5. George St. Pierre
Purse money earned: $4,457,000
Estimated net worth: $25,000,000
Until more is known about how much Conor earned in bonuses for his last 3 fights, the richest guy on this list (based on available data) is Georges St. Pierre.
GSP is a mainstream sports celebrity in Canada, and has been voted the country’s greatest athlete on multiple occasions. He has received mainstream sponsorship deals that are likely the most lucrative ever signed by a fighter. In particular his deal with Under Armour is said to be quite rewarding for Georges. Unfortunately it is the outside sponsorships that GSP signed that are preventing him from returning to the UFC. Speculation is that Georges is asking the UFC to make up for the revenue he would lose since he can no longer accept outside sponsorship for his fights.
Georges has also appeared in movies, such as the recent remake of “Kickboxer”, and in Marvel’s “Captain America”.
