Ronda Rousey has an estimated net worth of $500 thousand
Ronda Rousey is an American mixed martial artist and judoka with an estimated net worth of $500 thousand. Rousey is 5’6″ and weighs 135 pounds. Ronda Jean Rousey was born on February 1, 1987 in Riverside County, California. She is the first UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and is generally considered the best pound-for-pound female MMA fighter in the world. Rousey’s mother was an accomplished judo practitioner having won a World Judo Championship in 1984, the first American to do so. Rousey grew up in North Dakota and followed in her mother’s footsteps. At 17, she qualified for the 2004 Olympic Games, shortly after winning a Gold Medal at the 2004 World Junior Judo Championships.
Her success in Judo continued after her first Olympics as she became the first American in almost a decade to win an A-level tournament in 2006. After moving up in weight categories she won the silver in the 2007 World Judo Championships and again competed at the Olympics, this time in Beijing. But learning from her past missteps, she won the Olympic Bronze Medal, the first ever American to medal in women’s judo.
After reaching what had been the pinnacle of judo for an American, Rousey returned to the United States intent on crafting a career for herself in the burgeoning field of female MMA. She won her first fight as an amateur and continued undefeated until she turned pro in 2011. She was the first and only UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and the last Strikeforce Champion in the same category. She is undefeated and has won all 7 of her pro fights through arm bar submissions. Her star continues to rise as she has posed naked on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s 2012 Body Issue, was listed as 29th on Maxim’s Hot 100 and continues to garner significant sponsorship deals.
