The UFC President, Dana White, is also one of the most known faces of the company. He is credited by many for his crucial efforts, which revived the UFC back to its glory. White started off from a middle-class economic background and went on to become one of the most noted businessmen of modern times. There have been multiple instances where White has gone vocal about his acquisition of the entire UFC for around $2M. Since then, he has turned the tables drastically to make the UFC a whopping $10B organization, but that’s not it. The UFC boss also boosted his net worth to a massive $500M and recently joined an elite list.

White was included in this year’s ‘Variety500’ list of the most influential business leaders in the entire world. His boss, Ari Emanuel, also joined him on the list. Emanuel is the CEO of ‘Endeavor’, the parent company which owns the UFC.

‘Variety500′ also listed the reasons beside each personality, owing to which they could make it into the list. The notable factors which granted White an entry into the list were also mentioned just beside his entry.

It read, “White staged 25 consecutive sold-out UFC events in 2022, including a September 2022 bout in Paris that marked the league’s first-ever match-up in France, which legalized MMA fighting in 2019 after a 15-year ban on the sport.” It also listed some of White’s other achievements and future plans granting him the spot on this list.

The UFC’s massive popularity resulted in massive revenues for the organization. Multiple sold events and a huge fanbase all around the world also enabled the ‘Endeavor’ CEO, Ari Emanuel, to make it into the Variety500 list.

White was also joined by none other than the UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, on the Variety500 list. The former martial artist made his place on the list as the head of ‘Talking Monkey Productions’, the house behind his coveted podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’.

It gives a clear idea about the influence that ‘JRE’ has on the masses. Quite understandably, Rogan was provided a spot on the list.
