As per reports, Dana White currently has a net worth of $500 million. The sum seems to have increased after the TKO merger of WWE and UFC. However, no official confirmation has come out about White’s net worth in recent times.
Hence, it’s safe to believe that the UFC CEO is yet to become a billionaire. Since he is also a member of the UFC Board, Dana White takes home an annual salary of $20 million. There are significant social media numbers that prove Power Slap to be a blooming project. Hence, Dana White seems to be making a hefty amount of finances from there.
Before running the billion-dollar business, Dana White did a lot of small jobs in the early days of his career. At one point, he was a boxing coach and was trying hard to enter the pugilistic business. A college drop out, White had also worked as a bellman, a bouncer, and worked laying pavement before he saw sheer success in the sports world.
