Conor McGregor may not be considered among the very best fighters in the UFC anymore, but he’s certainly still the richest.
McGregor recently showed off his new 63-foot, $3.6 million Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 speed boat with his 45 million Instagram followers.
“My Lamborghini yacht is ready,” the 33-year-old McGregor announced in an Instagram post last July while recovering from the leg injury he suffered in his second loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
The Lamborghini 63–aka “The Supercar of the Sea”–is powered by twin MAN V12 engines, each capable of producing 2,000 horsepower. The 24-ton vessel can reach a speed of 60 knots (69 mph), making it one of the fastest boats in its class.
Forbes has more details on McGregor’s baller boat:
In addition to the boat’s performance, the exterior embodies the Lamborghini DNA. The verde gea green hull is the same color as the Lamborghini Sian, and the carbon-fiber superstructure (to keep the weight down) features angular windows that evoke Lambo’s famous hexagons.
The cockpit is also a nautical interpretation of two Lamborghini models, with leather pilot seats from the Huracán Evo and a helm modeled on the Aventador steering wheel.
The collaboration between Tecnomar and Lamborghini was announced in June 2020, with only 63 boats going into production, commemorating Lamborghini’s founding in 1963.
According to TMZ, McGregor placed the order in October at Tecnomar headquarters in Italy and received yacht number 12 in honor of his Irish whiskey company, Proper No. Twelve, which he founded in 2018 and sold in April for $150 million.
“I am honored to secure the Number 12 edition of just 63 to be made,” McGregor said in an Instagram post last fall.
Recently, McGregor took his latest plaything on the water and gleefully shared videos and still photos of its first day out on Instagram.
The video shows a Panama hat-wearing McGregor piloting the waterborne beast, captioned simply, “The Supercar of the Sea!”
The Notorious followed that up with another pic captioned, “Catch me if you can.”
Meanwhile, McGregor has been lobbying for a fight against UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for his latest comeback fight, but podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan suggested McGregor take an easier “tune-up” fight before he attempts to upset Usman, considered among the best MMA fighters alive.
“If Conor wants the most chance of success, I would say fight a guy who is a little below championship level,” Rogan said on a recent episode of Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.
“Maybe a guy on the come-up, who Conor has an advantage over, but it’s still a competitive fight. Give him a test, but don’t put him in there right away with Usman.”
