Michael Buffer is a ring announcer and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $400 million. Buffer is world-famous for his signature catchphrase "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" which kicks off all major boxing events. He is known for being one of the greatest ring announcers for boxing and wrestling matches of all time.
Born in the South Philadelphia neighborhood of Pennsylvania, Buffer was raised by foster parents (a school bus driver and a housewife), in Roslyn, Pennsylvania, after his parents divorced when he was 11 months old. Johnny Buff, Buffer's grandfather, was a professional boxer who won the bantamweight world title from 1921 to 1922. He served in the United States Army at the age of 20 and served until he was 23 years old during the Vietnam War. He worked as a car salesman before beginning a modeling career at the age of 32 and becoming a ring announcer at the age of 38. Due to his fame in the 1980s, he was finally reunited with his birth father and introduced to his half-siblings, including fellow ring announcer, Bruce Buffer.
