#6 Kurt Angle ($20-$25 Million)
Kurt Angle was a household name with a lot of sports fans before he ever stepped foot in the WWE. After becoming a two-time NCAA Division I champion in amateur wrestling and three-time All-American at Clarion University, Angle continued to wrestle and won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics (with a broken freakin’ neck) in Atlanta, Georgia.
A few years after his monumental Olympic victory, Angle signed with WWE and was a star instantly. A twenty-year pro-wrestling career in WWE and TNA (among other promotions) on top of his accomplishments in amateur wrestling has made Angle a pretty rich man.
However, it wasn’t just in-ring where Angle made his fortune. Angle has appeared in a few films and several TV shows, including an appearance on Duck Dynasty. Although he has made appearances in movies on TV, Angle is one of the few wrestlers on this list that made the majority of his fortune from the squared circle.
