#3: Randy Orton ($4.5 million)

Though he may be a 13-time World Champion, Grand Slam winner, Money in the Bank winner and two-time Royal Rumble winner, it's been quite a while since Randy Orton has been considered a full-time Superstar. Instead, Orton has spent the past few years as a part-time mid-carder, engaging in an intense feud last year with Jeff Hardy.
Despite his part-time status and a lower position of the card, Orton is raking home an impressive $4.5 million as part of the WWE. This is certainly impressive considering many mid-card stars will take home six figures, but Orton's name, career and star power has definitely helped him become one of the most recognisable, and profitable Superstars in WWE today. Though he may not be around for much longer, expect Orton to make plenty of more before he hangs up his boots.
