Dana White, born on July 28, 1969, is one of the highest-paid entrepreneurs in combat sports history, with an amassed net worth of an estimated $500 million. In January 2001, White's childhood friend Lorenzo and his elder brother Frank purchased the UFC for $2 million, leading to its status as a subsidiary of Zuffa. As a result of the acquisition, White took on the role of the company's president.
He entered the fighting business with aspirations of being a boxer but changed his path after concerns about neurodegeneration. Threatened by mobster Whitey Bulger, White made Las Vegas his home in the early 1990s. In Vegas, he continued running gyms, trained jiu-jitsu and became a manager for Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.

Dana White III

His career path is interesting as his dad has always considered football as a dangerous sport. However, when it comes to his son, he takes a step back as he sees his son's passion for the game.

"He loves football. It’s literally his passion,” said White, the father. “The way I feel about fighting is the way he feels about football."
"The key to life is figuring out what you love to do, then just do it. It’s really that simple. One big problem in life is people spend so much time trying to figure out what they love, where they fit. He knew since he was a little kid."
In the piece, Dana III mentions how he looks up to his dad’s success story for motivation -
"My dad didn’t grow up a privileged kid at all, All his life he just wanted to be successful. He just worked his butt off. I really look up to my dad, from where he started to where he is now."
