UFC fighter Conor McGregor, one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, made $99 million between June 2017 and June 2018, according to Forbes.
McGregor makes his money mostly from fights and endorsements, but he has other projects like clothing collaborations and a whiskey brand that help contribute to his wealth as well.
And the outspoken fighter is not afraid to show off his riches. See what his multimillion-dollar paydays buy.
When it comes to battling in the UFC, Conor McGregor is the man to beat. His skills in the octagon - and in the ring with Floyd Mayweather in 2017 - have landed him millions of dollars to date.
In one year alone - between June 2016 and June 2017 - he brought in $99 million, $85 million of which came from his now historic boxing match against Mayweather, according to Forbes. His story is more of a rags-to-riches tale, though. Before he found success with mixed martial arts (MMA), he was a plumber's apprentice practicing in Dublin.
Now, his social media is filled with pictures of him and his family enjoying a luxurious lifestyle filled with gold watches, yachts, and designer clothes. Take a closer look at how he spends his millions.
Before he became the famous big-talking figure he is today, Conor McGregor was a plumber's apprentice in Dublin. He eventually made the choice to train full-time and fight on the European MMA circuit before turning to the UFC in 2012.
Although he hasn’t stepped foot in the UFC Octagon professionally since November 2016, the $85 million he banked from the boxing match was his biggest paycheck in 2017 and more than five times his previous top paycheck.
The Conor McGregor F.A.S.T. conditioning system is a "zone-based workout program for ultimate performance." It can be used on its own as an exercise regimen, or it can be incorporated into an existing one.
He'll be promoting the whiskey across a six-fight deal he signed with the UFC. The liquor company is set to be a sponsor in every UFC event in which McGregor competes.
