#4 Triple H ($40 Million)
Trending
Most people that are reading this article knew that Triple H’s name would appear somewhere in the top 10.
However, I don’t know if many people expected him to be this high on the list. A wrestling career that has spanned over 20 years and counting, “The Game” made a lot of money as one of WWE’s top guys for most of his career. However, it was Triple H’s decision to begin dating Stephanie McMahon in the late 90’s that really catapulted him up this list.
Triple H married Steph in 2003 and was put in line to help run the company with her and her father, Vince when his wrestling days were over. However, Triple H has balanced keeping his wrestling career going, while being the Executive VP of Talent, Live Events, and Creative for the company and has even founded NXT, which is used as a developmental brand for WWE.
According to TheRichest.com, Trips made over $5 million from 2012-2013 from his talent contract, his salary as Executive VP of Talent and the value of the stock he has in the company. With those figures in mind, it isn’t difficult to see how Trips came in at #4 on this list.
