$3 million UFC star Alex Pereira launches renovation for first-ever social project: "Starting the transformation"

The net worth of Alex Pereira was estimated at approximately $3 million to $5 million in March 2025. The same Pereira is known for being brutally intimidating in an octagon, but outside the fight game, has a compassionate humanitarian side, contrary to expectations.

'Poatan' left no stone unturned in the quest to bring thousands of dollars for aid and treatment to Brazilian families when the Zika virus hit Brazil in 2017. His success story was not conceived in one night but came after a considerable time and toil, as the Brazilian has worked at a tier shop to mainstream some provision for his family after being born into an underprivileged household.

Recently, Pereira shared an Instagram story about his first social project. With the details yet to be revealed, Pereira wrote:

"Starting the renovation of the place where my first social project will take place".
