15 WWE Superstar Net Worths You Won’t Believe

Life

7. Chris Jericho – $18 Million

The fact that Chris Jericho has a higher net worth than Taker and Mick Foley really tells you about his longevity in the business which is often under-looked. Starting on the indies in the early 1990s, Chris would make a name for himself during his brief ECW stint in 1995. He transferred his talents to WCW but would really make a name for himself inking a deal with WWE in 1998.

Two decades later, Chris is still going strong with the company, working a part-time schedule due to his commitment to his band Fozzy. Nonetheless, when he returns to WWE, Jericho works a full-time schedule which is truly something, given the fact that he’s inching closer and closer to his 50s at the age of 46 (turning 47 on November 9th). Without a doubt, Jericho has enough cash to call it a career, but why retire when you’re performing at such a high level?

6. Brock Lesnar – $22 Million

We now turn our attention to the heavy hitters in the article who have a net worth of $20 million or higher. As of 2016, Lesnar was the top earner with the WWE, making $12 million a year along with his own flight accommodations. Yeah, Lesnar’s truly living the luxury life with such terms in his contract.

He’s also made money with the UFC, taking part in various fights, however most of the money he’s collected is in large part thanks to the WWE and their aggressive way of business giving Lesnar a contract offer he simply could not refuse. Given his limited schedule, it seems like highway robbery that he’s making such money but again, when you’re a draw, you make money no matter how many days a year you work.

5. Triple H – $25 Million

When you consider the many hats Triple H wears with the company, his salary might even be a little too low. Hunter makes close to $4 million a year. His duties come in different forms such as an on-screen talent, Executive in the boardroom and of course, the brain child behind WWE’s developmental brand, NXT.

His responsibilities will only continue to pile up the older Vince gets. One thing we know for sure is that when the time comes for Hunter to take over, you can expect the WWE to be in good hands under his watchful eye. Hunter has proved his abilities down in NXT and most fans are excited to see that translate onto the main roster one day. Who knows, under H’s guidance, Raw might even revert to its old format of a two hour program.
