#1 AEW owner Tony Khan

It would be remiss to compile an AEW rich list without including the wealthiest person in the company. AEW owner Tony Khan is a legitimate billionaire, the first person to rival Vince McMahon's WWE in almost two decades. Since creating the company in 2019, Tony has won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Best Booker award once and the Promoter of the Year award twice. AEW's weekly shows have gained a loyal and passionate fanbase with consistent viewership, while PPVs and events regularly generate great income for the promotion.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Tony Khan is the son of Shahid Khan, one of the richest men in the world, whose company is one of the biggest automotive parts suppliers not just in the United States but throughout the globe.

While the younger Khan's wealth is shared with his father, the AEW owner's net worth is still almost three times the net worth of Vince McMahon, which is mind-boggling to say the least.

Starting with an initial 100 Million USD investment from his father, Tony Khan has been able to secure a 175 Million USD 4-year deal with WarnerMedia to air Dynamite. Tony Khan has made a risky 8-figure investment in video games that will keep the promotion at a loss for now. Regardless, Tony's wealth has allowed AEW to become a genuine disruptor in the pro-wrestling landscape.
