Anderson Silva Net Worth and Salary: Anderson Silva is a Brazilian Mixed Martial Artist who has a net worth of $8 million. Also known in the sporting world as “The Spider,” Anderson Silva has become one of the most successful fighters in mixed martial arts. He held the UFC Middleweight Title for longer than any other fighter and is considered by many to be the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Early Life: Anderson da Silva was born on April 14th of 1975 in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Anderson did not grow up in an affluent family, and he was raised by his aunt and uncle. He learned jiu-jitsu by practicing with other children in his neighborhood. Eventually, he trained in forms such as capoeira, muay thai, and taekwondo. Before becoming a professional fighter, Anderson Silva worked at McDonald’s. He also worked as a file clerk. Career: Anderson Silva’s first professional fight was in Brazil. He won one fight in 1997 in the welterweight category, and then followed up with another win. After a loss in the year 2000, Silva won his next 9 fights. He also generated buzz by becoming the first fighter to best Hayato Sakurai. His victory against the Japanese fighter led to his participation in Pride Fighting Championships, a Japanese-based organization. During his time with Pride, Silva defeated fighters such as Carlos Newton and Alex Stiebling. However, a crushing loss to Daiju Takase almost made Silva quit MMA. After a victory against Jeremy Horn, Silva joined Cage Rage. In Cage Rage, Silva beat Lee Murray before returning to Pride for his last fight with the organization. A loss against Ryo Chonan meant that he was cut from Pride. He beat Tony Fryklund before being disqualified for kicking a downed opponent in his fight against Yushin Okami. In 2006, Anderson Silva signed with the UFC. He made his debut with a stunning knockout victory against Chris Leben just 49 seconds into the first round. He followed this up with an equally convincing victory against Rich Franklin, claiming the middleweight title. After successfully defending his title against fighters such as Nate Marquardt and Dan Henderson, Silva moved up to light heavyweight to defeat James Irvin. In 2008, Anderson Silva fought Patrick Côté in what was the first in a line of disappointing fights. Although he won, fans were annoyed to see Silva intentionally avoiding contact with his opponent throughout the fight. He did the same against Thales Leites, drawing ire from both fans and Dana White. In 2009, Silva beat Forrest Griffin in a more satisfying manner, winning “Knockout of the Night.” In 2010, Anderson Silva caused embarrassment for the UFC yet again when he taunted his opponent and circled the octagon without engaging. Although he eventually won, the fans started to side with his opponent, Demian Maia, who was at least trying to engage in the fight. Later that year, Silva experienced more of a challenge when he fought Chael Sonnen, who repeatedly struck Silva and took him down time after time. Fortunately for Silva, he was able to escape with a submission to claim the victory. Silva followed up with victories against Vitor Belfort and Yushin Okami. He continued to win throughout 2012, but his unstoppable reputation was destroyed when he lost to Chris Weidman. Silva once again started to showboat in the second round before being knocked out by the underdog. The rematch also went badly for Silva, and the Brazilian fighter suffered serious fractures to his left leg after Weidman checked his leg kick, ending the fight. The injury required extensive surgery and would take months to heal. Silva won his first fight after returning to the UFC in 2015, but he later tested positive for numerous illegal substances. After being suspended for this offense, Silva faced Michael Bisping 2016. He lost the fight in a unanimous decision. He lost again against Daniel Cormier in 2016 but turned it around with a win against Derek Brunson in 2017. In 2019, Silva lost against Israel Adesanya and Jared Cannonier, signaling that his career was coming to an end. As of 2019, Anderson Silva’s fights have generated almost 10 million PPV sales. Fighting Style: Anderson Silva is considered one of the best strikers in UFC history – perhaps the best. Silva has an uncanny ability to dodge most (if not all) of his opponent’s strikes – at times taunting his opponent in the process. Silva went through much of his early UFC career relatively unscathed because of this elusiveness. While Silva avoids getting hit, he also strikes his opponent with incredible efficiency and accuracy. The vast majority of his strikes find their mark. He also transitions well through movement and can switch from southpaw to orthodox stances with no drop in performance. While Silva is considered to be better at striking than on the ground, he has submitted some of the best wrestlers in the UFC. Endorsements: Anderson Silva has endorsement and sponsorship deals with a variety of brands and organizations. This includes the sports marketing company 9INE, the Corinthians soccer team in Brazil, and Burger King. He was previously sponsored by Nike before they left the UFC. Personal Life: Anderson Silva has five children with his wife. He became a US citizen in 2019. Although many have called him the best “pound-for-pound” fighter in UFC history, Silva has stated that he believes that honor should go to B.J. Penn, his personal friend. Anderson Silva also has a passion for comic books.

