Despite years of experience inside the Octagon, several UFC competitors continue to discuss their financial woes. However, Charles Oliveira, who will meet Mateusz Gamrot this weekend at UFC Rio after Rafael Fiziev withdrew due to a knee injury, no longer falls under that group. The former lightweight champion has established not just a remarkable record inside the cage but also a wholesome lifestyle outside of it!

From his rags-to-riches rise in Brazil to his life being adapted into a feature film, ‘Do Bronx’ has evolved into more than simply a great fighter—he’s the pride of Brazil. Whether it’s endorsement deals, fancy automobiles, or foreign real estate, Oliveira’s name carries weight—and a pay check that proves it. So, ahead of his return to action at UFC Rio, let’s take a deep dive into his net worth, his lavish home, his cars, and his community impact!

Charles Oliveira’s Net Worth and UFC Career Earnings

The fighter from the favelas has now achieved a level of success deemed impossible during his Vicente de Carvalho days. According to several sources, his net worth is reported to be approximately $5 million, though this figure may soon increase when his biography comes out. For the unaware, Eduardo Ferro and 405 Films are developing the film, which will also feature Charles Oliveira in a minor role, marking his acting debut.

Oliveira’s earnings from the UFC have increased with each major event. While he had a few lower paydays in his earlier years, his highest paycheck came when he defeated Justin Gaethje at UFC 274, earning $1.73 million. Even in his loss against Islam Makhachev at UFC 280, he earned $1.75 million from pay-per-view points and incentives.

In 2024, ‘Do Bronx’ earned more than $1 million for defeating Michael Chandler and $1.37 million for his TKO victory over Beneil Dariush. Even in fights where he came up short, like against Arman Tsarukyan, his salary was roughly $771,000.

When these numbers are combined with locker room bonuses and promotional appearances, Charles Oliveira’s UFC career has been extremely lucrative, especially given where he began. So, how has this success translated to endorsements and his social media empire?

Endorsements and Social Media Influence

Brands love Oliveira’s story, a humble fighter who never forgot where he came from. His endorsements span from Venum, the UFC’s official outfitter, to regional Brazilian companies that partner with him for social causes and product campaigns.

‘Do Bronxs’ currently boasts 8.5 million followers on Instagram and is also the ambassador for OnlyF*ns, Roobet, and the Brazilian professional sports club based out of Sao Paulo, Corinthians.

There has also been discussion of him investing in local businesses, which could solidify his off-the-cage career alongside his Octagon legacy. He admitted years ago, “I’m not rich yet, but I will be.” Given the current state of affairs — fight purses, sponsorships, and now film projects—he may be able to cash in on that forecast very soon. But it’s at home where his personality truly shines, the house that mirrors his heart and history!

Inside Oliveira’s House in Guarujá: Family, Pets & Unique Features

A short look at Charles Oliveira’s current lifestyle reveals that he is enjoying the payoff. His home in Guarujá, Brazil, is more than just a house; it’s a full-on experience. In a recent interview, ‘Do Bronx’ joked that he lives in a small petting zoo. “I got a little bit of everything—horses, cats, birds,” he said.

It’s a long way from where he started, and he knows it. “To be able to live in a house like this, it’s amazing,” he continued with a smile. Among his pets is a ‘Cacatua’ cockatoo, one of his most prized companions, which he revealed cost him between $50,000 and $80,000. “I knew once I had the money for it, I’d get one, so now we got it,” he smiled.

His love for animals is just one layer of his home’s personality. Inside, Oliveira keeps mementos that celebrate his journey: fan art from around the world, a vintage McLaren F1 scale model, and an FC Corinthians jersey gifted by soccer star Vinicius Jr.

Outside, a section of the property is being turned into a fish pond, while exotic birds flutter freely in their enclosures. Fans who saw the tour couldn’t help but compare him to Mike Tyson, given his affection for animals and the joy they bring him.

Car Collection: Ferrari Portofino, Lamborghini Huracán, More

If you thought his house was impressive, wait until you see his garage. Charles Oliveira’s car collection is a gearhead’s dream come true. His prized possession is a Ferrari Portofino, a sleek 600-horsepower masterpiece that mirrors his grappling style, fast, precise, and undeniably flashy.

‘Do Bronxs’ also reportedly owns a Lamborghini Huracán, one of the most sought-after sports cars in the world. But beneath all the horsepower and luxury, Oliveira’s heart still beats for something deeper, his community.

Community Giving: Awards and Charity Work (2025)

In 2025, Charles Oliveira received one of the most meaningful honors of his life, the Forrest Griffin Community Award, presented by UFC boss Dana White. The award recognizes exceptional volunteer and charity work, and for Oliveira, it was more than just a plaque, it was proof that he hadn’t forgotten where he came from.

White stated, “Charles is not only a great athlete, but he’s also an amazing role model who enjoys giving back to the community, Charles does a great job of helping local youth in Sao Paulo by providing them with free education and jiu-jitsu training at his institute, and he’s directly helping them create a better life for themselves in the process. It’s an honor to present him with his award.”

Through his Charles do Bronxs Institute (ICBronxs), founded in 2012, Oliveira provides free education, nutrition, and jiu-jitsu training to hundreds of underprivileged youth in São Paulo. His inspiration? The very program that introduced him to martial arts as a child. In 2023, he opened a new training facility, and since then, over 150 students have graduated from his programs.

As such, from his luxury cars to his pet-filled mansion and his thriving gym-turned-social project, every success reflects the heart of a man who never stopped giving back.  Now, as he steps into the Octagon at UFC Rio against Mateusz Gamrot, Oliveira fights not just for victory, but for legacy!
