What Is Conor McGregor’s Net Worth?

Despite entering the UFC with a legion of dedicated fans already, Conor McGregor first fought on the Facebook prelims on a UFC on Fuel TV event. He and his opponent Marcus Brimmage were set to make the same amount of money that night, $8k to show and $8k to win. Conor McGregor made quick work of Brimmage, though, earning him a $60k Knockout of the Night bonus and taking his pay up to $76k. It’s not the kind of money that retires you, but it is the kind that means you don’t have to be on social warfare, which is what Conor was collecting up until the week before the fight.

Conor’s contract money increased incrementally in his next couple of fights until he fought Dustin Poirier the first time around. For that fight, he made a total of $200k, split up into $75k show money, $75k win money, and a $50k bonus. Skipping forward slightly to fight Chad Mendes for an interim world title and to fight José Aldo to unify the belts, Conor made close to $600k both times.

His first million-dollar purse came when he moved up to Welterweight for the first Nate Diaz fight. He was guaranteed $1 million on the night. For his next four fights against Diaz, Eddie Alvarez, Khabib, and Cowboy, Conor was guaranteed a staggering $3 million. For his most recent rematch against Dustin Poirier, the Irishman made his biggest guaranteed money in MMA to date, at $5 million. Of course, none of these include the millions he certainly made off of his share of the pay-per-views.

MMA aside, we all know that Conor’s biggest fight purse came from his one and only professional boxing match. Not including sponsorships and PPV points, Conor was guaranteed $30 million for that night’s work against Floyd Mayweather. It’s 30x more than most fighters even dream about making.

In 2018, Conor McGregor entered the alcohol business and founded Irish whiskey distiller Proper No. 12. It was a big talking point in the lead-up to his fight with Nurmagomedov because he was drinking it at the infamous pre-fight press conference, and it was one of the advertisements on the octagon at UFC 229. Since then, it has been made available in many countries worldwide, and with Conor’s name attached to it, it has done incredibly well. In its first year, it boasted sales of more than $40 million.

Earlier this year, Becle acquired 51% of Eire Born Spirits. We found out then that it was valued at around $235 million. It was reported that off of this sale, McGregor made a little over $100 million.

As mentioned above, McGregor sold his majority stake in Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey for $600 million in late April, but his business partners Audie Attar and Ken Austin received part of that lump sum. Depending on how much he made off the sale, McGregor's net worth increased by somewhere between $100 and 600 million based off of this news. He will remain involved with the whiskey company as a brand ambassador.

When you have the eyes on you that Conor McGregor has, it’s no secret that companies will want to attach their names to you. Forbes reported that in 2018, McGregor re-signed a deal with Reebok that was set to earn him $5 million that year. The same year, the Irish superstar signed a deal with Monster that was worth multiple millions, according to multiple reports.

Conor has also signed deals with Beats By Dre, David August, BSN, and HiSmile, amongst others. But perhaps his most famous endorsement came when he became the face of Burger King. It made him the butt of some jokes from Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov, but the money he made from it was likely no laughing matter.
