Hi, I am Kanishk and I am a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. I love telling the stories of these magnificent fighters and this wildly unpredictable sport that is so frustrating and yet so joyous at the same time. I never really used to watch MMA, thinking it too crude or brutal a sport to deserve respect. But, spurred by Joe Rogan, I started my journey to becoming an MMA fan. And once I started watching, I was hooked. The drama- better than most movies, the storylines- more gripping than the WWE, and the results- even more shocking. And pretty soon, I found myself arguing with strangers on the internet over whether Demetrious Johnson would beat Jon Jones if they were the same size, or if UFC 1 was actually fixed. I have taken that same passion and love for the sport to ES and hope to share it with the readers. And the best part is that it's my job to watch UFC events with fellow enthusiasts and write about it.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White: Net Worth 2023, Salary, Wife, and More</b></h2>
Dana White played an instrumental role in making the UFC the household brand it is today. He started his career as a bouncer and climbed the ladder to become one of the most successful businesspeople worldwide. His business acumen, shrewd tactics, and eye for opportunities eased UFC's path to establish itself as the biggest MMA promotion.

As of April 2023, he works as the President of UFC, a position he has held since 2001.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>What is Dana White?s Net Worth in 2023?</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dana White has a net worth of $500 million. Further, he collects an estimated $20 million salary annually.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White?s Early Life and Education</b></h2>
Born on July 28, 1969, White spent his early childhood in Ware, Massachusetts. The 53-year-old spent his youth switching bases between Las Vegas and Maine. White initially attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he first encountered Lorenzo Fertitta. However, he got kicked out twice and finally graduated from Hermon High School in Maine in 1987.

[caption id="attachment_452281" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-452281" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1157103655.jpg" alt="Dana White" width="1920" height="1280" /> SHANGHAI, CHINA - JUNE 20: Dana White, UFC President gives a speech during 2019 UFC Performance Institute Panel and UFC Fight Night Shenzhen Press Conference at UFC Performance Institute Shanghai on June 20, 2019 in Shanghai, China. (Photo by Yifan Ding/Getty Images)[/caption]

White dropped out of college twice and juggled various jobs, including laying asphalt, being a bouncer at an Irish bar, and being a bellhop at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Ever-interested in combat sports, White picked up a pair of boxing gloves at 17 and initially dreamt of pursuing a professional career. However, he soon dropped the idea after witnessing a punch-drunk boxer and feared the same outcome for himself.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White?s Parents?</b></h2>
Dana White was born to June and Dana White Sr. and traces his roots as an Irish American. While much is not known about his father, he and his sister Kelly mostly grew up under the care of his mother and grandparents.

In 2011, June released the unauthorized autobiography of the UFC lynchpin- 'Dana White, King of MMA'. She shockingly revealed that her son <em>"had turned his back on his family and friends who were there for home when he needed help and support".</em>

Situation Moments After His Birth</a>

Similarly, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eMp_rWgjc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 2011 interview,</a> she said, <em>"He?s not a good person. He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people."</em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White?s Career</b></h2>
While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.

In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-unbelievable-wwes-high-profile-sale-to-ufcs-parent-company-made-jim-ross-scared-because-of-one-particular-reason/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced a merger with WWE</a> to form a new $24 billion worth company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand.

In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/">Conor McGregor</a>-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a "<em>broken business</em>" in 2022.

Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White?s UFC Share</b></h2>
White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million.

<h3><strong>Max Verstappen 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h3>
[caption id="attachment_855444" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-855444 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-12T145849Z_1190383776_UP1EHCC15LZEB_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="Max Verstappen" width="1920" height="1280" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates winning the race and the world championship with the Netherlands flag on the podium REUTERS/Hamad I Mohammed[/caption]

Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partnering <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula One and it was completely justified.

He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula One and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fernando Alonso,</a> <a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.out-of-this-world-verstappen-on-same-level-as-schumacher-and-alonso-says.6BLkA9yf5x1Qy1rHLyRQPW.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">labeled</a> <a href="https://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-verstappen-is-the-best-driver-in-f1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid</a>.

<h3><strong>Max Verstappen: Stats and On-track?</strong><b>Achievements</b></h3>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula One, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen; After a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, Hamilton, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

By the end of the 2021 season, Max Verstappen scored 20 wins and 60 podiums in his F1 career from over 141 race starts.
<h3>Max Verstappen: New racing number</h3>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.

Max Verstappen 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Formula One F1 &#8211; Abu Dhabi Grand Prix &#8211; Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates &#8211; Red Bull&#8217;s Max Verstappen celebrates winning the race and the world championship with the Netherlands flag on the podium REUTERS/Hamad I Mohammed Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partnering Carlos Sainz Jr in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula One and it was completely justified. Read More: Did Arrogant Comments from Max Verstappen in the Press Conference Lead to the FIA Investigation and Further Penalty He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula One and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso, labeled him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid. But his skill also comes with him being a hot head often known to say controversial statements or target teams/players directly.

He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to Sebastian Vettel. With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda. However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen; After a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, Hamilton, to clinch his first-ever title in F1. By the end of the 2021 season, Max Verstappen scored 20 wins and 60 podiums in his F1 career from over 141 race starts.
