According to MMA Mania, Khabib has focused much of his time since retirement coaching his fellow Dagestani fighters, including Islam Makhachev. According to ex-UFC fighter and announcer Daniel Cormier, Khabib spent over $1 million (£780,000/€920,000) preparing Islam for his first title shot in 2022.

Khabib’s dedication to mixed martial arts is in no doubt, with the Dagestani launching the Eagle Fighting Championship, having bought the Gorilla Fighting Championship for $1 million (£780,000/€920,000) shortly after his retirement from the sport. The Russian-based promotor boasts over 500,000 followers on Instagram, suggesting Khabib’s investment will be well worth the money!

Khabib seems intent on investing his money in areas he is interested in. This includes his Russian-based fast food chain, M-eat by Khabib. According to SportsKeeda, M-eat is famed for serving horse, a popular meat in Russia and elsewhere.

Khabib has also forayed into the world of real estate investment, according to The Richest. While the exact investment is unknown, Khabib has, at least in part, funded the construction of the Al Firdaus Residence and Halal Complex in Turkey. This is reportedly Khabib’s first real estate investment.

When you are worth as much as Khabib, you will likely have treated yourself to a few luxury cars. Khabib is no different, with his garage boasting a Mercedes Benz AMG-GT, a Ferrari California, and a BMW 6 SERIES worth a combined $422,000 (£330,000/€388,000).

Like many wealthy people, Khabib likes to take advantage of the finer things in life. This includes spending time at luxury resorts around the world. According to The Richest, Khabib enjoys spending time in the United Arab Emirates and has completed the Hajj pilgrimage to Medina in Saudi Arabia as part of his Islamic faith.

Reports suggest Khabib is heavily involved in numerous charities, including a drug rehabilitation center he founded alongside his training partner Magomedzaid Zaidov, per The Sun. Relief Web has also written about the extensive fundraising work Khabib has done to help build houses in Syria over the past few years.
