Conor McGregor is not only the highest paid fighter on the UFC roster, but now he’s one of the top 25 richest athletes in the world.
The UFC lightweight champion was the first ever mixed martial arts to crack the top 100 last year when he came in at No. 85 with $18 million in reported earnings.
That number pales in comparison to what McGregor put together over the past year as he competed in a trio of the most lucrative fights in UFC history.
According to Forbes, McGregor earned a reported $34 million over the past year, which including his pair of fights against Nate Diaz as well as his lightweight championship win over Eddie Alvarez this past November.
