Nate Diaz was raised in California, with his older brother Nicolas Robert “Nick” Diaz, who is also a mixed martial artist and former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion and WEC Welterweight Champion. Under the influence of his brother, Nate decided to make a career in the same sport, but before that he attended Tokay High School, and when he was 14 years old started training with Nick. After graduation, they together founded a Brazilian Jiu Jitscu school in their hometown, and Nate became a student at the Plaza Robles Continuation High in Stockton.
Nate Diaz’s professional career as a mixed martial artist began in 2004, but his first title came in 2007, winning the fifth season of the Ultimate Fighter, which featured only lightweight fighters. On his way to the title, Nate defeated fighters such as Rob Emerson, Corey Hill, Gray Maynard, and in the finals Manvel Gamburyan. Afterwards, he joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and slowly built his career, and also his net worth. Currently, he is 7th fighter overall in official UFC lightweight rankings.
Nate has a current record of 18 wins and 10 losses, and some of those wins include accomplishments such as Submission Of The Night five times, against fighters Alvin Robinson, Melvin Guillard, Takanori Gomi, Kurt Pellegrino, and Jim Miller, then Knockout of the Night, against Gray Maynard. Furthermore, he has six times Fight Of The Night, against such fighters as, Clay Guida, Marcus Davis, Michael Johnson, Donald Cerrone, Joe Stevenson, and Alvin Robinson. His net worth has increased during his career mostly because of the contracts he has signed with fighting leagues, and on account of that he fought in WEC, Strikeforce, as well Pancrase, which is held in Japan.
To speak further of his accomplishments, he is 8th on the list of most Career Submission Attempts with 20, and he is in the second spot of the most wins by submission, of which he has eight, and is tied with fighters Frank Mir and Kenny Florian. Nate also holds 2nd place for the most Post-Fights Bonus Awards, with 12 of them.
Additional to his career, Nate Diaz appeared in the documentary on the sport of mixed martial arts, entitled “Fight Life”, alongside his brother Nick Diaz, Gilbert Melendez, and Jake Shields. The film was directed by James Z. Fend and released in 2013; it has won the United Film Festival award in the category of Best Documentary. This also added to his overall net worth.
When it comes to Nate Diaz’s personal life, he keeps it very private, except for the fact that he still lives in Stockton, California, and in his free time enjoys listening to Led Zeppelin and Eminem.

Tiger Woods Net Worth
Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods was born on 30 December 1975 in Cypress, California USA, of part-Chinese, and African- and Native- American (father) and Thai (mother) descent. He is one of the the world’s highest earning sportsmen, a professional golfer who was ranked number one in the world for a total of 545 weeks between in 1997 and 2010, and then for another 60 weeks in 2013-14, the most of any golfer, and during which period he won 119 tournaments on the PGA and European tours.
So just how rich is Tiger Woods? Regardless of the fact that Woods’ divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren (former Swedish model), cost him $100 million dollars – including $54.5 million in mortgage payment finalised in January 2016 – authoritative sources estimate that Tiger’s net worth is now still over $770 million, accumulated from golf prize money of around $160 million, and the rest from endorsements during a 20 year career, totalling overall more than $1.3 billion.
Tiger Woods Net Worth $770 Million
Encouraged by his father Earl, Tiger became a child golfing prodigy, already at the age of 3 putting against comedian Bob Hope. He was called on TV shows and published in Golf Digest magazine. He won age group events around the world from the age of eight, and being a 15 year-old teenager he became the youngest US Junior Amateur champion. He was educated at Western High School, Anaheim, but golf was his priority, and at 20 (1996), he became the first in golf history to win three consecutive US Amateur titles, while (apparently) studying at Stanford University.
Tiger then turned professional, and immediately signed multi-million dollar contracts with famous companies such as Nike and Titleist. Next year Woods won his first ‘major’, the US Masters, and achieved number one world ranking, the youngest and the fastest to get to that position. The list of his winnings is endless and achievements too many to mention, but apart from aforementioned 79 victories in the USA and Europe – only Sam Snead has won more(82) – he has won two Japan Golf Tour events, an Asian Tour event, one PGA Tour of Australasia event, as well as 21 titles as an amateur. Of particular significance is that Tiger has won 14 ‘major’ titles, second only behind Jack Nicklaus(18), which has included the ‘grand slam’ of golf three times. In addition, he had been awarded PGA Player of the year 11 times and the Byron Nelson award eight times. There can be no doubt that Tiger Woods has earned his net worth.
Woods is considered the most successful player of all times, partly because of his winning record, but also because he is the first and the only golfer to have earned more than a billion dollars. This fortune was made not only by playing golf, but also by signing very lucrative contracts with companies such as Rolex, General Motors, American Express, and Gatorade apart from Titleist and Nike, and becoming an ambassador for Gillette. Moreover, the businesses of Tiger Woods Foundation which promotes golf, and Tiger Woods Design which is involved with golf courses development, are also very profitable. The athlete is a published writer with “How I Play Golf” as well, which has brought him steady income from 1.5 million copies sold. He has also written a column for the magazine “Golf Digest’ – presumably both added to his net worth.
Following his very public divorce from Elin Nordegren who he married in 2004 – they divorced in 2010 and have two children – also involving details of infidelity over the years, Tiger Woods dated Olympic Games skiing gold medallist Lindsey Vonn for a couple of years, but apparently no more. He was raised a Buddhist, and professes to still follow the teachings.
