<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Charles Oliveira? </strong></h2>
While former UFC champion Charles Oliveira reigned at the top of the lightweight division for a brief time, his legacy is cemented in stone with his numerous exploits in the promotion. The BJJ ace holds multiple records in the promotion that testify to his exceptional fighting acumen and pedigree as a fighter.

Now, 'Do Bronx' is all set to fight against Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 300. The lightweight bout is one of the most exciting ones to go down at the prestigious pay-per-view and it will be watched by millions of people across the globe. So here's more about Oliveira.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira's early life</strong></h2>
He was born in the favela of Vicente de Carvalho in Guaruja, Sao Paulo, and aspired to be a professional soccer player. But his dreams were soon shattered after he was diagnosed with rheumatic fever and heart murmur.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">

His introduction to BJJ came at 12, with his neighbor Paulo working as the catalyst. Despite the meager resources, his family funded his training by selling street snacks and discarded cardboard.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveiraâ€™s girlfriend</strong></h2>
Currently, Oliveira is often spotted with his girlfriend Victoria Brum. The couple became official when the ex-UFC champ posted a picture of them together with the caption <em>â€œMy babe.â€Â </em>But earlier Oliveira was seemingly happily married.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2325793" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-1-7-172-560x315.jpg" alt="Charles Oliveira; Vitoria Brum" width="560" height="315" />

Talita Roberta Pereira is also trained in BJJ, like her ex-husband. The couple tied the knot in 2014, and in 2017, the couple was blessed with a beautiful daughter named Tayla. While she never took the professional route in BJJ, she was earlier spotted at the Centro de Treinamento Charles Oliveira Gold Team. According to Ecelebritymirror.com, she worked at the Casa de SaÃºde GuarujÃ¡ Hospital. However, despite no official confirmation from either, they seem to have parted ways!
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira's net worth in 2024</strong></h2>
According toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://wealthygorilla.com/charles-oliveira-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wealthy Gorilla</a>, the Brazilian fighter has an estimated net worth of over $5.5 million. The primary source of his revenue remains his fighting purse and bonuses collected from his Octagon fights. He reportedly banked $1.6 million from his fight againstÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Islam Makhachev</a>Â at UFC 280.

He also reportedly made about $1.3 million for defeating Beneil Dariush in their last fight at UFC 289. Now, he's set to face Tsarukyan. How much money will he make for the fight? One can only wait to figure out but his base salary of at least $100,000 should do him some good going into the fight.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira's Career timeline</strong></h2>
After producing successful results in BJJ, the 33-year-old shifted his focus to MMA. He announced himself on the world stage after amassing an impressive record of 12-0 competing in Brazil. On the heels of his unbeaten record, Oliveira signed for UFC as an exciting prospect.

He made his UFC with a trademark submission win over Darren Elkins in August 2010. But he dropped the next two fights against Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone. In 2012, the former champion moved to the featherweight, but a poor run of form during 2015 and 2016 compelled him to return to lightweight.

<figcaption>via Getty</figcaption></figure>
However, he soon hit his prime form after suffering a defeat against Paul Felder and rattled 11 consecutive wins that included winning the UFC gold by forcingÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-chandler/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Michael Chandler</a> to the mat and winning the belt via a quick first-round knockout at UFC 262. After that, he would win against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/">Dustin Poirier</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-gaethje/">Justin Gaethje</a> at UFC 269 and 274 to defend his belt only to lose it to Islam Makhachev at UFFC 280. A rematch between him and the champ would get canceled at UFC 294 after the victory over Dariush thanks to a brutal cut over his eye.

