only 73 ever built and cost over $500,000 when it first came out. Tyson's Continental SC has lamb's wool rugs, a phone and a removable glass roof. It is listed at £135,000 (around $272,000). Wow, even with all that depreciation that is still one very expensive car.

Tyson had no class in or out of the ring, but this car is all class.

Mike Tyson was giving away cars like these to cops and any one he encounter in Harlem,NY, in his prime. Robin Given and her mother drugged him crazy. And he though it was love. No, it was the drugs your honor..

Mike put himself in a position that will cause him to constantly look back and wonder why in the hell he blew ALL that money he made. As much as he studied boxers of the past, he had to know that his high-energy style would limit the duration of his career. But like so many athletes, he lived as though he would never get old and his talent would never fade away.
It's sad. Mike had a lot of good qualities.

i use to own a ghost town in N.M. and had people drop in on me from off the road. Lazy rascals never did anything to help the project, just took and took some more. Anyway, had 2 real serious weirdos come in and they did things like swear there were spirits in certain buildings that were telling them things, just real loco's. But one apparently was from a fairly rich family because they left, David found out his dad has passed away years before and he didn't even know it from being on the road, and didn't know his dad had left him a couple hundred thousand. He got it and in 6 months it was gone. He and the other weirdo bought motor homes, AK47's, you name it and when he sprayed a yard with the AK47 one day of course he was arrested and it just went from bad to worse and as I said, the money was gone in about 6 months. Sad, sad.

Too bad Cus D'Amato didn't live longer......Mike would no doubt have ended up being a much better person and lived a much happier life!

enough said! don king ruined him. he would've even been much better off staying in catskill ny with Keven Rooney. Kevin and Gus helped that guy , made him. I watched the grandmother that mike tyson lived with as a child grow in poverty, renting a portable washer and dryer from me around 1995 barely able to make payments while she cared for his cousins. That was his prime. couldn't even help a loved one who raised him... he made his bed! let him sleep in it!

How can anyone feel for the animal who rapes a women and doesn't know why he has to go to jail!! Someone that thinks money can get him anything!! Someone who has a 3rd grade education that knows only how to harm another!! He should only be remembered as a crimial!!
chicagosplpro8 Mar 12th 2008 6:12PM
to bob! the comment you made about tyson having only a third grade education means nothing these days!!also look at how you spell criminal "crimial" i really dont think you are one to talk down on someones education!

different people make different mistakes and i am quite sure you are far from perfect so who are you to talk down to someone elses mishaps. the difference is we do not know your mistakes because they wasn't made public Mr. can't spell criminal.

Pity for Mike Tyson??? HELL NO!!, except for the fact that his father walked out when Mike was 2 years old. As a matter of fact, I don't think Mike is worthy of even making the news anymore. I hope the person who buys his car ends up selling it for more than it was worth when the convicted rapist & wife beater bought it.
