For Conor McGregor, living in the spotlight has become second nature, whether it’s a luxury vacation or a brazen attack on his pub, ‘The Notorious’ rarely flinches. But one thing he does admire? Grit and perseverance. His latest Instagram story gives props to the creators of South Park, who just hit billionaire status, a milestone McGregor has long dreamed of reaching himself.
So what happened? Well, last Friday, Forbes confirmed that the famous South Park creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are officially billionaires after they secured a new five-year, $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount earlier this week. The agreement will pay the pair at least $250 million annually to produce new episodes. With the deal in place, Parker and Stone now hold an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion each.
It certainly feels good to be named a billionaire by Forbes, and Conor McGregor wants to feel that same energy as well. Taking to his Instagram handle, the former dual-weight champion shared the news on his story with a caption that read, “@SouthPark, two mad bastards.” The multi-billion-dollar deal comes after much struggle from the behind-the-scenes drama.

When Paramount delayed the season 27 premiere due to the ongoing merger with Slydance Media, Parker and Stone didn’t hold back as they took to their X handle to call out everyone responsible for the delay, “This merger is a —t show. and it’s f—ing up South Park.” They might have had a rocky start, but they certainly achieved what they wanted.

He further added, “Once [Conor] got injured, once he pulled out of the fight, we had to move on. I could have just sat on the sidelines, but I was ready to get back in there and prove to the fans who I am, how I operate, and I want to put on fun, exciting performances.” Michael Chandler has expressed interest in fighting Conor McGregor, but he has also made it clear that he won’t wait indefinitely for McGregor’s return and is willing to take on any opponent the UFC offers him.
