Khabib Nurmagomedov has millions of fans all around the world thanks to his success in the world’s largest MMA company, UFC. With over 38 million followers on his Instagram account, he is one of the most followed MMA sportsmen around the globe. Thus, despite withdrawing from sports early, Nurmagomedov is doing well in his personal life. ‘The Eagle’ is using his celebrity in a business outside of MMA as well. Following his retirement, the UFC Hall of Famer launched a number of companies, including MMA promotion, gyms, and food chains. As a result, Nurmagomedov maintains a net worth of over $40 million.
