Tito Ortiz has an estimated net worth of $15 million

Tito Ortiz is an American mixed martial artist with an estimated net worth of $15 million. Ortiz is 6’2 and weighs 206 pounds. Jacob Christopher “Tito” Ortiz was born on January 23, 1975 in Huntington Beach, California. Ortiz had a challenging childhood with both his parents addicted to drugs as he was involved in gang activity, was incarcerated in juvenile hall and experimented with drugs himself. He found a temporary safe haven in high school when he began to wrestle and won championships. After high school, however, he was kicked out of the house and forced to live with a brother while working labor jobs and getting hooked on methamphetamines. He would eventually attend junior college and win state championships in consecutive years and then transferring to California State University where he continued wrestling.

Even before finishing college, Ortiz was attracted to the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) and mixed-martial arts. He competed in his first event, UFC 13 in 1997 while still in school and as an amateur. He showed immediate promise, winning his first and coming close to winning his second fight. After continuing to improve he got his first shot at a championship bout in 1999 but lost to Frank Shamrock, who retired after the fight. The vacancy gave Ortiz another chance and he defeated Wanderlei Silva for the title in 2000. He was the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion from 2000 to 2003 defending the title a record five times. Ortiz would lose the title in September 2003 in a fight with Randy Couture.

Ortiz would continue to be a prominent figure in the sport over the next decade, both with UFC and other promotions. He would also try professional wrestling and his mass appeal led to several acting roles in movies like Zombie Strippers (2008), The Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005) and on television on shows such as MADtv and CSI:NY. Ortiz was married and has a son with his former wife. After separating, he started a high profile relationship with adult actress Jenna Jameson and the couple had twin boys.
