10 Richest WWE Superstars Ever

#3 Stone Cold Steve Austin - $45 Million

And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so!

Stone Cold's run as the top guy in the WWE was actually far shorter than most people remember. He first won the WWF Championship in 1998 and by 2002 he was struggling to keep up with a full-time wrestling schedule. Ultimately in 2003, he retired at Wrestlemania 19 against The Rock.

Yet in that short window of time, Stone Cold Steve Austin raised more hell and made more money than most wrestlers ever will. His climb to the top of the wrestling mountain helped usher in the most successful period in pro wrestling history, The Attitude Era.

His rivalry with Vince McMahon was pure gold. He connected with the common man like nobody has ever managed to do so in wrestling and as a result earned millions just through the sales of his iconic 'Austin 3:16' t-shirts.

Since retiring from wrestling he has acted in movies, hosts his own podcast and has his own brand of beer. Unsurprisingly, he has managed to amass a gigantic wealth over the years.
