The Rock
10. Chris Jericho – $18 Million
Currently performing with All Elite Wrestling, Chris Jericho remains one of the longest-tenured global names still competing in professional wrestling. His career began outside the United States, with breakout runs in Japan and Mexico, before rising through ECW and WCW and eventually becoming a staple performer in WWE. Jericho later expanded into entertainment beyond the ring. As the lead vocalist of the band Fozzy, he established a second career in music alongside acting, television hosting and guest appearances across multiple platforms. His estimated fortune stands at $18 million.
9. The Bella Twins – $20 Million
Nikki and Brie Bella are the only duo on this list, combining their earnings for a shared total of $20 million. Central figures of WWE’s Divas era, the twins later crossed into mainstream success through reality television with Total Divas and Total Bellas. Following their in-ring retirement, the Bellas diversified into fashion, wellness, beauty products, wine labels and digital media ventures. Their podcast, The Nikki & Brie Show, remains one of their most profitable media extensions. Nikki also made her in-ring return during the 2025 Royal Rumble, marking her first appearance in several years.
8. Stacy Keibler – $25 Million
Stacy Keibler first entered the industry as a valet in WCW before becoming one of WWE’s most recognizable personalities of the early 2000s. Her post-wrestling career transitioned into film, modeling and magazine publishing.

Her wealth also reflects her marriage to advertising technology CEO Jared Pobre, founder of Future Ads. Her estimated net worth is $25 million.
7. Hulk Hogan – $25 Million
Few wrestlers have ever reached the level of mainstream recognition achieved by Hulk Hogan. Dominating the 1980s wrestling boom, Hogan helped bring professional wrestling into American pop culture on a massive scale. Financial setbacks from a highly publicized divorce and legal expenses significantly reduced his overall worth in later years. Despite that decline, Hogan maintained a fortune of $25 million from wrestling royalties, endorsements, merchandise sales and recurring media work including his reality series, Hogan Knows Best. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 76 in August 2025.
6. Stone Cold Steve Austin – $30 Million
Regularly credited as the central figure of WWE’s Attitude Era, Stone Cold Steve Austin reshaped televised wrestling in the late 1990s. A six time WWE Champion and three time Royal Rumble winner, Austin remains one of the industry’s most popular figures decades after retiring from active competition. His income now stems from television hosting, film appearances, his podcast network and ownership of a successful craft beer label. His wealth currently stands at $30 million.
5. John Cena – $80 Million
A 17 time world champion, John Cena has successfully bridged wrestling and Hollywood like very few before him. After dominating WWE for nearly two decades, Cena established himself as a blockbuster film and television star.

With a farewell tour underway and his final WWE appearance scheduled for December 13th in the nation's capital, Cena continues to thrive financially with a fortune of about $80 million.
4. Triple H – $250 Million
Paul “Triple H” Levesque transformed from an elite in-ring performer into one of the most powerful executives in wrestling. Now serving as WWE’s Chief Content Officer, he oversees company creative while holding extensive equity in the brand.

With ownership stakes valued in the tens of millions, Triple H’s total net worth has reached $250 million.
3. Stephanie McMahon – $250 Million
