Paris Fury won’t quit Asda shops despite £118m payday, but is eyeing up WAG move
SHE’S the mum-of-seven married to the man who is set to become Britain’s richest sportsman in history.
But despite enjoying astronomical wealth, Paris Fury is famous for her down-to-earth attitude, bargain hunting antics and relatable anecdotes about what life is like with a big brood of kids.
And surprisingly, her heavyweight husband Tyson, 35, has revealed that Paris, 34, is somewhat blissfully unaware of the details surrounding the couple’s eye-watering fortune – which is now set to double.
Some might question the claim but the Gypsy King said in the family’s Netflix series, At Home With The Furys, how he “never discusses his personal business with Paris”.
“Paris doesn’t know how much we’ve got in our bank accounts, she doesn’t know what properties we own, she doesn’t know what assets we own,” he explained.
“She knows about Chanel handbags, she knows about looking nice.
“I am a protector and a provider – that’s my job.”
Tyson’s earnings reached an eye-watering £118 million last year.
The heavyweight boxer earned a staggering £573,000 a week and his assets went from £54 million to £118 million on the back of sponsorship deals and mega-fights, according to new figures documented by Companies House.
The most recent figures don’t include his £85 million clash in Saudi Arabia with Oleksandr Usyk, which means his fortune is set to climb to more than £250 million.
And while Paris may not know the exact sums, she’s sure to benefit from a bumper year.
That includes a new mansion in Cheshire, luxury additions to her extensive Chanel handbag collection and a number of first-class flights to luxury destinations.
Styal-ish home luxuries
The couple have come a long way because just 15 years ago, they were having a £35,000 Gypsy-style one-bedroom cabin built on the site of Tyson’s father’s scrap yard.
Fast forward to today and they now live in a £1.7 million mansion in Morecambe, Lancs.
But they’ve been eyeing up a £4 million forever home in the affluent village of Styal in Cheshire, an area which falls into the ‘Golden Triangle’, an area populated by footballers and celebrities.
Tyson and Paris are hoping to transform a rundown car park into a luxury “Grand Designs” mansion with a swimming pool, hot tub and cinema.
Paris and Tyson Fury’s Love Story
Fabulous delves into how Paris and Tyson first met, plus when they tied the knot…
Tyson was raised in an Irish Traveller family in Wythenshawe, Manchester, while Paris was raised in a traditional traveller family in Doncaster, South Yorks.
The pair first met when she was 15-years-old at a mutual friend’s wedding.
They met again by chance at Paris’ 16th birthday and wed two years later in a traditional wedding in 2008.
The lovebirds tied the knot at St. Peter-in-Chains Catholic Church in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, and invited 300 guests to the special day.
Currently overgrown, it includes a grim-coloured pond and has become a dumping ground for used cars.
They wanted to demolish the main eight-bedroom dwelling and replace it with a six-bed house.
However, since proposing renovation plans in May 2023, the couple have faced a number of setbacks from disgruntled neighbours and they’ve faced wildlife issues.
Bats were discovered roosting in the loft which means they’ve had to give up on hopes of a total knockdown.

Instead, they now hope to extend the existing mansion home and install a basement music room, games area, breakfast and garden rooms and a cinema.
A further knock back came when locals claim the plans will have a “significant visual impact” on the picturesque area.
With over £250 million set to hit Tyson’s account, it’s likely to be only a matter of time before they get their dream home set in bricks and mortar.
Chanel in every shade
In At Home With The Furys, Tyson revealed that he’s the money behind Paris’ enviable designer handbag collection.
And he even revealed that when it’s a big payday for him, she gets another Chanel number added to the collection.
The blonde bombshell doesn’t leave the house without one of her many luxury accessories – and often has a classic Chanel Lambskin Flap Bag over her arm.
And her Chanel collection includes Flap Bags in every size and shade including black, white, green, pink, yellow, blue, red and gold.
With prices starting at £8,530 – and some hitting five figures – experts estimate that Paris’ total Chanel bag collection is worth an eye-watering £68,950.

Thanks to her social media posts, we know she’s also partial to Christian Dior and Fendi pieces.
But she’s a woman who earns money in her own right and back in August 2022, Paris stepped down from her husband’s company, Tyson Fury Ltd, and established her own solo business – harmoniously named Paris Fury Ltd – on the same day.
The busy mum raked in £178,480 in the 12 months to August last year – we wonder how much of that is spent on handbags?
From Paris to Milan
Paris is no stranger to a luxe holiday – both with her children and without.
Back in March, she jetted off to Saudi Arabia without the kids and enjoyed a jam-packed itinerary which included VIP sporting passes, shooting classes and visiting tourist attractions.
She travelled first class with her custom Louis Vuitton suitcase, worth £2,750, and a large black Chanel flap bag, estimated to be worth £4,000.
A few months earlier in December 2023, she ferried 17 members of her family to the same location.
The group dined at luxury restaurants, explored quaint towns and packed in parasailing.
Tyson and Paris already own a £6 million holiday home in the Spanish resort of Marbella and another two mansions in US fight capital Las Vegas.
More international homes could be on the cards as Tyson’s bank account begins to swell but home could well be where the heart is for the couple because they love a staycation – from luxury Yorkshire getaways to jollies in a forest lodge.
That’s Asda Tys
Despite her husband’s astronomical wages, Paris will never stop bargain hunting and doing her weekly shop in Asda.
She still goes to the same superstore she and Tyson were shopping in when they first got married 16 years ago.
They famously spent £140 on a recent trip, opting for bargain versions of chocolate spread and £1 ice lollies.
According to Paris, a down-to-earth attitude helps keep her children grounded – and she wants to set a humble example for them.
“None of my kids are really the type to say, ‘I want this, I want that’,” she revealed on the family’s Netflix series.
“Not to sound big-headed, but obviously, if I wanted to go tomorrow and shop out Selfridges’ floor, I could do.
You know I love a bargain… Asda has actually been Mother & Baby supermarket of the year for the seventh year running. I would’ve been one of them people voting

“But what am I gonna teach the kids doing that?
“To go and buy five designer handbags, 10 pairs of shoes, diamonds and pearls, what have the kids got to look forward to in life then?
“We don’t want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something.”
Tyson echoes the same values as his wife, and even proudly boasts about their humble lifestyle.
I still have my wife’s packed lunches and my imitation Crocs from Asda. I love my wife’s cooking

“I believe I have just signed the biggest deal in British boxing history,” he revealed in October last year.
“I am not allowed to talk about numbers but the bag is big, motherf***ing big.
“I still have my wife’s packed lunches and my imitation Crocs from Asda.
“I love my wife’s cooking – she has to pack my sandwiches for my packed lunches whenever I travel at home.”
