JAKARTA – No one thought that UFC ring girl, Arianny Celeste, had more wealth than former two-division champion and octagon legend Amanda Nunes.
Celeste has been with the UFC since 2006 and won six Ringcard Girl of the Year awards at MMA World during her promotion.
In addition to being a ring girl, this 36-year-old woman has also modeled for Playboy, Sports Illustrated, and FHM magazines while working for the Dana White company. In addition, he also has an OnlyFans page.
The Wealthy Gorilla calculates that Nunes' net worth is US$4 million or Rp. 57 billion after nine years at the UFC. This means much less wealth than Celeste, who is worth 4.5 million US dollars (Rp. 64 billion), reports The Wealth Record.
Nunes is considered one of the greatest female fighters in history. He previously held the bantamweight and featherweight titles simultaneously.
She lost the bantamweight title against Julianna Pena at UFC 269 in December. However, it still holds featherweight gold.
Nunes earned 500 thousand dollars (Rp 717 million) in his defeat against Pena. But, now there is a possibility that he will step into the ring again to reclaim his belt.
Celeste also posed again for Playboy in November 2010. It went on to become the top seller of that calendar year.
Celeste has often defended ring girls over the wages they receive from the UFC after criticism from a number of top fighters. Ronda Rousey and most recently Khabib Nurmagomedov have been very vocal when it comes to ring girls in MMA.
Nurmagomedov even called them the 'most useless people' in sport last year. Celeste then used social media to respond to Nurmagomedov's criticism with a very strong statement.
"I've worked for over 15 years in the industry and learned it's easier not to care," she wrote on Instagram.
"For 15 years we have been more than just ring girls. We have dedicated time to promoting the UFC and showing love and time to our die-hard fans through world tours and personal appearances."
"And while the world is so different now, I can still feel that energy and love every time we put on a show with an audience," he continued.
