Conor McGregor earned a lot from his Whiskey brand
The Irishman also earned $180 million in 2020, most of which came from the sale of his whiskey brand. McGregor, Audie Attar and Ken Austin sold their majority stake in Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey to Proximo Spirits for over $600 million.
Proximo Spirits is a major liquor brand that also owns whiskey brand Bushmills and a tequila company called Jose Cuervo.
The company purchased 20% shares of Proper No. Twelve in 2018, they upped their stakes to 49% in 2020, becoming the largest stakeholder. Though they sold the majority of shares in the brand, Conor McGregor hinted that he’d still be closely involved with it moving forward. The Irishman wrote on his Instagram:
Thanks to my Irish Whiskey fans all across the globe! Proper Twelve is my baby for life, and I am just warming up the barrels here! What I have in store for you all will not only take Proper Twelve to the absolute pinnacle of Irish Whiskey! But of all spirits! Next stop – Worldwide domination!!!
