Conor McGregor is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. He makes millions inside the UFC, even topping Forbes' Highest Paid Athletes list back in 2021.

But, how much did he make for his acting debut in the new Prime Video remake of Road House?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Conor's current net worth is estimated to be around $200 million, thanks to his successful career in the UFC, Proper Twelve whiskey brand, and various business dealings.

And, he's not one to work for free.

But, Conor was excited to enter into the new realm of acting as a self-proclaimed "white belt". Speaking to TMZ, Conor shared,

"I didn't know how I was going to take to it. I didn't know whether I was going to like it, to be honest... but I'm show business. That was my vibe to it. I felt that. I enjoyed every second of it."

And, despite falling short in almost every area, Conor's debut performance has actually been one saving grace for the movie. And, has been celebrated by fans.

Conor McGregor Was Paid "At Least" $5.5 Million for Road House 2024.

According to Screen Rant, Conor took home a reported salary of $5.5 million for his portrayal of Knox in the 2024 remake of Road House.

Although this does not make Conor the "highest paid actor of all time", as he sees in the future, he did overtake the record from The Rock, who was paid $5.5 million for his acting debut in 2001's The Mummy Returns.

The action-packed movie features Jake Gyllenhaal as ex-UFC fighter Dalton. And, despite initial skepticism surrounding athletes' acting abilities, McGregor impressed both critics and audiences with his performance. His portrayal in Roadhouse defied negative stereotypes and showcased his natural talent and charisma as an actor.
