You could never accuse Dana White of not being a dedicated businessman.
In 2001, White became the president of the UFC after his childhood friends, Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, purchased the company for $2 million. In the 23 years since White has helped the Las Vegas-based promotion grow to previously unimaginable heights. Today, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is estimated to be worth a whopping $12.3 billion with White himself carrying an estimated net worth of over half a billion dollars.
But to get there, White had to work his ass off and make a lot of sacrifices — even if that meant putting off the birth of his son.
