Tuesday, May 27, 2025 -UFC star, Conor Mcgregor, is reportedly in 'serious talks' to purchase adult subscription-based website OnlyFans.
According to Reuters, owner Leonid Radvinsky is in
talks to sell the porn-centric website to Los Angeles-based investment firm
Forest Road Company but the former UFC champion has now thrown his
hat in the ring for the whopping £6billion purchase.
The 36-year-old also shared a post of a report claiming that
he is in 'serious talks' to acquire the company.
Ukrainian-American businessman Radvinsky made a fortune as
the founder of adult webcamming website MyFreeCams, which launched in 2004.
In 2018, he bought a 75 percent stake in OnlyFans' parent
company Fenix International Ltd. from its British founders Tim Stokely and his
dad Guy Stokely.
McGregor, meanwhile, has substantially grown his wealth
through wise investments throughout his combat career and especially since his
last appearance in the Octagon in 2021.
According to Forbes, the Irishman has a net worth around
£31m but other reports put it in the region of £150m. McGregor has been the
face of Proper 12 whiskey and Forged Irish Stout, appearing in
advertisements and promotional material across a host of platforms, with the
Proper 12 whiskey brand named after McGregor's home postal district in Dublin.
The Proper 12 Irish Whiskey brand was first launched back in
2018 by McGregor, with the fighter and his team eventually selling the brand
for a reported sale price of roughly £500 million.
McGregor himself pocketed an estimated £120 million in the
deal when selling his majority stake, but has remained a prominent promoter of
the whiskey since its 2021 acquisition by Proximo Spirits
The former two-division UFC champion also currently owns a
business empire in his native Ireland which boasts the popular Dublin pub The
Blackforge Inn as its public-facing crown.
McGregor has spent an estimated £2.5 million purchasing and
renovating the venue on Dublin's Longmile Road which has become the social
media backdrop for the fighter's online promoting of both Proper 12 whiskey and
Forged Irish Stout.
