Despite actually being a high school dropout, Dee Devlin didn’t let her education bow her down. She started to earn for herself from quite an early age. Reportedly, Devlin was at work as a waitress at a Dublin nightclub when she had her first meeting with the love of her life McGregor. Besides that, Devlin also took up a few other jobs to support herself during this time.

As of today, she is a businesswoman, model, and one of the most coveted social media influencers. Devlin officially started off her journey as a businesswoman when McGregor appointed her to the management team of his noted business venture, Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey. She often promotes her fiancé’s product through her Instagram account, as well.

Needless to say, Devlin has supported ‘The Notorious’ in ways that no one else could have ever done. Talking to VIP Magazine in 2015, the former UFC double champion said, “Every day, since I started out in this game, she’s supported me. She’d drive me to the gym, and she’d listen to all my dreams. Dee is a lifesaver for me. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for her, and that’s for sure. I’m doing all of this for her.”

When McGregor gets ready for his fights, Devlin takes over the duties and helps the Irish mixed martial artist by cooking, cleaning, packing his gym bags, etc. But has her net worth increased with her responsibilities?

What is Dee Devlin’s net worth?

Most UFC fans know that there’s no fighter in the promotion topping ‘The Notorious’ when it comes to riches. The highest-paid UFC fighter has amassed a whopping net worth of about $200M from his UFC career, business ventures, and other endorsements and sources. Looking at these, it’s evident that Devlin also isn’t short of money.

Being employed in a management position inside a noted company like ‘Proper No. Twelve’ would mean that Devlin also earns a good amount of money from her payouts. As far as reports suggest, Dee Devlin currently boasts a net worth of $20M. However, she wasn’t always a manager at McGregor’s whiskey company. So, what did she do before that? Let’s find out!

From model to waitress: Dee Devlin’s previous jobs

After knowing that Devlin was at her work when she met McGregor at the nightclub, the fighting community has often wondered what kind of work she was into. McGregor’s fiancé Devlin started off her professional career as a waitress, working for multiple small restaurants and nightclubs.

She also took up small modeling projects during this time as well. Hence, it may be said that she is still holding up her passion as a model, although her professional circumstances have changed completely. With the ‘Mystic Mac’s ventures into the world of drinks and nightlife, the question of Devlin’s role in McGregor’s businesses often oozes out.
