Dana White has been the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) since 2001, when he and childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta purchased it for a mere $2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Dana White’s net worth of $500 million is largely thanks to his $20 million salary as UFC president.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

White transformed the organization into a global MMA powerhouse. In 2016, White and his friend sold their stake in the company to a consortium of investors led by WME-IMG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sale price? An impressive $4.025 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UFC has flourished into one of the biggest professional sports commissions in the world and boasted an annual gross revenue breaching $1 billion in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
