White recently shared some life advice with viral street photographer Peter Fouad, who goes around asking for life advice from famous personalities. White says if someone is unhappy when they are broke, they will likely be unhappy even when they are rich. White advises people to find something they like doing and try to be happy doing it every day. The UFC head honcho claims some of the happiest times of his life were when he was broke.
‘Money Changes Everything’
“If you’re miserable when you’re broke, you’re gonna be really miserable when you make some money,” White said. “The key to life is be happy. Figure out what you like to do, get up and do it every day, and be as happy as you can possibly be. Some of the happiest times of my life was when I was broke. Money changes everything, I think. Not always [for the better]. If you’re happy when you’re broke, you should be happy when you have some money.”
White started from humble beginnings, initially working as a fitness boxing instructor. White later started managing fighters and took over UFC with the Fertitta brothers when the company was about to go bankrupt. White is given the lion’s share of credit for building the UFC into a multi-million dollar empire. White’s net worth in 2025 was approximately $600 million, according to Forbes.
