His UFC pay-per-views consistently bring in over 1 million buys and he gets a cut of that. At this point in history, he has been featured in 7 out of the top 10 UFC pay-per-views of all time.

McGregor also has his hands in other businesses that drives up his value even more. Proper 12, his whiskey brand, is also going strong and those media blitzes featuring Notorious casually talking up his branded booze pay off in a big way.
