Conor McGregor parties at Wayne Lineker's beach club and receives message from Katie Price
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Conor McGregor was dubbed a "legend" by Katie Price as the two were spotted living it large in Ibiza. The former UFC champion shared a string of snaps as he blew off steam on the famed Balearic party island, one of which highlighted him surrounded by friends at Ushuaia, before a series of snaps showed him at Wayne Lineker's exclusive Ocean Beach club. McGregor was seen shirtless and in a pair of red Versace Greca Border shorts - which retail for around £300 - while puffing away on a cigar at the open-air club in Carrer des Moli, as he played up to an adoring crowd. But he wasn't the only celebrity in attendance during his visit. Snaps shared later showed McGregor in conversation with former glamour model Price, with the 36-year-old writing: "@katieprice forever" as they posed for the camera. In response, Price re-uploaded the photo to her own Instagram stories section, adding: "You legend," in adoration of McGregor. Price, who is in Spain with long-time friend Ryan Mira, was all smiles as she showed off her figure in a tiny red bikini, but it comes shortly after the 47-year-old worried fans with a dramatic weight loss. The mother-of-five was quick to try to put minds at ease during an appearance on Rob Moore's Disruptors podcast however. She said: "Yes I've lost weight. Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight," before adding: "The past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me. Now I've gone back, now the IVF that's all come out, and I'm more active because I could do more because of my feet, and I'm horse riding again, then naturally, I'm going back athletic again." (Image: Conor McGregor Instagram) Price wasn't the only celebrity that McGregor crossed paths with at Ocean Beach either, as he soon-after shared a series of snaps alongside Tottenham Hotspur star, Kevin Danso. The 26-year-old centre-half joined Spurs on loan from Lens in February, before the Lilywhites made the move permanent earlier this month in a £21million deal. McGregor noted that O-Beach was celebrating it's 30th anniversary in his posts, despite the fact that Lineker's establishment only actually opened in 2012. He also shared a photo with the 63-year-old brother of Gary Lineker, which Wayne uploaded to Instagram with the caption: "@thenotoriousmma the man is back." McGregor, Price and Danso are not the first influx of celebrities that Lineker has welcomed to his day club over the years, with a number of A-listers making time to visit the wonderful white beds of Ocean Beach. Soccer brothers Jude and Jobe Bellingham were spotted relaxing with Lineker last month, as was former welterweight UFC champion Leon Edwards. Meanwhile, the likes of Jack Grealish, James Maddison, Ivan Toney and Declan Rice have all been spotted living it up at the open-air club in the past.

Conor McGregor parties at Wayne Lineker's club and gets message from Katie Price
Former glamour model Katie Price has branded Conor McGregor as a "legend" as the duo were spotted living it up in Ibiza. McGregor, the ex-UFC champion, took to social media to share his holiday shenanigans, including partying with mates at Ushuaia and at Wayne Lineker's famous Ocean Beach club. The mixed martial arts star was spotted in red Versace shorts, enjoying a cigar without a shirt at Carrer des Moli. But he wasn't the only celeb soaking up the sun on the island. Later, photos emerged of McGregor catching up with Price, captioning the photo they snapped with: "@katieprice forever". Price reciprocated the gesture by reposting the picture on her Instagram story with the caption: "You legend." Price, who is in Spain with long-time friend Ryan Mira, was all smiles as she showed off her figure in a tiny red bikini, but it comes shortly after the 47-year-old worried fans with a dramatic weight loss. The mother-of-five was quick to try to put minds at ease during an appearance on Rob Moore's Disruptors podcast however, reports Dublin Live. She said: "Yes I've lost weight. Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. The past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair.

