Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov: Who Reigns Supreme in the Net Worth, the Richest UFC Superstar in 2025

In the uncompromising world of UFC, the success of an athlete is not just defined by the Championships or athleticism on display, but also through financial standings. Two of the biggest sports icons, Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, have not only marked their name in the history of UFC but also amassed an impressive fortune for themselves. While we believe that their battle inside the octagon was watched by millions, their battle of net worth is an equally interesting spectacle.


McGregor is included in the list of the richest athletes of all time, not only he is one of the highest-paid or the wealthiest in the UFC but his additional business ventures have contributed massively towards the star’s rapid financial success. The various sources that generate a hefty sum of income for McGregor apart from his successful fighting career are endorsement deals, profitable business ventures, mainly the sale of a majority stake in his whiskey brand, Proper No. 12, which was reported to be a massive $600 million in 2021.
As of February 2025, McGregor stands as one of the richest UFC players with an estimated net worth of a massive $200 million. The UFC star enjoys a lavish lifestyle, which includes the ownership of luxury assets and vehicles, such as a £2.7 million Lamborghini yacht.

Nurmagodov is an esteemed figure in the history of UFC and MMA, not only he is one of the greatest players of all time, he retired without a single defeat. After retiring from UFC, Khabib now leads a peaceful and reserved lifestyle. His spirit for the sport made him step into the shoes of a coach and now he guides the coming generation for the world titles. Despite being undefeatable throughout his MMA career, Khabib has an estimated net worth of $40 million, his primary source being sponsorships and other business ventures.

While Khabib Nurmagomedov might’ve surpassed Conor McGregor’s legacy inside the cage, he hasn’t matched the 36-year-old’s financial success. As of 2025, McGregor is miles above Nurmagomedov when we compare their net worth.
