10 of the richest WWE Superstars ever

WWE has had some exceptional talents work for them over the years, and some of them have gone on to find success outside the business as well. They have earned fame both in and outside the business, and the number of wrestlers who are successes is uncountable.

In this list, we will talk about the top ten richest WWE wrestlers of all time. Honorable mention goes to the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, both of whom are valued at $17 Million Dollars.

#10 Mick Foley

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Is Mick Foley one of the top wrestlers of all time? Many fans will argue that he is not a wrestler. In one aspect they will be correct as Mick's career has resembled more of a crash dummy than a human being.

However, what can be said with certainty is that Mick has put his body on the line to entertain fans from all around the world, and that is exactly what wrestling stands for.

One of the most extreme stars of all time, he will forever be remembered for falling from the top of the Hell in a Cell structure during his match against the Undertaker. He has taken more bumps than what can be possibly healthy, and he is still going.

His most recent run in WWE saw him as the General Manager of Raw. He is valued at $18 Million Dollars and is the tenth wrestler on this list.

#9 Chris Jehrico

Chris Jericho may be the most important wrestler of all time. He is not the most famous by any means, but what he has done in his career has a very little comparison. After an incredible career on the road, he came to WCW and featured as one of the best young talents. Finally, he made the shift to WWE in 1999 and immediately became one of the top contenders.

His work was amazing in the ring, and his feud with Shawn Michaels remains his best feud. The best thing about Y2J was his ability to innovate and change his character during every run in WWE. He also made history when he went to NJPW after not having wrestled in any company other than WWE for over 17 years. He main-evented the Wrestle Kingdom with Kenny Omega in one of the biggest moments of Wrestling.

Outside Wrestling, his band Fozzy also made waves and most recently recorded the chart-topping Single, Judas. He is currently valued at $18 Million Dollars.

#8 Big Show

Valued at $20 Million Dollars, The Big Show has been one of the most consistent wrestlers in WWE. Ever since he made the jump from WCW to WWE during the Monday Night Wars, The Big Show has featured almost regularly until recently.

He has been in a number of movies, but more than that, Paul White is famous for his time in WWE. Billed as the largest athlete in Sports Entertainment, The Big Show certainly lived up to his name, at 7 foot tall and 500 pounds. He was one of the top stars, though he hardly ever went for the Championship as his focus was almost always elsewhere. His feud with the Undertaker is one of the most memorable.

He made changes to his body recently having become conscious about the need for fitness and posted a photo of him with six-pack abs. His agility in the ring is surprising, and he is slated to make a return to the ring soon, even at this age.

#7 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is a money machine. That is what he is, and what he is identified as. But that is not all he is, as he is a terrifying personality as well.

Coming into WWE as the Next Big Thing, one look was all that was required for anyone to realize that Lesnar was meant for great things. One look and the fact that Paul Heyman told you. Lesnar looked fierce and was immensely strong, easily picking up the Big Show, and even hitting him with a superplex that would break the ring. His legitimate background helped him a lot, and his fierce speed and enthusiasm only added to his image.

After a time, he decided to leave WWE. He tried his luck in American Football and was not really successful there, but he then went to UFC. Here he added more reasons, as if we needed them, to be scared of him. His run in UFC and actually earning the UFC Championship is enough for him to be a nightmare to anyone. But his success in the UFC was not enough to keep him out of the WWE, as he made a return and made a show by dominating the likes of Cena. The Beast has truly become one of the humans that apparently cannot be beaten, and he is currently holding the WWE Universal Championship for almost a year.

After all this, it is no surprise, therefore, when we learn that Lesnar is valued at $22 Million Dollars.

#6 Hulk Hogan

A name that brings forth the image of a wrestling ring, there is something inseparable from Hulk Hogan that is wrestling. The Hulkster made wrestling a phenomenon back in the day with the help of Vince McMahon. The two of them created something that was huge, and a legacy that is almost impossible to surpass.

His impact on the wrestling business cannot be compared, and any wrestling fan who saw Hogan in his prime cannot forget his iconic tearing of the t-shirt along with the commentator shouting Hulkamania is running wild.

Hogan recently has become a more controversial success, and WWE has taken great pains to separate themselves from him in every way. Whether he returns or not what he was to wrestling in his prime remains unchanged, and because of the immense personality that he was, it is not surprising that he is tied with the next person on our list at $25 Million Dollars.

