Many professional athletes have reacted to this news as well. As per an article by ‘Forbes‘ which shows the real-time net worth of the billionaire, he currently has a net worth of $268.2 billion. This is much higher than the richest of UFC athletes.
‘Celebrity Net Worth‘ made a list of the richest MMA personalities. Topping the list is UFC star Conor McGregor, whose net worth stands at $200 million. The Irish fighter is followed by Brazil’s Rorion Gracie, whose net worth is around $50 million.
Khabib Nurmagomedov stands at the third position with a net worth of $40 million. The list also includes names of other big names like Georges St Pierre, Brock Lesnar, and Ronda Rousey.
At the end of the list was Yoshihiro Akiyama, a South Korean-Japanese MMA fighter who has a net worth of $4 million. Hence, it is astounding to see how far on top ‘The Notorious’ is in the MMA business. However, even the Irish fighter’s net worth is not anywhere close to that of Elon Musk’s.

In fact, the top 50 MMA personalities together cannot defeat Musk’s net worth. While this list also included Bruce Buffer, even adding a few more UFC fighters wouldn’t get them close to crossing Musk’s net worth.
His SpaceX and Tesla are estimated at billions of dollars. Hence, it is not surprising to see that some of the biggest athletes too are not able to give him competition.
