Conor McGregor – $120 Million
Conor McGregor can prove that size is not as important as skill. Conor McGregor isn’t a big man, but he can intimidate any opponent with his wining history and his deadly look. McGregor retired from his professional wrestling career in 2020 with 22 victories and four losses.
McGregor’s fans were curious to know why he retired after only 32 years. He was honest when he told ESPN he had “tired and bored” of the sport.
