Ronda Rousey is making some serious bank, this we all know.
But we didn't know exactly how much that was until Forbes yesterday announced that she's earned $6.5 million dollars between June 2014 and June 2015. So that doesn't even include her most recent victory over Beth Correia.
Rousey stepped in the octagon twice between June 2014 and 2015, comfortably dispatching Alexis Davis in 16 seconds, before finishing Cat Zingano in an unbelievable 14 seconds. So we've got $6.5 million to go in 30 seconds. We won't lie, we used our calculators and came up with $216666.66 per second she was in there, which ain't a bad day's work.
Ronda's earnings are pretty evenly split between what she takes home fom the ring, and her endorsements outside of it. Last year she pocketed $3 million in fight purses and $3.5 million in endorsements for repping brands like sponsors Reebok, Metro PCS, Monster headphones, Buffalo David Bitton and Carl’s Jr.
Forbes' article made no mention of her pay from her Hollywood roles in Fast & Furious 7, or Entourage, so that could serve to bolster her year's takings even further, and we're sure next year's will even higher as she continues to grow in popularity within the sport, as well as in the mainstream media.
