Conor McGregor's net worth is estimated at around $200 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, making him the wealthiest fighter in MMA history. Most of that wealth traces back to the 2021 sale of his Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey brand -- a deal reportedly worth up to $600 million, with McGregor's own share estimated at more than $100 million -- on top of roughly $235 million in career combat-sports earnings, including a reported $100 million payday for his 2017 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
McGregor became the first fighter to hold UFC titles in two weight classes simultaneously, but his career since 2021 has been defined as much by injuries and legal trouble as by fighting: a broken leg sidelined him for years, a November 2024 Irish civil court verdict found him liable for assaulting Nikita Hand, and his July 2026 comeback fight ended in a first-round knee injury.

Early Life
Conor Anthony McGregor was born on July 14, 1988, in Dublin, Ireland, and grew up in Crumlin before his family moved to Lucan when he was 13. He began boxing at age 12 and started training in mixed martial arts in 2008 under coach John Kavanagh at Straight Blast Gym Dublin, while working as a plumbing apprentice.
UFC Titles and Rise to Stardom
McGregor signed with the UFC in 2013 and won the UFC Featherweight Championship by knocking out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194 -- the fastest finish in UFC title-fight history. He then defeated Eddie Alvarez to win the UFC Lightweight Championship, becoming the first fighter to hold two UFC titles simultaneously. His rivalry with Nate Diaz produced one of the sport's most famous storylines: Diaz submitted him at UFC 196, and McGregor won the rematch by majority decision at UFC 202.
The Khabib Fight and Its Aftermath
At UFC 229 in October 2018, Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor via neck crank in the fourth round. The fight's aftermath became as notable as the result: Nurmagomedov jumped the cage and a brawl broke out, leading to a six-month suspension and $50,000 fine for McGregor.
Comeback, Injury, and Boxing with Mayweather
In between UFC fights, McGregor took on boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a 2017 crossover boxing match, reportedly earning around $100 million -- the biggest single payday of his career. He returned to the UFC to knock out Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds at UFC 246 in January 2020, but then lost back-to-back fights to Dustin Poirier: a second-round TKO at UFC 257 in January 2021, and a first-round TKO at UFC 264 that July after McGregor broke his leg. That injury kept him out of the UFC entirely for years.
Proper No. Twelve and Business Ventures
McGregor founded the Irish whiskey brand Proper No. Twelve, and he and his partners sold their majority stake to Proximo Spirits in 2021 in a deal reportedly worth up to $600 million, with McGregor's own share estimated at more than $100 million. He is also a co-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and has held endorsement deals with brands including Monster Energy, Reebok, and Beats by Dre.
2024 Civil Case and Its Fallout
In November 2024, a jury at the Irish High Court found McGregor civilly liable for assaulting and raping Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel room in December 2018, awarding her approximately €250,000 in damages; a later ruling added roughly €1.5 million in legal costs. McGregor's appeal to the Court of Appeal was denied in July 2025, and Ireland's Supreme Court declined to hear a further appeal in December 2025, exhausting his options to overturn the verdict. In the aftermath, major Irish retailers including SuperValu, Centra, and Tesco Ireland stopped stocking his whiskey brand, and Proximo Spirits ended its promotional association with him.
2025 Political Activity
In March 2025, McGregor announced during a White House visit that he intended to run as an independent candidate in Ireland's 2025 presidential election, criticizing Irish immigration policy. He launched a petition seeking a public vote to bypass the country's constitutional candidate-nomination requirements, but withdrew from the race in September 2025.
2026 UFC Return
McGregor returned to the UFC for the first time since his 2021 leg injury at UFC 329 on July 11, 2026, in a rematch against Max Holloway. He suffered a knee injury throwing a jumping kick at the start of the fight, and Holloway won by TKO just over a minute into the first round.
Personal Life
McGregor became engaged to longtime partner Dee Devlin in August 2020 and married her in a ceremony in Vatican City in December 2025. The couple has four children: Conor Jr. (born 2017), Croia (born 2019), Rian (born 2021), and Mack (born 2023).
