Conor McGregor Shares Staggering Net Worth as UFC’s Biggest-Ever Star
As he sat comfortably in a recent YouTube interview, professional mixed martial artist and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) icon, Conor McGregor unabashedly revealed his current estimated worth. Unlike the average person dealing with economic crisis realities, McGregor is far from worrying about the cost of a pot noodle for dinner.
Conor McGregor’s Fortune Revealed
In this intriguing piece of discourse on The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 on UFC’s YouTube channel, Megan Olivi questioned how it felt to rank impressively high on Sportico‘s 50 Highest-Paid Athletes of All Time list. To this question, the former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion casually admitted that he stood at the 33rd rank, which he considered motivating and a sign due to his belief in angel number 33.
McGregor tipped his hat to Michael Jordan who held the top spot thanks to his brand earnings. In stark comparison to him though, Conor McGregor had previously appeared on the Forbes list at position 35 in 2022 but was dropped off by the next year. However, amongst celebrities of the year 2020, he claimed a commendable 53rd spot showing quite a range in his financial influence.
Climbing Toward a Billion
Sports fans around the world have long awaited a believable financial revelation. While Sportico‘s list indicated McGregor’s current net worth is around $615 million (inflation-adjusted), or $530 million non-inflation adjusted based on industry insiders’ conversations and historical estimates; there’s an impressive trump card. Two years ago, McGregor’s net worth was valued at approximately $200 million, which seems like peanuts considering the picture the Irish fighter draws for us now.
Not only has he managed an ambitious leap into figures thrice as high as before, McGregor himself speaking confidently that he is “closing in on a billion now,” weighing at about $650 million fully inclusive. “I would probably have to do my little check of that,” he added while anticipating progress up the affluent athlete’s list.
Conor McGregor ends by reflecting “So yeah, it’s good.” So, to sum up, life indeed seems more than just “good” for some.
