The UFC’s head honcho is quite capable of being a billionaire. Although criticized for paying his fighters a lot less than what they deserve, Dana White has shown off his wealth on multiple occasions, with bonuses and whatnot. However, the question remains: Is he really a billionaire?

Well, the UFC CEO recently revealed the answer to that question in an interview with Bill Maher, on his talk show, ‘Club Random Podcast’. White is one of those men with an old-school mindset that men do not reveal their bank balance. Due to this, the fans are left with no options other than to make calculated speculations. Now, these speculations have found an upper limit.

Dana White responds to the long-standing question

During the conversation on a recent episode of ‘Club Random’, Maher asked White if he wanted to get in a fight. After the CEO responded with a refusal, saying that he was “over the bulls**t!” Thereafter, the podcaster asked White if he was a billionaire.

The 54-year-old simply replied, “No, I’m not a billionaire.” But the talks didn’t stop there. Maher then opined that the bossman must be earning quite a lot, even if he was not a billionaire yet. White remained surprisingly humble. He answered, “I’ve done okay. Yeah, I’ve done very well.”
