Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor was named Forbes' highest-paid athlete in 2021, so just exactly how much is he worth?
The former UFC featherweight and double-lightweight champ was last in the ring early in July with Dustin Poirier, who he beat during their first fight together back in September 2014. He wasn't so lucky this time though; he broke his leg during the first round and has had to have surgery.
But fresh off the operating table, 'The Notorious' is back in the gym and already said to be in talks with Jake Paul about a fight.
What is Conor McGregor's net worth?
McGregor is estimated to be worth a whopping $200 million (£144,347,540) in 2021 - no wonder he can afford to have his own custom-made Lamborghini 'super car of the sea' yacht.

Celebrity Net Worth places his earnings from fighting in the $235 million mark (£170 million), with roughly $115 million (£83 million) in UFC earnings to date.
How much is Conor McGregor's whiskey brand worth?
In April 2021, McGregor's whiskey brand Proper No.Twelve was reportedly sold for $600 million (£430 million). Proximo Spirits is now the majority stakeholder in the company.

The money was split between McGregor and the company's co-founders: his agent Audie Attar and their business partner Ken Austin.
McGregor might only be a small stakeholder now, but he continues to use his huge social media following to promote the brand and wants to see it continue to go from strength to strength.
"Proper Twelve is my baby for life!" McGregor said in a statement on his website at the time. "I'm only warming up the barrels here! What I have in store for you all will not only take Proper Twelve to the absolute pinnacle of Irish whiskey, but of all spirits!"

And it looks like he's got Justin Bieber involved...
When is Conor McGregor's next fight?
Nobody can say when for sure, particularly as the boxer is waiting for his broken leg to heal. However, it's looking increasingly likely that his next opponent will be boxer and YouTuber Jake Paul.Conor McGregor Instagram
As mentioned, the 33-year-old Irishman has a huge social media following. His Instagram profile - @thenotoriousmma - has more than 41 million followers and he's got nearly 83,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel.
