Dana White has been on vacation in Italy for the past week, but that didn’t stop him from taking a quick break from his break to stump for Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention.
White has stood by Trump over the past few difficult years as court cases continue to pile up for the former US president. No matter what salacious headlines were in the news, Trump was always welcome at UFC events, where he’d get VIP treatment.
That led to White getting his own VIP placement on the RNC speaker list: he introduced Trump on the final night of the conference. During the speech, he shouted out his family for letting him disappear from their vacation. Considering the accommodations he left them with, we’re sure they’ll understand.
Dana White left vacation yesterday morning, going from boat to helicopter to private jet so he could get to Wisconsin to introduce Donald Trump at the RNC.
The 377-foot yacht costs $2.8 million for the week — and he’s back less than 48 hours later.

White’s Instagram featured a story showing him back in Italy and getting helicoptered to a 377-foot superyacht on the Mediterranean Sea. Not White’s yacht, though. The frugal UFC CEO merely rented the massive vessel for a cool $3 million.
That’s the kind of money you can make and spend when you build a business like UFC up from a money pit to a point where you can sell it for $4 billion. White made out pretty good on that sale even though he owned just 10% of UFC at the time. Imagine how much money he’ll make when he eventually sells Power Slap, which he says is already worth $450 million.