#5 Kurt Angle

The current Raw General Manager is also one of the highest paid people to have ever entered a wrestling ring. Kurt Angle may have become famous through WWE, where the theme is sports entertainment and not legitimate sports, but he is no slouch in that regard.

Angle first became famous when he won gold medals for the United States in the Olympics in wrestling with a broken neck. Vince McMahon did not waste any time in signing him, and Angle did not waste any time in making an impact inside the ring either. His impact on wrestling was undeniable and he brought something with him in WWE that added a great deal to each match he was a part of. Every match he took part in almost always became an instant classic, but his rematch with Shawn Michaels remains one of the best matches of all time.

Angle left WWE to have a long run in TNA, now known as Impact Wrestling. He made a mark there and was one of the best things about the promotion. His eventual departure hurt the company, but during his time, his matches with Samoa Joe and AJ Styles remains just some classics.

Now back in WWE, Angle has taken on a more personality role, but he is likely to enter the ring once again soon. Currently, he is valued at 25 Million Dollars by Celebrity Net Worth.

#4 Triple H

Paul Levesque, better known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, or Triple H is one of the top men in WWE. Though now he is a part-time wrestler, his role in WWE is far more important. The creator of NXT as we know it today, he is building the future of wrestling in the WWE developmental territory, somehow making it even more entertaining than the main roster.

He seems to be the front-runner to inherit the right to run WWE after Vince, and his future is connected with managing the company.

However, he also had a long successful career inside the ring. He first found success as part of the revolutionary group, D-Generation X, and then continued to develop into one of the most prolific stars. His intimidating 'Game' persona saw him find success as he built one of the best factions of all time with the Evolution. A number of his matches are underrated, and while he was no Shawn Michaels in the ring, he was no slouch. His hard work and dedication are best portrayed by the time that he tore his left quadriceps muscle completely, but continued the match and even got put in the Walls of Jericho, a submission move that puts considerable stress on the location of his injury. His ability to finish the match shows his sheer dedication, and that is why he is the fourth richest wrestler of all time at $40 Million Dollars according to Celebrity Net Worth.

#3 Stone Cold

A wrestler who was the face of the new WWE Attitude, Stone Cold helped Vince McMahon lead WWE into and to win the Monday Night Wars with WCW. His career as 'Stone Cold' still helps Vince and WWE to sell Austin 3:16 shirts out of the WWE Shop like hot pockets, so many years later.

The influence that Stone Cold had on the wrestling business can only be compared to that of Hulk Hogan earlier and Cena later, as all three defined a time in the field of Sports Entertainment and Wrestling. His feud with Vince McMahon introduced the concept of the Heelish Mr McMahon into WWE and kept the WWE Universe enthralled for the better part of 5 years. His popularity knew no bounds as the reception he received for WWE fans is just not something seen anymore. The fans cheered him on as he took on the evil boss, with the don't care attitude and Jeans shorts.

Stone Cold also starred in a number of movies, though he did not find the same success there. However, he remains one of the wealthiest wrestlers of all time at $50 Million Dollars according to Celebrity Net Worth.

#2 John Cena

John Cena is the star that current WWE fans will be extremely familiar with. Coming into the company at a time when times were changing, Cena has seen the changing of eras in WWE and was one of the faces to lead the company's roster to such a change.

One of the most popular wrestlers of all time and the face of the company for the better part of the last decade, Cena has achieved almost everything there is to achieve in wrestling. He has had some amazing matches in his past, including some of the incomparable quality against the likes of CM Punks, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and AJ Styles to name just a few. Having found success in WWE, in the later years of his career Cena is now focussing on branching out.

Seen in more and more films every day, it looks like Cena is set to follow in the footsteps of the Rock, and become the next star out of wrestling to have made it in Hollywood.

Currently, he is valued at $55 Million Dollars according to Celebrity Net Worth.

#1 The Rock

At this point, this is anything but a surprise. The Rock is one of the top stars of all time inside and outside of WWE. He has found success in every industry that he has been a part of.

Initially finding success in WWE as a third generation superstar, The Rock made his way in the world by pushing past any and all obstacles that were put in his way. One of the era-defining stars of the most critical time in WWE's history, The Rock quickly became literally the most electrifying superstar in WWE.

He then found success in films and was one of the most paid stars in Hollywood in the previous year. He is everywhere, and if you are going to see a movie, then the Rock is likely to be in it. The Rock is valued at $220 Million Dollars by Celebrity Net Worth, and he is the richest star to have ever wrestled in WWE.
