Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant's net worth, as of July 2021, is estimated to be around $1 million according to MDDailyrecord and Wealthypersons.
VanZant is currently signed with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. She parted ways with the UFC after the last fight on her contract with the promotion at UFC 251. She was submitted by Amanda Ribas in her final appearance.
VanZant's split with the UFC had been many years in the offing. She stated on multiple occasions that she felt undervalued as an athlete in the promotion. In a 2019 interview with Ariel Helwani, she said:
"With endorsements, I make way more money sitting at home posting pictures on Instagram than I do fighting. With endorsement deals and everything I pull in from social media, I would actually be at a loss just taking a fight. If I were to stop everything I do outside of fighting and just fight, I would be at a loss unfortunately, by a long shot. So it’s just with TV endorsements, all the things I do, coming off of Sports Illustrated, it’s just like, if I’m going to keep breaking my arm, if I’m going to keep bleeding and sacrificing for this sport, I feel like it’s all fighters and all female fighters need to be recognized.”
