Conor McGregor once famously said, "I'm 30 now, say by 35 I'll be a billionaire." A man of his words, 'The Notorious' is very well headed that way with fight purses, endorsements, and profit from his whiskey company combined.

Conor McGregor is by far the richest athlete in UFC. His per fight salary is almost double than the second or third highest paid fighters in the company, like Alistair Overeem or Khabib Nurmagomedov.
