How UFC Champ Sean O'Malley Spent His First $1M

What's up GQ, I'm Suga Sean O'Malley

and this is My First Million.

[upbeat music]

$20,000 on the Slingshot, a little Polaris Slingshot.

I haven't drove it in like five years, but I still have it.

The Polaris Slingshot

is just that little three-wheeled Batman looking car.

You know, I wanted to ball out,

but I was trying to be smart, so I was like,

I'll just get this, this will tide me over for now.

I went to the nearest place that sold Slingshots,

scooped it.

I didn't even really know how to drive a stick shift.

I learned on the way home. [imitates engine revving]

[smooth music]

$50,000 on, you know, a couple cars for the family,

get 'em moving around.

Bought three Priuses

and paid off the rest of my mom's Nissan,

and they were pumped.

We're all very stingy, my mom was very stingy growing up

and those gas prices were high

and they wanted Priuses, believe it or not,

and they're still running.

I spent probably around $200,000 in jewelry.

I had to get iced out, had to, you know,

look good, feel good, perform good.

I got a couple watches, I got the Cuban,

I got the gold Cuban, this fat one right here.

I know this thing's heavy as fuck, that's all I know.

I think this one was 40,000.

I can rationalize in my head

that it is an investment for me.

Yes, I can tell myself that.

'Cause I tell, you know, kind of

I could get it back for what I paid for it right now.

The Richard, I did get this from Timepiece Trading.

The Richards, I feel like, are more of an investment,

and a nice clean Rolex, you know?

Not the iced out ones, those kinda loose value supposedly

after you ice 'em out,

but I wasn't really too worried about that.

They look good. 200K in jewelry.

For Mother's Day I gave my girl and my mom 50,000 each.

You gotta spoil the mamas.

They're good people, they take care of me.

Don't know where I'd be without them

so I had to, you know, hook them up.

I slack on Mother's Day and birthdays,

and not a very good, you know, holiday guy,

so I was like this would be perfect, you know?

And they're worth way more than that

but it's the thought that counts

Another $200,000 on cars.

I had to put a nice little down payment on the Lambo,

I bought one of the Teslas, the Model 3 Performance.

I think that was 60,000, paid for that cash,

and then I got the Model X Plaid, which is 150.

Put a nice down payment on that,

so that was about $200,000 on cars.

The Teslas are almost kinda like my daily drivers.

The Lambo I try to take out once a week.

When I first got the Lambo, you know,

I had to wrap it, of course, I had to get it wrapped pink.

It was originally red. I got the wheels green.

I got this custom Lewis steering wheel.

This guy did it, it's crazy.

But the Teslas, they're hard to beat

comfort wise, speed, really.

I mean they're crazy cars.

I got the Tesla, that Model X

'cause it was like one of the safest cars out there.

I got it for Danny, I got my baby in there.

That's kinda like our family car,

and then my Model 3 Performance, you know,

it's a fast little sedan.

I like it, it's cool.

You get pulled over too many times

driving those things though, it's an issue.

And then I spent 500,000 on houses

just to make sure I'm set up, you know?

Financially I feel, you know,

pretty secure, safe doing that.

Can somebody fix this?

We're back. Sorry about that.

500,000 on houses. I bought five houses in Arizona so far.

So the first house I bought, I lived in it

and then my mom lived in it,

and now my sister's living in it right now.

The second house is actually a pretty cool story.

I used to stream on Twitch a lot

and I'd have these guys in my chat every day,

and I moved four of 'em out and they live in that house now.

So I rent that out,

I rent out another house to some fighters,

some up-and-coming fighters.

One house right now, the one I'm gonna Airbnb it out,

and then the house I have, I just bought a little farm.

I got 15 chickens, a cow.

The reason I moved to Arizona

was just an opportunity to go down and train

with a legitimate gym.

I'm from Montana, there's no real gyms in Montana.

My buddy Tim, my coach, my best friend,

he invited me to move down.

He had just watched me fight once, didn't even know him.

He said, you can come live with us in Arizona and train.

So saved up $2,000 and my 2006 Nissan Altima,

packed it, drove 19 hours straight by myself to Arizona.

I literally moved there with one dream, one goal in mind,

and that's become, you know, world champ.

I would not have done anything different

on my first million.

I feel like I'm in a very, very good position.

I personally want to be a billionaire someday.

I wanna really learn the investment game

and go big and attack that.