Price wasn't alone in rubbing shoulders with McGregor at O-Beach; he also posted a series of photos with Tottenham Hotspur's Kevin Danso. The 26-year-old defender joined Spurs on loan from Lens in February, and the club recently sealed the deal permanently earlier this month for £21 million (€24.6m). McGregor mentioned that Ocean Beach was marking its 30th anniversary in his posts, despite Lineker's venue actually having opened its doors in 2012. He even shared a snap with Gary Lineker's 63-year-old brother, which Wayne captioned on Instagram: "@thenotoriousmma the man is back." McGregor, Price and Danso join a long list of celebrities that Lineker has hosted at his day club over the years, with many A-listers taking time out to enjoy the luxurious white beds on offer. Football siblings Jude and Jobe Bellingham were seen with Lineker just last month, as was ex-welterweight UFC champion Leon Edwards. In addition, football stars such as Jack Grealish, James Maddison, Ivan Toney and Declan Rice have all been spotted partying at the open-air club in the past.

2025 CNBC Disruptor 50: How we chose companies on this year's list
The top five companies on the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50 list — Anduril, OpenAI, Databricks, Anthropic and Canva — have a combined valuation of just under $500 billion. This is more than the combined total valuation of almost every past Disruptor 50 list of the last 12 years. OpenAI, the company that sparked a global arms race for new artificial intelligence capabilities, is the biggest contributor with its $300 billion value. But it is a race in which the other four companies in the top five (and more than two-thirds of the entire 2025 Disruptor 50) are very much key participants. The piles of cash amassed by these startups is characteristic of a new era of the Disruptor 50 list, an era that began with the 2023 list and very much continues, with the Disruptors using their cash piles to fund their own growth organically, and (notably) inorganically. Databricks has been especially acquisitive, spending billions of dollars to buy other companies in the past year. But valuation isn't everything. The eye-popping values attained by the top five companies on this year's list, and many others throughout the top 50, were technically less important factors in our ranking methodology than other measures of the companies' growth, scalability, and their overall promise to keep on disrupting in the years to come. Here's how we chose the 2025 Disruptor 50: All private, independently owned startup companies founded after Jan. 1, 2010, were eligible to be nominated for the Disruptor 50 list. Companies nominated were required to submit a detailed analysis, including key quantitative and qualitative information. Quantitative metrics included company-submitted data on their sales, number of users, employee growth (or lack therof), and more. Some of this information has been kept off the record and was used for scoring purposes only. CNBC also brought in data from a pair of outside partners — PitchBook, which provided data on fundraising, implied valuations and investor quality; and IBISWorld, whose database of industry reports we use to compare the companies based on the industries they are attempting to disrupt. CNBC's Disruptor 50 Advisory Board, a group of leading thinkers in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship from around the world, along with the newer Disruptor 50 VC Advisory Board, then ranked the quantitative criteria by importance and ability to disrupt established industries and public companies. This year, the two advisory boards found that scalability and user growth were the most important criteria, followed by sales growth and access to capital and community. New for 2025, we can compare the way the two different advisory boards considered the importance of the list criteria. While the two boards mostly agreed, the VC group thought that the size of the industry being disrupted was much more important than the academics did, with the latter ranking access to capital and community as more important criterion than the group that provides said access. The ranking model is complex enough to be sensitive to these differences of opinion, and perhaps more than ever, it makes good on the concept that companies must score highly on a wide range of criteria to make the final list. Nominated companies were also asked to submit important qualitative information about themselves, including descriptions of their core business model, ideal customers and recent company milestones. A team of CNBC editorial staff, including TV anchors, reporters and producers, and reporters and editors, along with many members of the Advisory Board, read the submissions and provided holistic qualitative assessments of each company. In addition, the VC Advisory Board assessed a small group of finalists as an additional component of the qualitative review. Specifically, we asked the VC group to assess some of the companies that would, if selected, be making the list for the first time, as well as to help in the consideration of high-scoring early stage firms, a group with lower valuations but promising business models poised for future growth. Importantly, these VCs were not permitted to provide an assessment of any company in their firm's own portfolios. In the final stage of the process, total qualitative scores were combined with a weighted quantitative score to determine which 50 companies made the list and in what order. The new generative AI era that began in 2023 has completely transformed the Disruptor 50 List. Twenty of this year's 50 companies have made the list for the first time, while another 19 were first-timers in either 2023 or 2024. Put another way, only 11 of the 2025 honorees are pre-ChatGPT CNBC Disruptors. But for most of that group (Anduril, Databricks, and Canva chief among them), the embrace of the new era is what has kept them here.
