Floyd 'Money' Mayweather has lived up to his nickname by this week purchasing a car for $7.4 million dollars.

In the big picture, $7.4 million is small change to Floyd Mayweather, who made over $200 million for his welterweight title fight against Manny Pacquaio earlier this year and is the highest paid sportsman in the world.

That's why he was able to drop that eye-popping wad on a new supercar -- actually a hypercar, according to Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg.

Proving once again that he is no penny-pincher, the Money Man took to Instagram on Monday to tell the world.

Make no mistake - Mayweather's latest addition - the Koenigsegg Trevita - is no super-car. It's a $6.7 million 'hyper-car'.

According to the Koenigsegg website, the 'Diamond on Wheels' boasts "a visible carbon weave bodywork renowned around the globe for its uniqueness and perfection."

An abbreviation that translates to "three whites," the Trevita sparkles in the sunlight "as if millions of tiny white diamonds are infused inside the visible carbon fibre bodywork".

Despite a 5-year warranty, the controversial figure reportedly remains cautious over taking his new baby out in public. TMZ revealed on Tuesday morning that Mayweather had taken his new ride for a cruise to 'Fatburger' before beating a hasty retreat.

The entertainment website reports that he "popped the hood" to show onlookers the engine, but then called in a flatbed truck to safely transport this week's prized possession back to his mansion.
