As well as playing golf, Rory also has a number of sponsorships with well-known brands.
This is likely to have helped him in buying property across the globe.
In 2017, the golf player’s Nike contract was extended for 10 years, said to be worth £8million a year.
He is estimated to earn around £30million in total from his sponsorships alone.
Rory grew up in a four-bedroom house in Hollywood, Northern Ireland.
It was adapted for Rory, who had his very own golf simulator in the garage.
His father Gerry also transformed the garage into a studio where young Rory could study his swing.
When he first moved out of his parents home, he purchased Robinhall House in County Down, which is now thought to be worth £3.2million.
It came complete with its own driving range, outdoor hot tub and a full size tennis court.
