Amanda Nunes’ Net Worth, Epic Career, and Trajectory Toward Motherhood

July 7, 2020 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

Imagine getting to do the thing you love and making a fantastic living from it.

That is the ultimate measure of success and Amanda Nunes’ net worth shows she has accomplished it. As a UFC fighter, Nunes has had a record-setting career and is the reigning champion of both the women’s bantamweight and featherweight divisions.

Read on to learn about Amanda Nunes’ net worth, as well as insider insights into her childhood, personal life, trajectory toward motherhood and epic career in the Octagon.

Who Is Amanda Nunes?

No one gets to the top of the UFC without an unreal amount of hard work and training.

Born May 30, 1988, Amanda Nunes is a UFC fighter who grew up in Bahia, Brazil. Nunes started fighting early in her childhood, and ultimately, decided to pursue it as a career. She has fought professionally since 2008.

Today at 32 years of age, she is the first female fighter to become a two-division UFC champion and only the third fighter ever (of any gender) to hold titles in two weight classes at the same time.

In 2018, she knocked out Cris Cyborg in the 1st round of the fight to become the first female “champ champ” in history. Her belts are in the 135-pound (bantamweight) and 145-pound (featherweight) divisions.

She is also the first, and only, fighter in UFC history to defend two titles while being the reigning champ of both.

Impressively, Nunes also has:

  • The most wins in UFC Women’s Bantamweight division history
  • The longest winning streak in UFC history for a female fighter
  • The most knockout wins in the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Division
  • Most wins in UFC history for a female fighter

And a slew of other UFC accolades…

Becoming a UFC Fighter

Nunes grew up in Brazil with two older sisters who participated in jiu-jitsu, and her sisters thought Amanda should join. Her mother was also a boxer, and she saw Amanda’s interest in fighting.

She got her start as an MMA fighter in Brazil where she participated in six fights before heading to the United States. After moving to New Jersey for a short period, she settled on living in Miami.

Once she moved to Florida, she met her now wife, Nina Ansaroff. Nina is another female fighter for UFC.  The two started as sparring partners, but they ended up forming a relationship outside of fighting.

As their relationship grew, so did Nunes’ career as a UFC fighter. Over the years, she has won multiple titles and has become a champion in two divisions.

Not only is Nunes one of the best female fighters, but she’s one of the first openly lesbian fighters.

Amanda Nunes’ UFC Career

Without a doubt, Nunes’ hard work has helped her reach professional, personal, and financial success.

For obvious reasons, she is considered to be the greatest female MMA fighter of all time — and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. Period.

Fighting has been a part of Nunes’ life since she was a child, and she has turned that energy into a successful career.

In addition to her athletic success, her success in the UFC has brought her an impressive net worth at a young age.

Amanda Nunes’ Net Worth

As of 2020, Amanda Nunes’ net worth is estimated at more than $2 million. She earns money directly from UFC, but she also earns bonuses whenever she wins a fight.

Bonuses can come in from also winning Performance of the Night. Nunes’ popularity also means that she earns a lot from sponsorships.

UFC 250 occurred in June of 2020, and many fighters took home large paychecks. Nunes had the highest pay of the night, with a total of $450,000 in earnings.

She earned $350,000 and an additional $100,000 for winning against her opponent.

It’s also possible that Nunes earned even more that night, thanks to sponsorships or discretionary bonuses. If this occurred, her paycheck for the night could have crested toward $1 million.

Making Money as a UFC Fighter

The income from UFC Amanda Nunes earns comes in a few different forms. First, there’s her income for participating in a fight, and she earns a lot from that simply for her stats and past performance.

When she wins a fight, she also gets a bonus, which is her way of securing multiple flows of income. While any UFC fighter can make money in this way, Nunes has a record that helps her command a higher salary.

As a new fighter, she didn’t earn as much as she does now. It took time for Nunes to prove herself, and now’s she one of the top-paid fighters.

Unlike other sports and industries, UFC treats women and men equally. When it comes to earning more money, all that matters is a fighter’s track record.

And with a wife who also fights, Nunes’ family income has even more potential to grow. Ansaroff may not be a champion yet, but she’s also an exceptionally talented fighter.

Amanda Nunes’ Plans for the Future

Nunes has had a successful run with UFC and she could continue to grow her career. However, as of 2020, she is taking a step back from fighting to focus on raising a family.

She and her wife have a baby on the way, so she’s preparing for motherhood. On March 5, 2020, she posted to social media: “I wanna tell every single person on this planet that…. Raegan Ann Nunes will be here mid September! I cannot wait to see her. ❤️“

Given this life shift, Nunes is contemplating a longer break from fighting. She has had quite a career and is happy with where she is in her professional and personal life. Nunes is ready for a break to focus on family and has the financial resources to do so.

While it may feel like a stretch to reach Amanda Nunes’ net worth, you can both reach and surpass it if you learn how to invest. That is because a job creates income, but investments create multiple flows of income―which is the key to long-term wealth.

Fighting and Finances

Amanda Nunes’ net worth is one that many people dream of. However, Nunes worked her way to the top through grit, determination, and a fierce sense of purpose―and you can do the same in your own field of expertise.

Remember, Nunes has been fighting since she was a child and competing professionally for over 12 years. Her success was a journey and yours will be too.

“Growing up is the realization that you are both “Growing up is the realization that you are both the sculpture and the sculptor, the painter and the portrait. Paint yourself however you wish.” -Nicolas Cole

For me, growing up has been a process of learning to look inward. It is about “listening” to the clear signals from my body, which always knows the answer if I’m willing to hear it. 

My job is to listen and respond to that knowing. That to me, is emotional maturity.
