Ireland’s 2018 rich list has been published by the Irish Independent and contains some very familiar faces.

Superstar Conor McGregor enters the list for the first time in 111th place with an estimated fortune of $171 – swelled significantly following his fight with titan Floyd Mayweather.

Riverdance creator Michael Flatley drops three places to 45th on the list after his fortune from $459 million to $452 million. That might rise  in 2018 if he can find a buyer for his Cork mansion that has remained stubbornly on sale for years.
