Frank was raised in “The Gambling Capital of the World” – Las Vegas, alongside his brother, and later business partner, Lorenzo, in a family of Sicilian Americans. His father Frank Fertitta Jr. was the founder and the owner of the gaming company Station Casinos, so it is no wonder that Frank became such a successful businessman.

Since 1992, when he, alongside his brother Lorenzo, officially took over the corporation from their father, Frank Fertitta III has been the Chief Executive Officer of the Station Casinos. All these accomplishments have provided the basis for his rather impressive overall net worth.

In 2001, Frank and his brother Lorenzo, alongside their childhood friend Dana White, purchased the declining fight club, mixed martial arts league – Ultimate Fighting Championship. Immediately after buying the UFC, the Fertitta brothers founded Zuffa LLC, an entity which now runs the league. Frank Fertitta III, with his business skills, has managed to expand the enterprise quickly – in just a few years, Zuffa acquired the World Extreme Cagefighting and Pride Fighting Championships.
