Conor McGregor's Net Worth

Conor “Notorious” McGregor, the Irish MMA superstar and entrepreneur, has transformed his combat sports success into a financial empire. Known for his quick wit, flashy lifestyle, and undeniable talent, McGregor’s achievements in the octagon—like becoming the first UFC fighter to hold titles in two weight divisions—have earned him millions. But his earning power doesn’t stop there. McGregor has diversified his income through numerous business ventures, and his recent foray into acting with the movie "Roadhouse." As his fighting career evolves, McGregor could be gearing up for a new chapter as a Hollywood star. In this article, we'll explore how his multifaceted career has made him one of the wealthiest athletes in the world.

What Is Conor McGregor’s Net Worth?

As of the third quarter in 2024, Conor McGregor has a net worth of $200 million. 

McGregor’s wealth primarily stems from his illustrious combat sports career and successful business ventures. 

When it comes to the UFC, Conor is the highest-paid fighter of all time for the promotion, having earned $39.3 million from his fights. Keep in mind that this doesn’t include Pay-Per-View earnings for each of his fights. 
 

His biggest payday in the UFC was from UFC 229 when he fought against Khabib Nurmagomedov. He had a base salary of $2.9 million for the fight but walked away with $28.4 million after getting $25.5 million from PPV earnings.

Conor also earned $85 million from his blockbuster fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2017, which is almost thrice what he earned from his UFC 229 payday.

Surprisingly, his biggest paycheck didn't come from either his time inside the octagon or the ring; it came from the sale of his whiskey brand Proper No. Twelve to Proximo Spirits. Proximo Spirits paid around $600 million for the majority stake that Conor and his business partners had in the company. Conor reportedly earned around $150 million from the sale. This helped him reach the top of the Forbes highest-paid athletes in 2021, a list he had wanted to top for a few years.

Conor recently also made his Hollywood debut, in the reboot of "Road House” alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. While it's not publicly known how much McGregor exactly made from "Road House”, he did say that he was “the highest-paid, first-time actor of all time” during an appearance at “Good Morning Britain”. Considering the fact that the previous highest-paid debutant actor was Dwayne Johnson and he got paid $5.5 million for “The Mummy”, it's safe to say that Conor must have made more than $5.5 million.

What is Conor McGregor's Claim to Fame?

Conor's claim to fame lies in his meteoric rise within the UFC, where he frequently made history:

• 13-Second Knockout of José Aldo: Although Conor was pretty well-known in the UFC before 2015, he gained global recognition that year after he knocked out José Aldo in just 13 seconds at UFC 194 to become the UFC Featherweight Champion. Not only did Conor break Aldo’s 18-fight win streak, but he also broke the record for the fastest knockout in a UFC title fight.

• First Simultaneous Two-Division UFC Champion: In 2016, McGregor would again make history by defeating Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight classes (Featherweight and Lightweight) simultaneously.

• Sale of Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey: Conor sold his majority stake that him and his partners had in the company in 2021 for $600 million. Conor ended up earning $150 million from the sale and the title of the highest-paid athlete in 2021.
