2McGregor, on the other hand, enjoys splashing the doughFury, who faces Oleksandr Usyk for the heavyweight title on Saturday night, earned almost £50 million for his crossover fight with Francis Ngannou in October.
McGregor famously earned £100 million for his 2017 boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
It’s no secret that the two, who have witnessed each other fight in person, are equally loaded.
However, when it comes to how they spend their wealth, they could not be more different.UFC icon Conor McGregor has one of the most extravagant lifestyles of any athlete.
The Notorious has spent millions on opulent Marbella houses, Lamborghini ships, and an impressive collection of cars and watches.
Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, lives a far more modest existence in the small town of Morecambe.
Despite having an outstanding fleet of vehicles, Fury and his family lived in a modest home worth only £550,000 until 2021..
Here’s how the two compare in the lifestyle stakes.
PROPERTY
Tyson Fury has lived in Morecambe, a small seaside hamlet, for nearly 13 years.He just spent £1.7 million on a new Lancashire home, but before was content to live with wife Paris and their children in a five-bedroom, £550,000 home.
In a three-part ITV documentary in 2020, he said: “People ask me, ‘Why don’t you live in California or America?’” – Why should I?
“Why would I leave my own nation for a bit of money and fame?
“I absolutely love it. I wouldn’t leave Morecambe. It’s quite beautiful. “If the weather was better, every house here would be a million pounds.”
The same cannot be true of Conor, a former plumber’s apprentice who enjoys spending money. He revealed this to Jimmy Kimmel, a US television show.
“I mean, you’ve got to enjoy the money, right? “It’s only paper,” McGregor told Kimmel during his chat show.

He continued, “I need to quit fantasizing about materialistic things, but I adore them. “I need to be honest with myself.”
That’s why, when McGregor retires, he may choose between three homes: Ireland, Spain, and the United States.
In 2019, he paid £2 million for a stunning five-bedroom property in The Paddocks near Straffan, County Kildare, which is behind an affluent gated Ladycastle enclave at the K Club, famous for hosting the Ryder Cup in 2006.
The MMA star also has a £1.3 million holiday home in The Heights, an upscale Marbella complex where Cristiano Ronaldo lives..
CARS
McGregor boasts some of the fastest automobiles around.
It is estimated he has a garage worth over £3 million and has been seen driving a number of showy cars.
In the past, he displayed two Lamborghinis, including a £280,000 Aventador.
McGregor also owns a fleet of Rolls-Royces, including a £300,000 Phantom, a £250,000 Wraith, and a £280,000 Dawn.
Let us not forget McGregor’s £2.7 million Lamborghini yacht, as well as his rumored private jet.

2Fury was also photographed cramming his 6ft 9in body into a £10,000 1993 Mini Cooper.Fury has just reduced the size of his car collection. He was photographed driving a £250,000 Ferrari GTC4Lusso but appears to have left the Italian supercar.
He also sold his Rolls-Royces when he became depressed and his life spiraled out of hand.
The Wythenshawe boxer even shared a tearful video on YouTube, waving farewell to a £300,000 Cullinan as it departed his driveway.
He claimed to have exchanged it for a used Volkswagen Passat for £500.
Fury has also been spotted driving along Morecambe Bay in a small Mini Cooper worth £10,000..
FASHION
Fury catches up with McGregor in the clothing he wears.
The couple both enjoy wearing bespoke statement suits. Tyson prefers Claudio Lugli numbers, which he often displays at press conferences before a big fight.
McGregor, too, isn’t afraid to use his whistle to say something, once wearing a suit with the words ‘F*** you’ inscribed in extremely small letters.
He frequently collaborates with tailor David August, with whom he shares a fashion company, to create fresh looks.

“A good suit is like a plate of armour,” he famously told fashion magazine GQ.
Amusingly, Fury enjoys going into combat and lives in luxurious robes during training camps.
He was pictured in a £375 Versace dressing gown before fighting Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas, paired with £595 Gucci footwear..
JEWELLERY
Diamonds can also be a gentleman’s best friend.
Fury, while not as flashy as McGregor, has been sighted sporting a £500,000 Richard Mille Rose Gold watch as well as a Rolex.
He is also wearing a diamond-encrusted necklace that matches his Versace robe, which is draped over his neck.
McGregor also likes watches. Surprisingly, he owns a watch collection worth £2.2 million.
He owns a Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette worth a staggering £730,000.
However, it is another Jacob & Co timepiece that is his most disrespectful. The Rasputin has blue hands and a bad secret.

How much did it cost, you ask? £1.5million.
THEIR WAGS
Fury and McGregor were in long-term relationships before becoming household names.
Dee Devlin met the Irishman in a bar in 2008, right around the time he chose to pursue a career in MMA.
And she’s always been supportive of him before a big fight, even disclosing that she prepares his meals to keep track of the calories he’s consuming.
As does her fiancé, she enjoys wearing fashionable attire. When McGregor got into the ring to face Floyd Mayweather, she was seen in the crowd wearing a £1,750 D&G leopard print dress.
Dee, like Conor, values jewellery and has been photographed wearing Cartier pieces such as a £31,000 watch and a £40,000 bracelet.
Paris Fury is also glamorous, with her flowing blond locks and penchant for costly clothing. The beautiful mother-of-six has a sweet spot for Chanel, as evidenced by an Instagram post featuring a pair of stylish gold metallic trainers priced at £750.

Clearly, the Wags are more comparable than their sporting counterparts..
