Forbes says Michael Buffer is worth more than 120 million dollars.
That will be his net worth, assets etc. he won't have been paid that much, he doesn't have that in the bank, I bet he has all sorts of properties and stocks etc though. A million a show is more than what most of the fighters he announces get after expenses.
How many fights does he call a year? 10? 20? Maybe he gets a million a year.
Years ago, right during an HBO ppv broadcast, Larry Merchant was talking about what a rich man Michael Buffer had become just over that one line.
Buffer is worth over $100 million because he trademarked "lets get ready to rumble" which has been used about a billion times in Movies, TV, Music, Video games, commercials etc
His actual fee per fight is a reported $15-30,000 range with expenses. Considering he gets that dozens of times a year it's pretty obvious he's effing loaded.
($1million per gig would be more than the purses for most fights he announces)
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
That's what I'm saying!
15-30k sounds more like it and you're right, he owns 'let's get ready to rumble'.
He must do a few lines before he announces, the ammount of times he gets it wrong or trips over his own tongue are quite funny
