Dee Devlin shares in more than €1m director's fees on board of McGregor's company
The sizeable fees are a fraction of what Ms Devlin is believed to earn as a key member of McGregor's business team Dee Devlin has shared in more than €1m in fees paid to directors of Conor McGregor's management company over three years. Having spent a decade working to promote her fiance's brand, the former model and influencer has reaped the rewards, sharing fees of €342,750 with two other directors in 2023, €351,184 in 2022 and €339,617 in 2021. Ms Devlin (37), earned the fees as a director of McGregor Sports and Entertainment where she has been on the board for more than a decade, alongside McGregor's long-standing business partner, Alan Geraghty, who is also group CEO. The sizeable fees are a fraction of what Ms Devlin is believed to earn as a key member of McGregor's business team. As Ms Devlin took to social media last week to fend off the latest slew of online controversies over McGregor's compromising activities, company records show just how much she is invested in her husband's brand. She has served on the boards of most of his Irish-registered companies, including his online media business, TheMacLife. She was briefly director and secretary at Jemi Ventures Limited, the company that developed and runs The Black Forge Inn in Crumlin. She resigned from five McGregor companies in February last year and as company secretary of McGregor Sports and Entertainment. She remains a director of the company, which had a retained income of €506,475 in 2023 and 30 staff. McGregor is its sole shareholder. Ms Devlin, a former model and influencer, is credited with shaping McGregor's business interests overseas. She is listed as joint owner with McGregor of the couple's palatial home in Kildare, the Paddocks. In recent years, various media outlets estimated her net worth at €18m, from her management work for McGregor and her own personal social media following. However, since joining Instagram in 2014, Ms Devlin has never participated in a paid post, despite amassing more than two million followers. Conor McGregor, Dee Devlin and their children with Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Photo: White House Rob Kenny, founder of Rob Kenny PR, has worked in the Irish and UK influencer market for over a decade — and he believes if Ms Devlin did decide to make money collaborating with brands on social media, she would face an uphill battle. Mr Kenny, who represents many of Ireland's biggest influencers, including Vogue Williams, says: 'Vogue is very brand friendly, but Dee would come with a lot of controversy — so I don't think she would have the same pick-up. 'Brands are very, very careful about who they work for, and after everything that happened with Conor, I think brands would have concerns.' Ms Devlin was present in court during McGregor's trial in 2024, when he lost his civil rape trial. She also attacked the character of victim Nikita Hand in a series of messages on her Instagram stories. Mr Kenny says the breakdown of Ms Devlin's followers would also impact her earning power. 'I would also say the vast majority of Dee's followers are based in the US, where Conor's fanbase is. So she might do better in that market. But then, when you think about the amount of celebrities and influencers in America, why would they choose Dee Devlin?' If she took that route… she could make a fortune If Ms Devlin does want to cash in on her online profile, Mr Kenny says the 'smartest' route is via 'affiliate links', which enable influencers to earn commission on sales generated through their content. 'She could sell her own make-up or tanning brand on the TikTok shop or on YouTube. That way she would be able to make money while bypassing brands and agencies who have concerns about working with her. 'For example, if she launched her own range of fake nails, she would be able to sell them directly to her two million followers. Every time a follower makes a purchase, Dee could make 5pc-30pc of every item sold.' If Ms Devlin was to agree to a tell-all interview or a Netflix series about her relationship with McGregor, Mr Kenny says she would stand to make millions. 'If she took that route, after everything she has lived through, she could make a fortune.' Ms Devlin left school at 15. She held down several jobs and worked as a waitress and a model before she met McGregor in 2008, when she was working in a nightclub. The couple moved in to McGregor's parents' attic when paying rent was a challenge. Once the UFC fighter's career began to take off, she began working on his team. Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin. Photo: Eamonn Farrell The couple got engaged in 2020 on the week of her 33rd birthday. A year later McGregor told an Irish media outlet that his wedding would be 'extravagant' and take place in Ireland. Photographs of McGregor kissing a woman in Florida surfaced online last week, and later US rapper Azealia Banks revealed that the Dubliner had sent her nude photographs of himself. Ms Devlin responded on Instagram, posting a photo of her partner with a hearteyes emoji: 'My monster.' Many of McGregor's business interests have taken a hit since Nikita Hand's successful civil action against him last November. He is appealing the court decision after a civil jury found that he had assaulted her. Many pubs and retailers stopped stocking products associated with McGregor after the verdict, including Forged Irish Stout. McGregor was once estimated to be worth up to €300m and in 2021 topped Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid athletes. More recently his wealth has been valued at less than €200m. His pub business in Crumlin has made significant losses in successive years. The Proper No Twelve whiskey business was sold to Proximo Spirits for €570m in 2021, generating more than €100m for McGregor. The company has dropped any association between the brand and McGregor since the Nikita Hand verdict. Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor. Photo: Getty Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 21st

Lobov stung with legal costs after changing claim against McGregor
Former MMA fighter Artem Lobov, who is suing Conor McGregor for a €6million share of his whiskey brand, must pay the lion's share of legal costs after changing his claim, the High Court has ruled. Artem Lobov, 38, a retired fighter known as 'The Russian Hammer', claims he was the original creator and co-founder of the whiskey that became McGregor's Proper No. Twelve. He said he came up with the idea while studying for his Master's degree at DCU, and his sparring partner Mr McGregor had agreed he would be entitled to a 5% share of the proceeds. He said the offer was made at the Straight Blast Gym (SBG) in Dublin. But at the pre-trial stage, Mr Lobov changed the date on which he said the deal had been agreed with Mr McGregor, resulting in the trial being adjourned with just days to go.

(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Yesterday, Judge Nessa Cahill said Mr Lobov's initial statement of claim had read 'in September 2017 at the SBG gym' Mr McGregor 'made a specific offer to the plaintiff of 5% of the proceeds of the whiskey deal'. She said Mr Lobov asserted it was confirmed by a handshake witnessed by three people. Mr McGregor denied the claim, the judge said, saying there was never any agreement. The trial was set down for May this year. Five days before it was due to start, Mr Lobov's solicitors wrote to Mr McGregor: 'On reviewing the documentation… the plaintiff's evidence now shall be that the agreement… was concluded in October 2017 in SBG Gym.' Judge Cahill said that, in a sworn statement, Mr Lobov had apologised for his error. She said: 'He recalled he was, in fact, in Iceland for 10 days after the defendant's fight against Floyd Mayweather on August 26, 2017.' The court heard messages Mr Lobov had accessed confirmed to him that the meeting with Mr McGregor was in the week beginning October 9, 2017, and not in September.

Pic: Getty Images Judge Cahill said Mr McGregor had been prejudiced in his defence by the change of date. She noted Mr Lobov was going through belongings when he found an old phone and was able to access messages on it. She ruled: 'I am of the view that the just order in the circumstances of this matter is an order that the plaintiff bear liability for 75% of the costs incurred by the defendant from March 18, 2025, in preparing this matter for trial, up to and including the costs of the first day of trial. This is to cover the costs of work done by the legal team during that period.' She said her order did not cover costs incurred before March 18, but would include 75% of the fees associated with the first day of the hearing and the costs of delivering an amended defence. Judge Cahill granted a stay on the order until the conclusion of the full case. The trial is expected to go ahead in the autumn.
