Conor McGregor shares staggering net worth as UFC’s biggest-ever star
Conor McGregor has revealed what he thinks his most update-to-date net worth is.
As you stare sullenly at yet another Pot Noodle which you're preparing for dinner for the tenth night in the row - it was either that or baked beans - Conor McGregor isn't living in a cost of living crisis in the slightest.
The 34-year-old former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight and Lightweight Champion is currently sitting at position number 33 on the list of the highest paid athletes of all time, and has since opened up about just how much he's actually now worth.

Appearing on The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 on the UFC's YouTube channel, McGregor is asked by Megan Olivi how it feels to be so high up on the '50 Highest-Paid Athletes of All Time' list put together by Sportico.
The mixed martial artist responds: "33 is an angel number as well.
"For sure, it's motivating. You know, Michael Jordan's at the top spot obviously with the Jordan brand it took him there, he's got multiple billions I think 3.3 he's made."
McGregor has previously hit the top 50 of Forbes' list of The World's Highest-Paid Athletes, coming in at position 35 in 2022, before being 'dropped off' the list in 2023.
And in the top 100 celebrity's of 2020, he reached a respectable 53rd place.
Sportico's list - 'based on conversations with industry insiders, Sportico research and historical estimates in media outlets, such as Forbes and Sports Illustrated' - states McGregor is currently worth $615 million (£490 million) (inflation adjusted earnings), or $530 million (£423 million) (non-inflation adjusted earnings).
However, in his interview with Olivi, McGregor couldn't help but then reveal a supposedly more accurate count. Prepare for your jaw to drop.
McGregor's net-worth may have stood at $200 million (£144,347,540) in 2021, but oh what a difference two years makes.
According to the 34-year-old, he is 'closing in on a billion now'.
"I'm at about 650 million all in. I would probably have to do my own little check of that, but yeah, I fancy my chances, I fancy my chances of getting up that list," he adds.
The UFC star's final casual reflection?
"So yeah, it's good."
Yeah, if I had nearly a billion in the bank I'd probably just think life is a mere 'good' too.
It's alright for some eh?
