    Tyson and Paris Fury have an estimated combined net worth over £70 million.
    The bulk of this comes from Tyson’s heavyweight boxing paydays, most recently earning £80 million from his clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
    Experts believe he has a whopping £300 million sitting in the bank, which is also thanks to the Fury family’s Netflix show and five book deals.
    But mum-of-seven Paris proved she can take on the world after stepping down from Tyson’s company in August 2022 to focus on her own projects. 
    In just one year of flying solo, she raked in £180,000 from book and PR deals, and social media ads.
    The couple live with their seven children in a £1.7 million mansion in Morecambe, Lancashire.

    Addressing the incident, though, Fury laughed it off.He said: “I got p***ed-up about two weeks ago and fell over on my face, didn’t do any damage though, as you can see I’m still good looking!“Apart from that I have lots of messages and phone calls from people asking me if I am okay.“I just had a drunken night out and suddenly everyone thinks you’re going to jump in front of a train.“Maybe, because of my past history, people are concerned.”Fury added on his time off: “I’ve just been chilling out, really.
