Conor McGregor has reaped enormous success both inside and outside the octagon. The first-ever simultaneous two-division champion in the UFC, McGregor also owns several successful businesses. He was also the only MMA star to top the Forbes highest-earning athlete’s list when he achieved the feat in 2020.

For all that he earns, McGregor is also a generous philanthropist who is known to often give back to his community. The Irishman has publicly and privately made several small and large donations to charities and helped people in need. He also does the same as part of promotions for his various business brands. Quite recently, ‘The Notorious’ made another significant donation to a noble cause. This was as part of the promotion for the overseas launch of his latest beverage, Forged Irish Stout.

Furthermore, McGregor also joined hands with the Welsh football club Wrexham AFC and their star forward Paul Mullin to hand over the check.