James Hetfield Net Worth: James Hetfield is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter who has a net worth of $300 million. James Hetfield is most famous for being the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the popular heavy metal band, Metallica. He is also one of band’s founding members along with drummer Lars Ulrich. Early Life: He was born James Alan Hetfield on August 3, 1963, in Downey, California. His mother was an opera singer and his father was a truck driver. His parents divorced when he was 13. The family was very strict Christian Scientists and therefore did not use modern medicine, even when his mother was dying of cancer. Cynthia succumbed to cancer in 1979 when James was 16 years old. This pain, along with other difficult childhood memories, would later fuel many of Metallica’s lyrics. Hetfield got his first taste of music in his childhood after taking piano lessons. By the time he turned fourteen, he realized that playing rock music was his true calling. He was in a few bands including Leather Charm and Obsession. Meanwhile, Lars Ulrich moved from Denmark to Newport Beach, California in 1980. Despite being a ranked tennis player back in Denmark, Lars failed to make the team at his high school. This failure was what finally inspired Lars to focus fully on drumming. Metallica: In June of 1981, Lars placed an ad in an LA newspaper called The Recycler that stated he was looking for other metal fans to form a band. James Hetfield was one of two people that responded to the ad. They met and began to play together. On October 28, 1981 they two officially formed Metallica. Metallica released its first album in 1983. They would eventually win nine Grammys and sell more than 125 million albums worldwide. To date they have released 10 studio albums, four live albums, three extended plays and 39 singles. James was ranked #24 in Hit Parader magazine’s list of “Top 100 greatest vocalist of all-time”. Metallica’s most successful album so far is their 1991 self-titled release “Metallica” which is also known as the black album. This album has sold 16 million copies in the United States and 24 million worldwide. Their 1988 release “…And Justice for All” has sold 5.3 million copes. Their 1996 album “Load” has sold 5.1 million copies. Hetfield has had many successful singles with Metallica including “One”, “Enter Sandman”, “The Unforgiven”, “Nothing Else Matters”, “Until It Sleeps”, “Turn the Page”, “I Disappear”, and many more. To this day, Metallica is one of the highest-earning bands in the world. If they are on tour, they are known to generate $50-100 million in revenue from tickets, merchandise and more. For example, between July 2018 and July 2019, the band generated $70 million in revenue. Personal Life: James has been married to Francesca Tomasi since August 1997. They have three children together. James has struggled with alcohol over the years. He entered a rehab program in 2001 for the first time. He re-entered rehab in 2019. James is an avid hunter and fisher. He also customizes cars and motorcycles. Real Estate: For much of his life, James Hetfield and his family lived in Marin County, California. In 2016, the Hetfields moved to Vail, Colorado after years of being displeased by the local liberal politics and attitudes. On an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, James explained how he was sick of getting dirty looks from neighbors when he returned home from a hunting trip. He found their attitudes hypocritical since none of these people would hesitate to buy a steak from a store. He has since found a much more accepting home in Colorado. James still owns an extremely valuable real estate portfolio back in Marin County that at one point included thousands of acres of open land. He purchased 1,150 acres of rural property six miles from George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch in 1999, forming what he dubbed “Rocking H Ranch”. In 2008 James caused controversy when he erected a 300-foot fence across part of his land that blocked bikers and hikers from a popular trail that traversed his property. The county then spent $650,000 erecting a new trail which became known as 680 Trail to give visitors an alternative connection between two popular recreation areas. As a concession, he donated 330 acres of his and to the local community. In 2011 the Hetfields submitted plans to build four single-family homes on his property, each between 5,000 and 8,000 square-feet on 10-acre lots. Over the years James has donated chunks of his land to various non-profit land trusts. For example, in 2017 the Hetfields donated 240 acres for an agricultural conservation. In February 2018 they donated 1,000 acres of open land to the Marin Agricultural Land Trust. As of this writing, the Hetfields own around 50 acres of their original 1,150 property, having donated the rest to charity. Outside of Marin County and Vail, they own a large property in Maui, Hawaii.
