Formentera is a tiny island off Ibiza, and celebrity and billionaire hotspot. Its white sands and turquoise waters resemble the Caribbean.
McGregor has been living it up in Ibiza with family and friends after losing a fight to Floyd Mayweather just over a fortnight ago. He was enjoying life aboard boats and yachts of his own when he spotted Sailing Yacht A.
His first post was captioned: "The 360 million dollar "sailing yacht A" pulls up out the back garden this morning. "Sailing yacht A" its called. That's how you know the owner doesn't need to give a bollox about anything. Sailing yacht A. Most expensive sailing yacht in the world. 360mill. Owned by a Russian billionaire. Google it. Crazy!"

Finally, he posted a photo of himself and Melnichenko's Sailing Yacht A in the background, which has been liked almost 1 million times so far.
That was a mad scene. I on... @ thenotoriousmma
The caption reads: "That was a mad scene. I only posted "race to the next yacht" two days ago and then this one pulls up right out my back garden. The biggest one of all. This is an eye opening level of opulence to witness first hand. To me, it is truly motivating. I'm starting to think I don't have a wealth belly just yet. I'm more just rich fat now. I must keep eating. I wonder if my lunch is ready. Happy Tuesday."
McGregor, has been living it up in Ibiza on an impressive yacht himelf, joined by family and friends, since losing a fight to Floyd Mayweather a fortnight ago. They appeared to be enjoying the Balearic sunshine.
