Conor McGregor enjoys a pint with football legend Ian Wright at Dublin pub

Arsenal legend Ian Wright partied with Conor McGregor at the Dubliner's own pub over the weekend.

Wright, 58, shared a pint with McGregor at the Black Forge Inn in Crumlin, Dublin - the pub McGregor owns. The former England striker is the latest in a line of celebrities to party at the Dublin 12 venue, including comedian Kevin Hart, rap legend Coolio and social media influencer Dan Bilzeran.

Wright shared photos and videos of his experience at the pub on social media, including a picture of him having a pint with McGregor himself. The pub is one of three that McGregor has bought in Dublin in recent years, alongside the Waterside Inn in Howth and The Marble Arch in Drimnagh.

McGregor is said to have paid €2m for Crumlin pub and pumped a further €1m into the property to turn it into a gastropub. The 33-year-old is also believed to be interested in buying Censure House on Howth Head, which is one of the most expensive private houses to ever go on the market in Ireland.

While McGregor has lost three of his last four fights in the UFC, his investments outside the octagon have been very successful, including his own whiskey brand. In a recent Q&A session on Twitter, McGregor said that he thinks he will become a billionaire by the age of 35.

With an estimated net worth in the region of €100 million, McGregor is already one of the richest athletes in the world but would join a select club - including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Floyd Mayweather - if he were to join the billionaire club.
