No wonder he's walking to the ring smiling these days instead of his usual scowl from when he was poor.



edit: Wanderlei also owns his own company that sells MMA supplies (gloves, clothing, boxing bags, etc)
Plus he probably gets a cut of Chute Box earnings, and Chute Box probably gets a cut of other fighters purses like..Shogun.

Tito for sure is. Punishment athletics rakes in about a mill a year alone

Dana pulls down like 8 figures.

Oh, fighters? Just a few are millionaires. They don't do the hard work anyways, so they don't deserve the big bucks.

Just because they have made 7 figures, doesn't make them millionaires.

However:

Chuck
Tito
Shamrock (I think...didn't he have most of his money stolen by an accountant or something? regardless, he made a crapload for his recent UFC fights)
Royce
Sakuraba
Wandy
Hughes
Yoshida
Ogawa
Gomi ( i would assume)
Sapp
BJ Penn (or is that his parents money?)
Cro Cop
Fedor

Wand makes good money from fighting purses, sponsors, and his own company. He's loaded to the teats.
