McGregor was ordered to pay nearly 250,000 euros (257,000 dollars) in compensation to Nikita Hand, also known as Nikita Ni Laimhin. In a lawsuit filed in 2021, he was accused of «brutally» raping and beating her when she was in a state of alcohol intoxication in December 2018, after she invited him to join her and a friend at a corporate party in Dublin. Hand claimed that the incident led to bruises and post-traumatic stress disorder.
McGregor stated that he never forced Hand to do anything against her will and insisted that the accusations were fabricated after they had consensual sex. His lawyer called Hand a «gold digger», - claiming that she made her claims for financial gain.
McGregor, who made his MMA debut in 2008 at the age of 18, has a net worth of 200 million dollars, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
However, in a 2023 interview with UFC’s Megan Olivi, McGregor boasted: «I'm approaching a billion right now, I think I have around 650 million dollars in total». He added: «I think Forbes estimates it, but I’ll probably check it myself».
From 2015 to 2018, McGregor headlined five UFC events, each of which attracted over 1 million pay-per-view buys. His clash with Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018 set a record for the biggest UFC event, with 2.4 million buys. In addition to MMA, McGregor also stepped into the ring against Floyd Mayweather in 2017. The highly anticipated fight, known as the «Money Fight», - ended with Mayweather defeating McGregor in the 10th round, and the event garnered 5.3 million pay-per-view buys worldwide.
In 2017, McGregor launched the Proper 12 whiskey brand, which quickly became popular. In 2021, he reportedly received 150 million dollars for selling his stake in the brand.
In addition to his fighting career and business ventures, McGregor has tried his hand at acting. In March 2024, he starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in a reboot of the 1980s film «Dear Home», - which debuted on Prime Video. McGregor reportedly received over 5.5 million dollars for his role.
McGregor is not married, but throughout most of his career, his fiancée has been Dee Devlin. The couple has been together since 2008 and is raising four children: three sons — Conor Jr., Ryan, and their third son, born in 2023, and a daughter, Croia.
