Jerry Lawler 20th

Lawler isn't a surprise, he's been in the business for over 40 years when Memphis was an absolute hot bed for Wrestling, also he's been an almost constant in the WWF/WWE for 20 years, I'd say he has a good shout of actually making the most RAW appearances ever from any on air talent

If anything I'd say he's not worth as much as I'd have expected

Rock would have been asking Flair for spare change if he didn't have about 18 ex's to support

How on earth is Alberto Del Rio is so rich?

He's only been on WWE TV for about three years.

As Dos Caras Jr, he was massive in Mexico which is as big a hotbed for wrestling anywhere in the world

Ps love the fact that Mick Foley is 6 places higher than JBL, proof that stock market sucess is no substitue to throwing yourself onto very sharp/very hard things

But that is like saying that Peter Shilton should be on the richest footballers list because of him being around for so long.

The point being was that Wrestlers wouldnt have earned as much back in the day and now he is commentator.

I reckon he'll be on big money as a commentator though...not that he should be as he is totally useless.

Big Show worth more than HHH?

Reckon a couple of New York Times best selling books assisted Foley there.

Self written aswell. Not ghost written, so no royalty sharing.

You forget also that its all down to investment choices they make. Robbie Fowler is like the 4th richest English footballer or something, because he invested his cash wisely. I guess a lot of wrestlers blow theirs on booze and drugs and things.

I guess Big Show is a wise investor - to be so high on the list.

He's also appeared a lot more films than most wrestlers, which pay a lot better than wrestling. I imagine he has been on a fairly high salary with the WWE for most of his career as well because there aren't many guys out there his size so it's not like they can just pick anybody to replace him like they could with somebody like Heath Slater, or The Miz.

He invested in Broadway musicals early on in his career which is where he made his fortune.

That sounds like a joke - but I don't get it.

Big Show?
BIG SHOW??

ah forget it.

Oh wow. It was too obvious
As obvious as a punch in the face

Like a WoMD?

i was expecting it to go rock, cena, trips. im guessing merchandise is part of that too? peter shilton wont be in many dvds or have many personalised t-shirts on sale or appearance fees atm

Quite surprised Mick Foley isn't higher up, he's legendary for never spending any money. Obviously he didn't make the huge money until his last couple of years in the business before he semi-retired, but I assumed he'd have made a lot more than that, especially with his books as well.

Kevin Nash is another one. He made massive money the second he went to WCW and even had a Favoured Nations clause in his contract, so he was essentially the best paid in the company...and we all know how silly the contracts got in WCW.

Yeah totally... except its not really like saying that at all though is it?

Lawler was the guy everyone paid to go and see so it's only logical that he'd make the most money coming out of Memphis and if you think a 20 year on air career in the WWF/E through-out it's most profitable period won't make you a multi-Millionaire then that's up to you

Why are people so surprised where certain guys are, its like some people think the only way to make money from wrestling or association with it is if it comes directly from wwe dime.

Big Show was on 1mil a year when he first signed on to wwe couple that with the odd movie appearance he has made would be a reason why he is so high up

Also, it reflects how well individual stars manage their money...

Brock Lesnar has done very well there.

A 2 year WWE career, then 4 years in the UFC = $12.5 million.

The man just prints money.

I am amazed that Jarrett or Sting are not on that list.

or Steiner!!

I'm surprised Undertaker is so low, i thought he invested heavily in real estate?

Must have all been in New Orleans

Just out of sheer nosey-ness, how do people know how much someone's net worth is and compiled this list?

His upgrade probably cost him a pretty penny.

Salary details are easy enough to come by as companys such as wwe will have to submit records to their version of hmrc or publsih them in some format for share holders, same goes for any money made by individuals via investments, companies, real estate etc.

That's probably an underestimate - he had 2 $100+ million dollar ppv UFC bouts and would likely have been on a % deal.

For someone who likes leading a quite life on a farm he doesn't half love the paper chase.

Brock also owns his own Gym and the Deathclutch brand, so he'll be getting a few pennies from that.

Its worth bearing note that Rocky made a good 75% of that money in Hollywood.

I wonder what the guys in the lower ranks pay is like. If they travel together and share hotel rooms together I cant imagine its a whole lot.

Punk has made quite a quick buck hasn't he?

Very interesting reading.... Hogan & Flair really have been taken to the cleaners by ex wife's! What were their lawyers doing? Haven't Austin, Cena, Angle, Hart, Taker, Edge all had divorces too?

Flair's getting divorced again now too for the 4th time, poor sap.

I thought Premier League footballers were fools for getting hitch but Ric Flair really should know better by now

Where's Ted Dibase Snr, surely his son should be up there considering the trust fund that was set up

You think by now he'd have heard of something called pre-nup.

That's why you gotta love Flair, he's only interested in the clunge, all sense goes out the window when a new bit of stuff howles WOW at him

Although Kofi isn't 'Lower Ranks', him and Punk are "Road-wives", so I can't imagine he makes all that much.

Doesnt Ryder hang out with them aswell?

How many of them do you think hide in shop door ways when the dork Cena walks round the corner

"Phones on silent and get in here lads, Cena's on the babysham"

To be fair, car sharing dosn't mean you can't financially afford to run you're own car, my dad earns a decent living and could easily afford to pay the money it costs him to travel back and forward to work each week but he still car shares as paying half even if you can afford it is still better than paying full whack, point is if you enjoy someones company and you are travelling to the same location, it makes more sense for a few guys to split the cost than to pay the full amount individually

Oh, don't get me wrong, that's not how it was meant to come across! Of course, sharing the costs is going to be a good thing, and I'm sure Kofi is quite well off financially. Just meant that as he gets paid less than Punk, it makes it easier for him to go around with Punk.
