Mike and Kiki met in the ’90s and married in 2009.

Mike Tyson is one of the best-known figures not only in boxing but in sports in general. The life and work of the former world heavyweight champion is in the public domain, from his brightest moments to his darkest. On the contrary, little is known about Lakiha “Kiki” Spicer, his wife of 15 years.

Tyson and Spicermet in the 1990s when she was 18 and he was 28. However, his then-manager, Don King, warned him not to get involved with the girl, the daughter of Shamsud-din Ali, a prominent Philadelphia religious leader and boxing fan.

The relationship between Tyson and Spicer began while he was still married to his second wife, Monica Turner. After the divorce, the couple had an on-and-off relationship until they finally married in 2009. Six months later, they welcomed their first daughter, Milan, and in 2011, they received their second, Morocco Elijah.

Kiki Spicer’s net worth

There is no consensus among the specialized media about Spicer’s net worth. Some websites, such as Essentially Sports, say that she owns a boutique and her net worth would range between $1-3 million.

Instead, Tuko assures that Spicer is dedicated only to her children and her house, although it also describes her as a socialite. According to the platform, Spicer’s net worth depends entirely on Mike Tyson, whose net worth is approximately $10 million.

Throughout his career, Tyson accumulated earnings of approximately $905 million between earnings from his fights and his multiple endorsements. However, in 2003, he declared bankruptcy after almost squandering his fortune.

Lakiha’s controversial life

Spicer is no stranger to controversy. In 2008, Lakiha served a six-month sentence in federal prison for fraud and conspiracy. Her parents, Shamsud-din and Faridah, as well as her brother Azheem Spicer, went to jail for the same case.

Milan Tyson was born a few months after Spicer was released from prison. Since then, Lakiha has kept a low profile. Her public appearances are limited to events where she accompanies her husband, and even her social media profiles are private.

Spicer values her privacy, as well as that of her family, in stark contrast to the spotlight that constantly surrounds Mike Tyson.
