5 WWE Superstars whose salaries will shock you

#1. Brock Lesnar - $12 million

The Beast is WWE's highest paid star

Some of you might be shocked to see the difference in salary between Brock Lesnar and all of the names mentioned earlier. But the equation in wrestling is simple, you get paid what you earn the company. And the WWE earns the company a lot of money.

Just his mere presence can elevate an event. As a result, despite appearing on WWE television sporadically, Brock Lesnar gets paid multiple times more than most of the roster.

Although the hardcore fans might not like his part-time run, it is undeniable that he garners a lot of mainstream attention towards the WWE. Vince McMahon is a highly successful businessman and he would not pay somebody millions of dollars if he was not making the money back multiple times over.

While it may seem unfair to see the wage gap between Brock and the rest of the talent, at the end of the day the WWE is just doing what's best for business!
