Conor McGregor has claimed he has beaten The Rock to become the highest-paid debut actor.
The Irishman stars alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House, which was released earlier this month.
McGregor, who has previously said he has a net worth of around £525million, has taken to social media.
And the 35-year-old, taking to X, claims he's now beaten Dwayne Johnson to become the highest-paid debut actor in history.

"What did you think of my acting debut movie trailer? Hell of a ride!" he said in a post that has since been deleted.
"I am now officially the highest-paid first-time actor of all time, on record, pipping Dwayne Johnson for the top spot. Incredible!"
Johnson was previously paid a huge £4.3m for appearing in 2001's The Mummy Returns.
The 51-year-old was at the height of his wrestling career at the time, which perhaps explains why he was paid so much.
The Rock even received a Guinness World Record for the achievement.
However, if McGregor's comments are to be believed, then it's possible he'll now scoop the prestigious prize.
McGregor, speaking on Good Morning Britain, has admitted it's a 'nice father in the cap' to become the highest-paid debut actor.
"That’s the fact, the highest paid first time actor of all time so it’s a nice feather in the cap," he said.
"There’s not an action star in Hollywood that could take me on and that’s a fact, so let’s see how it goes."
While McGregor has turned to acting, it's still unclear what the future holds for the Irishman when it comes to UFC.
The 35-year-old has been lined up to face Michael Chandler, having not fought since losing to Dustin Poirier in 2021.
Negotiations have dragged on, however, only adding to the uncertainty over his future.
And McGregor has admitted he was previously hoping to fight in December or January.
He said earlier this week: "We'll still in the first quarter of this year, talks are ongoing it's a little bit of lack of transparency.
"I've got two fights left on my contract, I don't think either of us know what the move will be.

"I just wish to get a bit more consistency with my training. Am I flat out right now? No. But I have been.
"I was scheduling for early this year, I was scheduling for January, for December even before that.
"I had camps set up, I had a camp out in Cannes in the South of France. I had a camp in Dubai also, some world champions with me.
"I put in a solid camp and I was well ready and then you get lack of transparency, it's like you've just got left unseen."
On his wealth, meanwhile, McGregor said last May that he was eager to become a member of the billionaires' club.

"It's motivating, obviously Michael Jordan is at the top spot with the Jordan brand took him there, he's worth multiple billions, 3.3 I think he's made," he said.
"I'm closing in on a billion now, I think I'm at about 650million all in I've made.
"I think they (Forbes) estimate that, I'd have to probably do my own little check of that.
"But I fancy my chances, I fancy my chances of getting up that list.
"It's good to see, as you say that Forbes was a goal of mine to hit that, I got that and on we go."
