5 current AEW stars born in wealthy families

#2. AEW EVP Cody Rhodes

AEW EVP Cody Rhodes' inclusion feels only natural after his older brother already appeared earlier on the list. While only half-brothers, he was born into a fortunate situation where he was pretty well-off thanks to the monumental success of his father, Dusty Rhodes. Dusty was a massive draw in the NWA in the 80s with his rivalry against Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen generating a huge gate everywhere they performed. When you can draw audiences, you make money. Dusty did both.

And, like Dustin, Cody too has enjoyed a significant career following in his father’s footsteps. Since being released from WWE earlier this decade, Cody bounced back on the independent scene, joining The Elite and subsequently becoming the EVP of AEW, further securing his wealth. Cody's own earning power remains high, and his lineage is undeniable.
