Islam Makhachev 2023 net worth
According to various sources, Islam Makhachev had a reported net worth of around $650,000 back in 2022. However, sources estimated that his net worth in 2023 has likely grown to around $1,000,000. This is largely due to his World Championship win over Oliveira in late 2022. Moreover, his upcoming fight against Aussie fighter Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 284 will also add to that value.
Islam Makhachev UFC salary
Makhachev has seen quite an impressive rise in his UFC salary throughout his career. Makhachev reportedly earned around $24,000 during his first UFC fight, where he defeated Leo Kuntz at UFC 187. This could be split up into three sections. His base salary was at $10,000, while his win bonus and sponsorship earnings were $10,000 and $4,000 respectively.
Meanwhile Islam Makhchev’s UFC salary for the most recent bout against Oliviera for the-then vacant Lightweight Championship will surprise fans. This is because the two amounts are highly contrasting. Makhachev reportedly earned around $250,000 as a base salary alone. He earned a further $250,000 as win bonus and $32,000 from sponsorship earnings. Thus, he earned an overall total salary of $532,000 from the fight.
