Conor McGregor is rubbing shoulders with the world's highest paid athletes in 2020 - despite fighting just once this year.
According to Forbes, the Notorious one is among the top 20 highest paid sports stars in the world.
McGregor is the UFC's top earner since his record-smashing rise to stardom a few years ago, with pay-per-view buys spelling big money for the UFC every time he fights.
And in the one outing in the Octagon this year - a 40-second demolition of Donald Cerrone in January - he's established himself as the 16th top earner of 2020.
Forbes estimates that the Dubliner will bring in €40.5 million this year - more than stars such as Anthony Joshua and just behind the likes of Rory McIlroy, Lewis Hamilton and Tyson Fury.
However, the 32-year-old still trails big names such as Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the top ten of the list published in May.
Aside from his Octagon exploits, some of those earnings come from sponsorship deals with Burger King, Beats by Dre and Monster Energy.
But with McGregor predicting that he'll become a billionaire by the age of 35, his fight income could be dwarfed by the potential earnings he'll make from his Proper 12 Whiskey.
McGregor's whiskey is reported to have brought in over €800 million since it hit the market.
His net worth is currently around €120 million, but as he nears a UFC return in the coming months - that figure could rise significantly if his promise of a fully fledged return materialises.
The former two-weight champ is preparing to take on old rival Dustin Poirier.
