After hanging up his professional boxing gloves in 2017 with an undefeated record of 50 to 0, Floyd Mayweather cemented himself in the history books as one of the greatest boxers of all time—beating everyone from Manny Pacquiao to Oscar De La Hoya. While the Boxing Hall of Famer still steps into the ring from time to time, the Las Vegas local is now focused on supporting rising star athletes through Mayweather Promotions and bringing his fans top-shelf alcohol through Good Money. “I’m a businessman, always looking at smart business moves and investments,” says Mayweather. “Mayweather’s Le Bon Argent Champagne and Good Money Whisky is changing the liquor game.” Here, we toast the champ’s winning style.

Simon Kim grew up in Seoul, Korea before moving to Long Island, New York at 13, where he got his first taste of the hospitality industry as a busboy at his mother’s Tribeca restaurant. But it was in Las Vegas where the UNLV attendee’s career took off. A role at the MGM Grand led to him running famed Japanese restaurant Shibuya. In 2013, Kim opened his first Michelin-starred restaurant, Piora, and in 2017, he founded Gracious Hospitality Management. Two more Michelin-starred restaurants later— COTE Korean Steakhouse in New York City and COTE Miami—and the CEO is returning to his Las Vegas roots, debuting the first West Coast outpost of COTE in 2025 at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. “Opening a COTE in this entertainment epicenter feels like a triumphant homecoming,” says the visionary. “I can’t wait to bring this project to life next year.”
