Not sure why I haven't seen a thread on this. Such an interesting article. Some of it is shocking. TheRichest.com has a new article up listing the wealthiest professional wrestlers. Below is the list, and the article can be viewed here. www.therichest.com/sports/other-sports/top-10-wealthiest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time/10. Mick Foley- $15 million 9. The Undertaker- $16 million 8. Shawn Michaels- $17 million 7. Chris Jericho- $18 million 6. Kurt Angle- $20 million 5. The Big Show- $20 million 4. Triple H- $25 million 3. John Cena- $35 million 2. Steve Austin- $45 million 1. The Rock- $70 million |

I thought the Big Show was broke because of buying a mall and could not support his family? Are you telling me that was a fake storyline?!  In seriousness I find it hard to believe that Hogan is not on that list. At one point there was not a person in the world who did not know him...and there is a good chance that is even the same now. But that is an interesting list though. |

But that is an interesting list though. Hogan was on the list at one point. However, he lost the majority of his wealth during his divorce. Linda got 70% of the couples liquid assets and 40% of their business holdings. Hogan doesn't have to pay any type of alimony, but that's a big chunk to part with at one time. |

I'm kinda surprised to see Angle on that list.

I don't think you can really count The Rock, he earned the vast majority of his wealth from movies.

I'm surprised Big Show is on that list over someone like Orton or since they're counting The Rock, Batista

And once again The Rock is on top of a Top 10 list, same with the GOAT list too.

But that is an interesting list though. Before his divore, Hogan had something like $25 Million and now he is estimated to be around a fifth of that. I am more surprised that Lesnar isn't on this as he is estimated to have a net worth of $16 Million. |

Times have changed and so has minimum wage and what not.
Personally this list seems kinda fake to me.

Well either way, when Vince gives the WWE to Triple H when he dies, the Rock's name will be going straight to number 2 haha!

List makes sense. The Attitude Era was the biggest boom period for wrestling, most of the stars in the top 10 were the key people at that time.

I'm sure Steph and HHH got a prenump to make sure if anything happens to the marriage he gets nothing but a chunk of change. HHH will always be behind Steph unless when the company is handed to her she in turn hands it to him. |
