Introduction

Conor McGregor is an Irish professional MMA fighter, entrepreneur, and investor with an estimated net worth of $200 Million.

McGregor is a former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight Champion and one of the few fighters to win titles in two separate weight divisions. Despite being an MMA fighter by trade, McGregor made most of his money through his boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather and his entrepreneurial endeavors with his Proper Twelve Irish whiskey. Because of this, his net worth exceeds that of any other professional MMA fighter.

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $100 million from the Floyd Mayweather fight
• Sold the remaining 51% stake of Proper Twelve Whiskey for $600 million
• Only MMA fighter in history to reach a nine-figure net worth

In 2013, after his UFC debut, Conor took home a tiny payday, plus a $60,000 bonus. However, his earnings per fight would quickly increase as his stardom grew, and within just a couple of years, he was earning millions. In 2015, McGregor fought three times, two of which were multi-million dollar paydays. The fight against Chad Mendes in July earned McGregor $3.3 million, and the record-breaking 13-second fight against Jose Aldo earned the Irishman a juicy $4.5 million.

In 2016, his fights against Nate Diaz and Chad Mendes would earn him another combined $12.4 million. By 2017, McGregor’s net worth was estimated to be $35 million. McGregor’s biggest payday came in August 2017, when he faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in his professional boxing debut. It was estimated that Conor earned over $100 million from the fight.

It’s unclear how much McGregor made from selling Proper Twelve in 2021. McGregor and his business partners sold their remaining 51% stake in the business for $600 million.

Early MMA Career

Conor’s career in mixed martial arts began when he was 18 and made his MMA debut. He won his first amateur fight by TKO against Kieran Campbell and was subsequently signed to the Irish Cage of Truth Promotions. This marked the beginning of his professional fighting career. McGregor fought professionally for five years before being offered a contract in the UFC.

UFC Career

In February 2013, Conor McGregor was officially signed to the UFC. At the time, he was only the second Irish fighter to sign with the organization, with his teammate and friend, Tom Egan, being the first.

In April 2013, McGregor made his UFC Featherweight debut against Marcus Brimage, winning by technical knockout in the 1st round and receiving his first “Knockout of the Night” bonus. During the post-fight speech, McGregor took the microphone and addressed Dana White with the now-famous quote: “Dana, 60 G’s baby!” After winning his debut, he received victories against his next four opponents: Max Holloway, Diego Brandao, Dustin Poirier, and Dennis Silver.

UFC Featherweight Championship

In 2015, the fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship belt between Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo was announced. The pair embarked on a 12-day world tour, conducting interviews leading up to the event. The UFC stated that this was the most heavily promoted fight in the organization’s 22-year history thus far.

Aldo ultimately withdrew from the fight due to a rib injury, leading to Conor McGregor fighting and defeating Chad Mendes for the UFC Interim Featherweight Championship belt. The fight for the Featherweight Championship between Aldo and McGregor was announced once again on August 10, 2015.

In December 2015, McGregor would knock out Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds (the fastest-ever knockout for a title bout), earning himself the UFC Featherweight Championship belt.

The Notorious suffered his first UFC loss in 2016 to Nate Diaz in the Welterweight division. After losing due to submission in the first fight, a rematch occurred just five months later, and McGregor avenged his loss via a majority decision.

UFC Lightweight Championship

In November 2016, McGregor beat Eddie Alvarez to win the UFC Lightweight Championship belt, marking the first time a fighter had simultaneously held belts in two divisions. After this moment, McGregor’s career would start to take a downturn. Conor took time away from the sport to have his first child, and due to his inactivity within the division, he was stripped of his Featherweight Championship belt.

In 2018, McGregor was again stripped of the Lightweight Championship belt due to inactivity. Since then, his career in the UFC has been relatively sporadic, marked by losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier, as well as a single win over Donald Cerrone.

McGregor was anticipated to return to the UFC in 2024 to face veteran Michael Chandler in July 2024, but the fight had been suspended yet again due to an injury.

Professional Boxing Debut

In 2017, McGregor announced his professional boxing debut against the undefeated Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr. The fight took place on August 26, 2017, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. It was reported that Conor McGregor would receive a guaranteed $30 million for the fight, while Floyd Mayweather would receive $100 million. McGregor lost by TKO in round 10. However, the event was so successful that he earned an estimated $130 million from the fight.

Proper No. Twelve

In September 2018, Conor McGregor launched his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey, named after the childhood neighborhood he grew up in. In 2021, a deal was struck for McGregor and his business partners to sell their 51% majority stake in the company to Proximo Spirits, which already owned the other 49%.

The deal was estimated to be worth $600 million, making McGregor even richer overnight. Finalizing the agreement means Conor McGregor no longer owns a stake in the Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey brand.
