#2 John Cena ($55 Million)
Trending
Over the past few years, John Cena has begun to take Hollywood by storm. Still smack dab in the middle of his wrestling career, Cena has begun making a name for himself outside of the wrestling ring and on the big screen in major motion pictures.
His first action as a movie star came in 2006 in the WWE Film The Marine, then again a few years later starring in the WWE Film 12 Rounds.
Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE
For the next few years, John Cena made it his priority to become one of the biggest Superstars WWE has ever produced, and he did just that. Over a career that has lasted over 15 years, Cena has tied Ric Flair with 16 World Heavyweight Title reigns, which is the most in pro-wrestling history.
Cena will almost certainly break that record in the years to come and become the most decorated Heavyweight champion of all-time.
However, the seventeenth World title reign may have to wait. Over the past two years, Cena’s prospects in Hollywood have exploded thanks to his role in 2015 in the movie Trainwreck, where he starred alongside Amy Schumer, Bill Hader, and even Lebron James.
Since then, Cena has made the jump from wrestling Superstar to global icon, as he’s recently hosted Saturday Night Live and the 2016 ESPY Awards. He’s also begun filming and producing a reality show called American Grit for FOX and stars in Total Divas and Total Bellas as well.
Cena landed another huge Hollywood role in the film Sisters, starring alongside Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, and then a small role in Daddy's Home, that starred Mark Whalberg and Will Ferrell.
With upcoming roles in the new films The Wall and Daddy’s Home 2, it’s clear to see John Cena’s role in Hollywood is just starting to take shape and with rumors of Cena’s WWE days coming to an end sooner rather than later, he may be a mainstay on the big screen in the years to come.
