Conor McGregor is aiming to overtake basketball legend Michael Jordan's phenomenal $3.3billion fortune over the coming years after learning of his wealth.
The legendary former UFC champion is pushing towards making his first billion, after a massive money sale of his Proper Twelve whiskey brand for over £500million. The sale came shortly after a series of fights that launched his average earnings into the tens of millions, including a £100m purse for a crossover bout with Floyd Mayweather.
And he has now set his sights on Jordan, who according to a recent statista study, is the highest paid athlete of all time, primarily earning his money after retiring with his Air Jordan brand. He is widely considered the greatest basketball player in history, and has netted a reported $3.3b, or around £2.67b throughout his life.
