Conor McGregor recently broke the internet after he took to social media to show his interest in purchasing one of the biggest soccer clubs in the world, Chelsea F.C. The Russian owner of the club, Roman Abramovich, put up the club for sale and priced the lowest bid at 3 billion Euros.
Even though McGregor has a reported net worth of 200 million dollars (roughly 18.2 million Euros), he showed great enthusiasm in purchasing the football club. The Irishman received a lot of backlash and comments for his wish to purchase the club and many doubted his ability to, judging from his net worth.
