Conor McGregor makes staggering net worth claim when asked by fan how rich he is

Conor McGregor has made a staggering claim about his net worth when asked how rich he is.

The Dubliner decided to take to social media to do a Q&A as he had some free time.

And one of the questions to McGregor was how long it would take him to become a billionaire.

One user asked McGregor: "How close are you to becoming a billionaire?"

And McGregor was quick to reply, saying: "I’m a billi years."

It was reported earlier this year that McGregor's net worth had topped €230 million although other reports suggest the figure could be closer to the €160m mark.

McGregor sold his majority stake in his Proper12 whiskey brand and scooped a cool €140m while doing so and nets close to €30m per UFC fight.

The Dubliner also earns close to €20m a year in endorsements and other social media earnings.
