Big Show - $1.2 million
Big Show has been around the wrestling business for nearly two decades now so his entry in the list is quite obvious. The best part about Show’s run with the WWE will probably be his willingness to do every stupid angle that the creative comes up with even if it means he has to wear a diaper and dance like a baby.
The annual salary of the World’s largest Athlete is $1.2 million. And if that was not enough, Big Show has a personal tour bus that takes him to the places he wants to go. Show earns some money from his film projects as well. Not bad for a guy with 1436 turns so far right?
Sheamus - $1.3 million
A lot of people might find the inclusion of Sheamus in the list a bit surprising. The Celtic Warrior has not been around the block for a long time like majority of the other superstars in the list, but he has piled up enough star power to earn an annual paycheck of $1.3 million.
He also gets his travel and accommodation expenses from the WWE apart from the already fat paycheck. He started his WWE career back in 2009 and is apparently good friends with Triple H. This might explain the whole deal of Sheamus getting more money than most of the senior wrestlers in the WWE roster.
