5 current WWE Superstars who were born into wealthy families

#3. WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler

WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler was also born into a financially well-off family. The former world heavyweight champion attended a private all-boys high school in Ohio, where he practiced amateur wrestling. The 41-year-old then enrolled at Kent State University, where he studied pre-law and political science.

Ziggler disclosed in an interview with Carroll County Times a few years ago that his future was all planned out. However, everything changed when he received an opportunity to join WWE.

"I did have a plan to go to law school. I was actually going to go to law school at Arizona State while I went to wrestling school at night. And it didn't work out, because I was lucky enough to get an opportunity with WWE before I did any of that, so I canceled those plans," he said.

Ziggler joined WWE in 2004 and has been with the company ever since. Over the past 17 years and has won several titles, including two World Titles, two United States Championships, and six Intercontinental Titles.

The former United States Champion is currently active on Monday Night RAW. He recently defeated Damian Priest via disqualification on the December 20 episode of the Red Brand.