Deemed one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, the first-ever UFC two-division champion charted the Forbes No. 1 list in 2021 for his earnings both inside and outside the octagon. Apart from his fighting prowess, he is today a successful entrepreneur and very much a family man. So hereâ€™s a detailed peek into UFCâ€™s very own â€˜Notorious.â€™ Conor McGregorâ€™s early lifeÂ  McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. McGregor&#8217;s mother is Margaret McGregor, and his father&#8217;s name is Tony McGregor. Apart from these two, the McGregor family also consists of the fighter&#8217;s two sisters. Erin McGregor is his oldest sister, while his second older sister is named Aoife McGregor. Erin McGregor has also appeared as a contestant in the noted celebrity dance reality show, &#8216;Dancing with the Stars&#8217;. She also works as a fitness model. On the other hand, Aoife McGregor prefers staying out of the spotlight and runs an excavation business with her husband Mark Elliott in Dublin. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold&#8217;s Cross. He also got admitted toÂ  GaelcholÃ¡iste ColÃ¡iste de hÃde in Tallaght.   McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together. Conor McGregor&#8217;s wife and children First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that Conor McGregor isn&#8217;t married as of now. The Irishman has been in a relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiance, Dee Devlin. McGregor first met Devlin in 2008 and the two have been together ever since. However, their relationship became public post-McGregor&#8217;s UFC rise in 2013. The Dublin native also got engaged to the love of his life in the year 2020. McGregor and Devlin also have four three kids together named, Conor Jr., Croai, Rian, and their latest addition, Mack. McGregor&#8217;s son, Conor Jr. is his eldest offspring, followed by his daughter Croai. Then followed by Rian, and the youngest is Mack, born in November 2023. Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth 2024 The 35-year-old Irishman took the UFC and the sport of MMA to a whole new level since he joined in 2013. McGregor showcased his superb in-octagon prowess to become the first-ever champ-champ of the UFC. Understandably, the UFC also didn&#8217;t limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.   &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; also holds an awesome insight about how he can multiply his money with investments. He has invested in numerous businesses to date and makes some hefty amounts from there as well. As far as reports suggest, &#8216;Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth&#8217; stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2024. McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; earned his all-time highest base salary in his two last bouts against the famed lightweight, Dustin Poirier, which stood at a whopping $5M. The same bouts also earned him his biggest paydays. Also, McGregor&#8217;s total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights. Conor McGregorâ€™s career timeline The boy who once started boxing to defend himself from bullies today rules the world of MMA. Here are some of the highlights of his decorated career: Began showing interest in MMA (April 2006) First MMA Fight (February 2007) First Professional MMA Fight (March 2009) UFC Debut (April 2013) Fastest UFC Knockout in Championship Match (Jose Aldo, December 2015) First simultaneous UFC double champion (Eddie Alvarez, November 2016) Professional Boxing Debut (August 2017) Conor McGregor: UFC record The later part of McGregor&#8217;s career saw him pick up quite a few losses. The UFC record of arguably the most noted figure in MMA currently stands at 22-6-0. His last win was against Donald Cerrone by TKO but sadly the fighter was in recovery after two consecutive losses against Dustin Poirier, with the latter leaving him with a fractured tibia that required surgical intervention.Â    The fighter has however independently announced his comeback, but we are still awaiting an official confirmation from the promotion he is contractually bound to. And as per his own revelation to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, he has only two more fights left in his contract. He has further made it abundantly clear that his loyalties lie with the UFC and has denied any inclination towards free agency or otherwise.Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s next fight â€“ Who are the possible opponents for the UFC Star Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; had his last octagon outing at UFC 264. After his gruesome shinbone injury in the bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor was sidelined for an unprecedented amount of time. There were a lot of talks about 2023 being the year of his return. Several fans had also expected the same when McGregor was elected as one of the coaches for &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; this year. As per the ritual, the two TUF coaches, McGregor and Michael Chandler were also pitted against each other for a bout that would also mark McGregor&#8217;s return to the octagon. But with &#8216;The Irishman&#8217; failing his USADA testing pool deadline, the entire bout is currently in jeopardy. McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to compete at the last PPV of 2023. Nonetheless, now that he is back at the testing pool, it seems that 2024 is really the year.Â Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA. McGregor&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve announcement which he deemed himself as &#8220;The Greatest Comeback in Sports History,&#8221;Â has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; will be facing Michael Chandler and at a weight neither has ventured yet- 185 Lbs. Regardless, the UFC or head honcho Dana White is yet to provide any confirmation on the ordeal, and so far, no contracts have been signed. Given the lack of sufficient confirmation, Chandler has been outspoken about getting restless, and that he is not worried about fighting at a different weight.Â But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next. Conor McGregorâ€™s businesses and endorsements &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, August McGregor, and his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. McGregor set foot into the spirits industry in September 2018 with his Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Initially, McGregor launched the product in the US and Ireland only. However, the success of the product had McGregor expressing his wishes to restock in the US and Ireland. via Getty McGregor also intended to introduce his whiskey into the markets of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Canada in 2019. However, in 2021 it was reported that McGregor and his partners had sold their shares of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to &#8216;Proximo Siprits&#8217; for a hefty $600M.

They have several outlets in some of the noted cities of this world. However, McGregor&#8217;s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin was subjected to an attack from criminals on 12 January 2022. The hooligans threw petrol bombs targeting the pub. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. McGregor also promised a cash reward to anyone identifying the criminals Conor McGregorâ€™s UFC careerÂ  McGregor made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain&#8217;s biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so. McGregor&#8217;s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively. But McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, before his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion, further justifying his Featherweight title shot. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title. McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217; used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat. Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt by defeating then-champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. But McGregor couldn&#8217;t defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor&#8217;s associates said that he was stripped. Conor McGregor&#8217;s Fight Against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor&#8217;s fame in the UFC had him venturing out into other avenues as well. In June 2017, a boxing bout between McGregor and the coveted undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, was announced. The bout was expected to be the most cost-involved boxing matchup at that time. The earnings of Mayweather from the bout stood at a whopping $280M while &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; also earned a lump sum amount of $130M. via Getty However, McGregor didn&#8217;t quite have the outcome of his choice, as he was knocked out by Mayweather in the tenth round of the bout. But this bout earned him a lot of respect from the boxing community. Conor McGregorâ€™s Graphic Injury at UFC 264 Conor McGregor in his third fight against rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, had an immensely toxic buildup to the fight. One reason for the toxicity between the two is an unpaid charity pledge, which McGregor promised in their second fight at UFC 257.Â  Leading up to their fight at UFC 264, both McGregor and Poirier had one win over each other, and their fight at UFC 264 was supposed to be the tiebreaker. Ironically enough, this didnâ€™t seem to be the case, as the fight ended prematurely, with McGregor snapping his leg near the end of the very first round.Â  This led to Dustin Poirier Being termed the winner of the fight via Doctorâ€™s Stoppage. The injury has kept him out of action for over two years. However, the Irishman is finally aiming for a return in 2024. Despite the injury, McGregor has kept himself busy focusing on his outside of fighting.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s major achievements and awards Interim UFC Featherweight Championship against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, 2015 UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 UFC Lightweight Championship against Eddie Alvarez via TKO, UFC 205, 2016 Fight of the Night (Two times) vs. Nate Diaz (x2) First Irish-born UFC champion Third Multi-Divisional Champion in UFC History (Featherweight, Lightweight) First simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history (Featherweight, Lightweight) Fastest win in a UFC Championship fight (13 seconds) vs. JosÃ© Aldo Conor McGregor&#8217;s charity works Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community.

Although he won the next fight against Edson Barboza, he lost against Al Iaquinta for the second time. Many speculated that this was mainly because Lee did not have a head coach.

Despite losing, Lee took matters into his own hands and moved up a weight class. Lee had trouble making lightweight as he is too big for the division. He was one among many to pressurize the UFC to create a 165 lbs division. However, that did not happen.
