Conor McGregor moves closer to Michael Jordan’s billionaire status with huge demands for new venture

Conor McGregor has amassed a massive fortune from his UFC career and business ventures, and he has no plans to stop anytime soon. According to various reports, McGregor’s net worth is estimated at $200 million as of 2024, making him one of the richest athletes. The UFC star gained a massive net worth after selling his widely successful whiskey business to Proximo Spirits for $600 million, amassing a fortune of nearly $150 million for himself, according to Forbes . But how close is he to becoming the billionaire he aspires to be?

The former two-weight champion is trying to return to the UFC and re-establish his name in the annals of MMA history. At the same time, he was looking to expand his business. Will he eventually join the ranks of the likes of Michael Jordan as billionaire athletes? Let’s see what he has planned.

Conor McGregor has big news

Conor McGregor became the face of the UFC when he became the world’s first two-weight champion. There was a time when he was more famous around the world than the sport, and this fame earned him a lot of deals and monetary compensation. His fight with Floyd Mayweather reportedly earned him $100 million. But his career earnings are still far from Jordan’s level.

McGregor spoke of his dream to share Michael Jordan’s status as one of the richest athletes of all time. While speaking to Megan Olivier, McGregor said he wants to replicate the basketball legend’s financial success – “I think he (Michael Jordan) made $3.3 billion. “I’ve made a billion dollars and I think I’ve made about $650 million total. “

Recently, Conor McGregor hinted to us that in addition to his “Proper 12 Whiskey” and “Forged Strout”, he also plans to launch some new products in the summer to promote more profits for his business empire. In a recent Q&A, a fan asked McGregor, “Any new drinks coming soon”, McGregor wrote, “Yes, I have a bombshell to announce soon. For the summer! Fans of this special drink will be very happy. Contest! Not so much. Forged Army

It looks like McGregor Brewery is about to launch a new drink. This could bring McGregor’s net worth closer to that of Michael Jordan and help compete with Jordan’s massive $3.3 billion. But this isn’t the announcement fans were hoping for from the former “Champion” over the summer. The soon-to-be 36-year-old hopes to return to the Octagon in the summer and has made the same plans again.

‘Honey Trap’ makes new demands on Dana White

Conor McGregor’s comeback is a complicated story. His fight with Michael Chandler has been postponed numerous times, and despite multiple attempts by both fighters, Dana White and the UFC have made little progress on their fight. The UFC CEO came out and said he would let the world know when McGregor was ready to fight, but we haven’t heard anything since.

Now, McGregor has stepped in to demand a proper timeline from Dana White. In his latest confessional, McGregor wrote, “I’m hoping (the Diaz fight) will be in the sphere on Mexican Independence Day. Chandler, June. Diaz, September. I’ve let everyone know that. Still holding out hope for June 29th . However, the lack of action is now leading to a lack of enthusiasm.”

He further added, “I need to make a decision soon. I’m the most tested athlete in this new regime. But don’t date for fights. It doesn’t help that the game is a bit lackluster at the moment. I hope the next few cards pop up , so I can get an appointment. Eliminate the distractions and get down to the real hard work.” The former two-weight champion appears to be growing tired and has no fight date on the horizon. But when do you expect to see McGregor in the Octagon again? Will he crack the “Billy” sphere?
