Dana White is one of the biggest names in the world right now. He is the UFC President, and, over the years, he has taken the promotion to new heights. Many consider him one of the people who made MMA popular.

He, along with the Fertitta brothers, bought the UFC back in 2001. After initially struggling to make money and keep the promotion afloat, they saw it boom. The company became a subsidiary of Zuffa and they sold the UFC to WME-IMG for $4.025 billion in 2016. White continued as the president of the promotion and was also given a stake in the business.

He has made a lot of money because of his association with the UFC. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he has an annual salary of $20 million and his net worth is around $500 million.
