15 WWE Superstar Net Worths You Won’t Believe

Life

4. John Cena – $35 Million

John Cena has a staggering net worth of $35 million, which of course is a lot, but let’s be honest here, the guy is the top draw the company has. Whether it be selling merchandise or drawing in viewers, John Cena was and still is a complete draw for the company. He’s now expanding on his empire working with the WWE on a part-time basis, walking in the footsteps of The Rock and taking his talents to Hollywood.

Just getting started under the Hollywood lights, Cena has an entire other market to penetrate and at the age of 40 – he’s got a lot of time to do so. He’ll also continue to be a part of the WWE for quite some time. According to John, he’s not going anywhere, anytime soon. We can expect his net worth to be at $50 million in the not-so-distant future, especially with his WWE salary being close to $10 million.

3. Shane McMahon – $35 Million

Despite his lengthy hiatus from the WWE, Shane was still making a living investing in an On Demand service overseas. He would ultimately put his company days behind him and join the WWE in early 2016. His return was welcomed by the WWE Universe.

Shane hasn’t come cheap however. It has been reported that Shane makes a cool $2.2 million a year, and that’s a heck of a lot for a guy who’s in his 40s and someone that rarely wrestles. However, on the wrestling side of things, he’s earned his money by jumping off a cell alone, as not many have the guts to pull off such a stunt. It’ll be interesting to see how Shane’s role will evolve in the company moving forward with Stephanie and Triple H both being pegged as the next in line.

2. The Rock – $125-$150 Million

Who would have predicted that ‘The Great One’ himself would out-earn the likes of Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Johnny Depp. According to the 2016 figures, The Rock was labelled as the highest paid actor in the world with a cool $64.5 million in salary. The figure isn’t too hard to understand, in truth, Dwayne is the hardest working actor in all of Hollywood and he deserves all his good fortune.

Comparing his salary to the rest of the WWE isn’t even comparable. However, he does get out-earned by one certain individual which we’ll feature in the next entry. Regardless, The Great One continues to impress outside of the WWE, and the company can only hope that Cena can somehow walk in similar footsteps as Dwayne.

1. Vince McMahon – $1.36 Billion

Despite the fact that the WWE gets ripped constantly by the online universe for their on-screen product, Vince isn’t losing too much sleep due to the fact that WWE remains extremely profitable. Ratings have become a thing of the past for the company, especially with the rise of technology; the WWE isn’t losing much sleep over bad television ratings.

Instead, they continue to prosper as a worldwide brand, entering deals with several new countries. Say what you must about Vince’s creativity but in terms of business, he continues to kill it with no other wrestling company even coming close to the WWE. For that reason, proper competition remains a huge hurdle, unless a wealthy investor enters the picture, out of nowhere, kind of like an RKO… Still going strong and still very hands-on with the company, Vince isn’t going away anytime soon.
