When you think of visionaries and multi-million-dollar empires in the world of sports, one name that comes to mind is Dana White. Over the last two decades, the UFC president has built the company into the biggest combat promotion in the world. Not only him, but superstars like Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, and Khabib Nurmagomedov have earned millions from the company. Meanwhile, reports suggest that the UFC president has gifted money almost equal to the salary of a UFC fighter to the bodybuilding heartthrob Sara Saffari. So, let’s delve into the details and find out how much he gifted to Saffari.
How much money did Dana White gifted Sara Saffari?
Sara Safari, the social media personality known for her bodybuilding content, who amassed over 2 million followers. Recently, she visited Las Vegas for the Powerslap event, a slap promotion where Dana White serves as the CEO.
Interestingly, when in Vegas, it’s no surprise to try some gambling, and she did just that. During a recent episode of the ‘Mommy and Daddy’ podcast, she discussed her gambling experience and also revealed how she received $10,000 from White.
Discussing her experience, she mentioned that while she had a successful gambling session and won a substantial amount, apart from that she also received $10,000 from Dana White and an additional $1,000 from SteveWillDolt. In her own words, “Yeah, 10,000 dollars from Dana. He gave me 10,000 dollars for my graduation gift, for graduating with my Masters. That’s 10,000 dollars.”
According to reports from The Sports Orbit, this amount which White gifted is huge, as the new fighters typically receive just a $12,000 base salary, aside of the additional earnings coming from incentives and bonus money. Indeed, seeing the reports of the recent payout Montserrat Conejo Ruiz, Eduarda Moura, and Kaue Fernandez will be getting $12k base salary.
