What is Katie Taylor's net worth?
Katie Taylor is an Irish professional boxer and former soccer player who has a net worth of $5 million. That includes the estimated $6 million she earned in November 2024, defeating Amanda Serrano in a rematch.
Katie Taylor is one of the most successful and influential female boxers in history, having achieved remarkable success in both amateur and professional boxing. Born on July 2, 1986, in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, Taylor began boxing at the age of 11 under the guidance of her father, Peter Taylor, at the Bray Boxing Club.
As an amateur, Taylor dominated the sport, winning five consecutive World Championships (2006-2014) and six European Championships. Her crowning achievement as an amateur came at the 2012 London Olympics, where she won the gold medal in the lightweight division, making history as Ireland's first Olympic female boxing champion. Her victory was particularly significant as it came in the first Olympics to feature women's boxing.
In 2016, Taylor made the decision to turn professional, signing with promoter Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing. She quickly established herself as a force in the professional ranks, winning the WBA lightweight title in 2017 in just her seventh professional fight. She continued to accumulate titles, becoming the undisputed lightweight champion by 2019, holding the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and Ring Magazine titles simultaneously.
One of Taylor's most significant professional achievements came in 2023 when she moved up in weight to challenge undisputed light welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron. Although she lost their first encounter, Taylor avenged the defeat in a rematch later that year, becoming a two-division undisputed champion and cementing her legacy as one of boxing's greatest champions.
Beyond her achievements in the ring, Taylor has been instrumental in raising the profile of women's boxing globally. Her technical skill, speed, and relentless fighting style have earned her widespread acclaim, while her humble demeanor and strong Christian faith have made her a role model for aspiring athletes.
Taylor's impact on Irish sport and culture cannot be overstated. She has consistently broken attendance records for women's boxing events, including a historic headline bout at Madison Square Garden. Her success has inspired a new generation of female boxers and helped transform women's professional boxing from a marginalized sport into a mainstream attraction.
