Okay, so the other day I got curious about Herb Dean, you know, the big guy refereeing all those UFC fights. He’s been around forever, seems like he must be doing alright for himself. So, I decided to try and figure out what his net worth might be.
First thing I did was grab my laptop, opened up my usual browser. Nothing fancy, just wanted to see what the internet had to say. Typed in something simple like “Herb Dean net worth” into the search bar and hit enter.
Right away, a bunch of results popped up. You get those usual celebrity finance websites, you know the ones. Clicked on the first couple that looked kinda credible, or at least popped up often.
Looking Through the Results
So, I started digging through these sites. One site said one number, another site gave a slightly different figure. It wasn’t like wildly different, but definitely not consistent. You see ranges, like:
- Site A: Maybe around X million.
- Site B: Closer to Y million.
- Some forum discussion: People guessing wildly, some high, some low.
It gets you thinking, where do they even get these numbers? Most admit they’re just estimates. They probably look at his long career, the high profile fights he gets in the UFC. Being the go-to ref for major events definitely pays well, I’d imagine. He’s been doing this for years, consistently.
I also considered other things. Does he do endorsements? Seminars? Maybe some other business stuff on the side? Didn’t find much concrete info on that during my quick search, but it’s possible.
Getting a General Idea
After clicking around for maybe 10-15 minutes, I realized you’re not going to find an exact, official number. It’s just not public information. These websites make educated guesses, I suppose. Some are probably better guesses than others.
So, what did I learn? Well, I didn’t get a precise dollar figure confirmed by Herb Dean himself, obviously. But based on the consistency of his work, his status in the MMA world, and the general consensus across a few different online sources, it’s safe to say he’s financially comfortable. The exact number? Hard to pin down for sure. It was an interesting little search, though, seeing how these kinds of estimations work online.
