Conor McGregor is frequently mentioned by MMA fans as the most significant figure in the history of the discipline. The Irishman, who has a net worth of $200 million, has cemented his position as the richest MMA fighter in the world, frequently regarded as second only to Dana White.
However, according to recent sources, McGregor himself has made the startling claim that his net worth has doubled and is now on the verge of reaching $1 billion, potentially surpassing Dana White, the half-billionaire business magnate.

Conor McGregor has said he is close to becoming a billionaire and that he is worth well over $500 million.
The MMA legend said that he has earned $650 million so far in his career and that he will soon surpass the $1 billion mark in a sit-down interview with Megan Olivi of the UFC.
Since making his debut in the UFC ten years ago, McGregor has grown to become one of the most well-known and successful athletes in sports history. His quick rise landed him a 2017 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather, which brought in somewhere about $100 million for McGregor.
Four of the five highest Pay-per-view buy rates in UFC history belong to the Dubliner, and his matchup with Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018 was by far the largest UFC event ever.
McGregor is still one of the top draws in the sport despite only sparingly making appearances inside the Octagon over the previous seven years. He made an eye-popping $40 million from his most recent two fights with Dustin Poirier.
In more recent years, McGregor has dabbled in a number of highly profitable commercial pursuits. Shortly after his fight with Khabib in 2018, he introduced his Proper 12 Whisky brand. Three years later, he sold his majority ownership in the business for an astounding $120 million.
The Black Forge Inn in Dublin, which the 34-year-old took over, is now a hangout for A-list celebs on a regular basis. Due to the pub’s popularity, McGregor was also able to create his own “Forged Irish Stout.”
The Notorious has many sources of income that are certain to keep the money rolling in, and McGregor is confident that it won’t be long until he is a multibillionaire.
