Conor McGregor has been named the world’s highest paid athlete for 2021
The mixed martial arts star raked in a massive 180 Million US dollars.
He only fought once in the octagon during the report period… with the majority of his earnings coming from his businesses successes – including the sale of his Proper Twelve whiskey brand.
Barcelona’s Lionel Messi was second on the list with 130 Million US and then Cristiano Ronaldo on 120 Million.
