Tyson's podcast became the focus of attention as the former boxer said: "I always tell people they think a lot of money is gonna make them happy. They never had a lot of money before. When you have a lot of money, you can’t expect nobody to love you."

Tyson questioned people's beliefs about money, saying: "You believe you’re invisible when you have a lot of money, which isn’t true. That’s why I always say that money is a false sense of security.”
