Special K 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 There was a thread that listed all of the WWE's current salaries a while ago. Quite a few make at least a mil a year. HHH and Cena each make about 10 mil, I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted September 13, 2006 Guys who were in WCW who managed to take care of their money ought to be in great shape. Booker T and Mysterio Jr. didn't build their houses through picking pennies up off of the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 Believe it or not Scott Hall is one of the richest. Scott lives in a house on a big piece of land that he bought a long time ago, and is very frugal. In his current interview with Keller he talks about how he has saved every cent of the 1.5 mill a year he made in WCW from 98-00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Buzz 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 I remember reading and hearing it time and time again that Sting is one of the richest men in wrestling. He always had a hefty contract and saved a lot of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spman 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 Hogan always seems like the obvious answer, but he always seems like the type to me that would always live either just at or maybe a little beyond his means and probably didn't save all that well, which is why he relies on those huge paychecks from Vince for his yearly match.

iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 Hogan keeps coming back because it's easy money, not necessarily because he needs it. I think it's pretty obvious who the rich ones are (the ones that are all leaving wrestling to pursue other avenues) and who the ones that throw all their money away.

10 Pounds 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 Even though it was his gimmick, I don't think Ted DiBiase must be one of the richest men in the business. Hogan made the most money back in the 80's, there's no question about it. I wonder however how much the others made. I'd say the other ones at the top would be Piper, Andre and Savage, but how much did DiBiase made during his run ? Even though he was in WCW when Bischoff threw crazy money at the wrestlers, I don't think his role warrented a huge contract. In the wrestlers' salaries thread from a few months back, I've read that Kane made considerable money, along with first-class privileges, whcih is something every WWE champion has in his contract.
