Jon Jones recently gave a rare look into his life and financial success during an interview with YouTuber Alex Gonzalez. The conversation took place in a Bugatti worth five million dollars, setting the tone for a discussion about wealth and ambition.
Jon Jones Details His Opulent Lifestyle
Jones, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, revealed that he has set high standards for what it takes to get him out of the house. He shared, I barely leave my house for anything less than one hundred thousand dollars. These words underline the level of success Jones has achieved in his career.
“It’s just falling in my hands these days, and I’m grateful for it. I’m making really good money, doing really, really silly things, you know,” Jone said. “Show up to a party for half an hour for a hundred thousand dollars, sign a few items for a hundred thousand dollars. I barely leave my house for less than a hundred thousand dollars these days. It just comes left and right, and I’m just grateful for it.”
Although he has had disputes in the past with the UFC regarding his pay, Jones now enjoys financial stability. During the interview, he reflected on advice he once received from UFC President Dana White. White assured him that he would never have to worry about money again. Jones called this a blessing and admitted that he no longer fights solely for financial reasons.
I do not need to fight for money anymore, Jones shared. But it is still a big part of what keeps me motivated.
“I feel like I have enough money now to have a great life for the rest of my life and for my kids to have a great life,” Jones added. “Maybe even my grandkids. So, money’s a motivator. Most people lie when they say they weren’t motivated by money. But I’ve also been doing the UFC work out of love too. I really love making money, I really love what I do. I really love writing my name in the history books and being the guy who will be able to live forever through UFC record books, and that means a lot!”
Jones also talked about balancing his love for the sport with the rewards it has brought him. As one of the highest-paid athletes in the UFC, he emphasized that financial freedom has allowed him to focus on building a lasting legacy.
For Jones, his journey is about more than just earning large sums. It is about leaving an impact both in and out of the octagon. With his future plans yet to unfold, the champion has made it clear that his ambition remains as strong as ever.
Jon Jones once again proved why he is one of the greatest fighters in UFC history by successfully defending his heavyweight title at UFC 309. Jones secured a dominant TKO victory over former champion Stipe Miocic, solidifying his position at the top of the division.
While fans eagerly anticipate what is next for Jones, one potential matchup seems to be in the spotlight. A unification bout with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is on the radar, but Jones appears uncertain about taking the fight.
During post-fight discussions, Jones expressed hesitation about a clash with Aspinall, though he did not entirely rule it out. Aspinall, who claimed the interim title with a stunning performance earlier this year, has quickly risen through the ranks and is viewed as a strong contender.
UFC President Dana White weighed in on the situation, noting that a Jones vs. Aspinall showdown makes sense for the division.
