• Anthony Joshua's net worth is estimated at between $280 million and $350 million AUD, following a career that has generated over $300 million USD in fight purses alone.
• His biggest single payday came in December 2025 when he stopped Jake Paul in the sixth round in Miami, with the total fight purse reported at approximately $184 million, split evenly between the two fighters.
• Outside the ring, Joshua holds a property portfolio worth a reported £150 million, including prime Mayfair real estate, and earns around $8 million USD annually from endorsements.
• He has publicly stated his goal is to become a billionaire, citing Floyd Mayweather's reported $1.1 billion USD career earnings as the benchmark.

Boxing legend Anthony Joshua is worth somewhere between $280 million and $350 million AUD, depending on who's counting. The Sunday Times Rich List pegged him at around £195 million (~$380M AUD) in 2025, before the Jake Paul fight added another substantial payday on top.

That's precisely what you'd expect from an Olympic gold medallist and two-time unified heavyweight boxing champion who has managed to fill Wembley Stadium twice and knock out a YouTuber on Netflix in front of a global audience.

The 36-year-old from Watford has earned over $300 million USD across his boxing career. And unlike a lot of fighters who blow through their earnings, Joshua has been smart about where it goes.

How Anthony Joshua Made His Money

Joshua's wealth comes from three main sources: fight purses, endorsements, and property investments. The fight purses are enormous. The endorsements are consistent. And the property? He owns a significant portfolio, including a commercial property on Bond Street in London.

Since turning professional in 2013, Joshua has commanded some of the biggest fight purses in boxing history. His rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia reportedly earned him $85 million USD for one night's work. That's his career-high single payday.

But the big purses started rolling in after he beat Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in 2017. That's the fight that changed everything for AJ.

That evening, Joshua walked away with £15 million GBP, plus a reputation as the most bankable heavyweight on the planet.

Anthony Joshua's Biggest Fight Purses

Here's a breakdown of Joshua's major paydays:

• Jake Paul (2025): $92-95 million USD
• Andy Ruiz Jr rematch (2019): $75-85 million USD
• Francis Ngannou (2024): $50 million USD
• Oleksandr Usyk rematch (2022): $44 million USD
• Andy Ruiz Jr first fight (2019): $25 million USD
• Alexander Povetkin (2018): $25 million USD
• Joseph Parker (2018): $22 million USD
• Wladimir Klitschko (2017): £15 million GBP
• Daniel Dubois (2024): Purse not fully disclosed
• Carlos Takam (2017): £10 million GBP

Total career earnings from boxing alone sit around $250 million USD, an impressive number that puts him in rare company alongside Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, and his British rival Tyson Fury.

And yet, that does not seem to be enough for him, as Joshua has said publicly that he wants to surpass Mayweather's reported $1.1 billion USD career earnings. "Being a millionaire is good, but you have to set your sights higher," he told GQ in 2024.

"The new school of thought is that I need to be a billionaire."

Big words. But when you've already banked over $300 million USD by 36, maybe not that unrealistic.

Endorsements

Joshua is one of the most marketable athletes in Britain. Clean image, articulate in interviews, looks good in a suit. In other words, sponsors love him.

His endorsement portfolio includes Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Lucozade, Jaguar Land Rover, Beats by Dre, EA Sports, and William Hill.

According to Forbes, that translates into additional earnings for around $8 million USD every year.

The Jaguar partnership is particularly fitting and Joshua has been photographed driving various Range Rovers and Jags over the years. Whether he actually drives them or just poses with them for the cameras is another question.

Property and Investments

This is where Joshua separates himself from most boxers and you can really see his business acumen - as he owns a property portfolio worth a reported £150 million.

His biggest acquisition was a mixed-use block on Bond Street in Mayfair, central London, which cost him over £25 million. He also dropped another £20 million on a nearby property in Dering Street.

Both are within walking distance of some of the most expensive real estate in the world. Smart locations and steady rental income: the kind of assets that keep paying long after the last bell rings.

He also owns two homes in North London worth a combined $8 million AUD. One of them he bought for his mother back in 2017.

That’s not all, since back in 2023, Joshua joined an investment group backing the Alpine Formula One team. He hasn't disclosed how much he put in, but it adds another revenue stream and connects him to one of the world's most exclusive sports.

He also has his own clothing line, though details on that are sparse.

How Does Joshua Compare to Other Boxers?

Joshua ranks among the highest-earning boxers of all time, and Celebrity Net Worth lists him seventh on their all-time richest boxers list.

For comparison:

• Floyd Mayweather: $1.1 billion USD+ career earnings
• Canelo Alvarez: $800 million USD+ career earnings
• Tyson Fury: $160 million USD net worth
• Jake Paul: estimated $150 million USD net worth

Joshua has out-earned Fury in career purses, despite Fury holding the lineal heavyweight title for longer. That's partly down to Joshua's willingness to fight in Saudi Arabia, where the money is absurd.

Joshua vs Paul - Judgement Day

Joshua's fight with Jake Paul on December 19, 2025 turned out to be exactly what most predicted: a short evening's work for the former champion. He stopped Paul in the sixth round at the Kaseya Center in Miami, broadcast live on Netflix, with Paul hospitalised afterwards having suffered a broken jaw.

The money was eye-watering. Reports put the total purse at approximately $184 million, with both fighters splitting it evenly at around $92 million each. If accurate, that would surpass even the Ruiz rematch as Joshua's biggest single payday.

The taxman had other ideas, though. With the fight taking place on US soil, Joshua faced a 37% federal tax rate, plus additional UK liability on top. Estimates put his net take-home at around 53 cents in the dollar, still somewhere north of $48 million for six rounds of work.
