Conor McGregor, the renowned UFC star, is facing consequences for an assault on a woman at a Dublin hotel, with a recent ruling demanding he pay £200,000 in damages to the claimant, Miss Nikita Hand. The infamous 36 year old athlete, who once claimed the UFC featherweight and lightweight titles, has been found liable in the case stemming from allegations of rape made by Hand six years prior. The Irish former champion, known for his opulent lifestyle shared with fiancée Dee Devlin and their four children, burst onto the MMA scene in 2013 after turning pro in 2008.
Despite last stepping foot in the octagon in 2021, McGregor remains a heavyweight name in the industry, partly due to his lucrative boxing match against Floyd Mayweather. As far as finances go, McGregor's precise net worth isn't public knowledge, yet the not-so-shy fighter estimated his wealth when speaking to the Irish Mirror in 2023, "I'm closing in on a billion now. I think I'm at about $650m (£520m) all in I've made.
I think they (Forbes) estimate that. I'd have to probably do my own little check of that. But I fancy my chances, I fancy my chances of getting up that list.
" However, reports from Celebrity Net Worth suggest McGregor's riches are closer to £160 million. His 2017 showdown with Mayweather alone contributed over £100 million to his bank account, complementing his considerable earnings from fight nights with numerous business ventures lining his pockets. One of the Irishman's most notable ventures.
