Owning businesses is a different aspect, but having success in all of them is an entirely different ball game. White initially acquired the UFC from Semaphore Entertainment Group for $2 Million.

Recently, in 2019, he extended his contract for the next seven years, cementing his place in the organization.
As White discusses his different business ventures, we can see his vision. He has the passion and the desire to grow the business. In the YouTube video, White says, ‘So over the last couple of years, I have dove into many businesses. I own a company called Throw One with the fertila brothers. We hold Ridiculousness, which is on MTV. We own Nitro Circus, we own SLS Skate League, and Travis Pastors Nitro Cross. I love brand building, and we are having a blast with that. We are about to get a residency here in Vegas at the Paris with Nitro Circus.”
Coming from a very humble background, White has come a long way. Not only has he given UFC a new face, but he is also investing in different businesses.
