According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ronda Rousey has an estimated fortune of US$13 million. With that amount of cash, Rousey has splashed out on some fancy wheels more recently. But back in the day, the WWE star drove her Honda Accord around for years after returning from the 2008 Olympics, openly stating she slept in the car to save money. According to Hotcars, she sold the car on eBay for US$21,300 in 2015.

Now that she’s turned to farm life, Rousey has been spotted numerous times in a Ford F-350. There’s speculation that it is her husband, Travis Browne’s car, but considering the low profile Rousey has chosen, opting to live in a more sustainable way, it wouldn’t be surprising if they share the car.

Dariush made the surprise comment to Musk, saying he had ordered a Tesla for his wife six months prior to the fight and had still not received the car.

The fighter said he was a big fan of Musk’s but said it was “disrespect” to have to wait so long to get the car.

Musk heard about the comment and responded on Twitter, promising that delivery would happen soon.

The public call-out worked. A few days later the fighter’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, said the Tesla had been delivered.
