Conor McGregor is one of those fighters, and aside from being a great athlete, he has gained notoriety as a result of having a big mouth and an even bigger ego, and he has made millions over the course of his career. Conor's net worth is around $110 million, and when you have that kind of money at your disposal, you tend to spend some of it on questionable things, and this article will focus on 15 of those things.
