Conor McGregor Net Worth 2021: How Much Did McGregor Make ...

It is no surprise that Conor McGregor is keen on constantly building up his net worth after he rose to prominence in the UFC and put the sport on the map.

McGregor does not shy away from making the headlines, and his rise to fame could be characterised by him forcing his way into the mainstream media.

In recent years, however, the Notorious has turned his attention away from fighting and put a lot of work into his external projects, and it would seem that they have paid dividends.

McGregor vs Ronaldo

Despite McGregor now being sat comfortably atop the Forbes highest earning athlete list for 2021, the scenario wasn't the same five years ago.

In 2016, while preparing for his rematch fight against Nate Diaz, Cristiano Ronaldo visited McGregor at his gym and the pair exchanged some words about who would be the richest in years to come.

"You were number one on the Forbes list. I was like number 35 or something. I'll get up. Maybe next year I'll get you," McGregor told the Manchester United star.

"I don't think so," Ronaldo replied.

Five years later, McGregor can finally sit back and smile.
