Talking further on the topic he added, “[Dana White] says ‘No way I’m giving you a million dollars because you’re going to give him 10%.” ‘What you want?’ I said, ‘Give me an Audi R8’ and this is before the Audis, they wasn’t really out yet so he gave me an Audi R8 to sign the contract and I’m out like damn I should’ve asked for a Ferrari.” From the words of Jackson, it is clear that White, who now has a net worth of $500 million, was not ready to accept the demand of ‘Rampage’s manager.
