It was once said that ‘Everyone has a price for the Million Dollar Man'. During the late 1970s and through the 1980s, Ted DiBiase carved a niche for himself, and fans still discuss him to this day. Whether it was his wrestling ability or his self-serving character, the man who created the Million Dollar Championship was memorable.

After DiBiase's career ended, his son, Ted DiBiase Jr., carried on the family name, and even took a little from his father's persona, acting as someone that was ‘born of privilege'.

What isn't as well known, is that Ted Sr.'s other sons Michael and Brett were also active wrestlers, though both retired even before their brother Ted Jr. did. However, what is little known is that Ted DiBiase's adoptive father was ‘Iron Mike' DiBiase, a professional wrestler who was also in the United States Navy, and wrestled as an amateur for the University of Nebraska.

And DiBiase's mother Helen Hild was also a wrestler, competing for promotions such as Mid-Atlantic Championship and NWA Mid-America, along with the World Wide Wrestling Federation.
