A few shocking things in there for me which is either surprising or possibly they have their facts wrong. I mean wow if the Big Show is 4th on this list, just how? so what do you guys think of this list? surprised? or who would you have maybe expected to see up there who isnt already?

[Ruien]

Big Show had an instant classic movie come out!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Big Show signed a HUGE contract when he left WCW to come to WWE. Something like 10 years, $10 million. Dunno what his new deal is worth but I'd assume it's pretty nice.

I really feel sorry for Hulk. So many years traveling, wrestling, fucking up his back and hips, and that fucking ex-wife of his took most of his money.

Some would call it karma.

the same for flair, i am suprised flair still has 5 mil

[Corporate CockSnogger]

They missed off David Arquette.

[Lock Jaw]

I guess this was thread worthy.

[Big Vic]

HHH has to be worth more now he practically owns the company......The Million dollar Man must be #28.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

:foc: Hogan

Sorry LJ just realised you posted the list in the 1000,001 replies thread, me bad :'( but you may continue to post in my thread :D

maby they can't count stephs wealth, maby they have a pre nup.

It is amazing that CM Punk is only 1/2 million away from Nash despite Nash being a "marquee" name for 2 decades more than Punk. Jim Ross always said that Nash did a great job saving his money (he obviously did) but I figured with his insane WCW contract he would have much more than that.

[MoFo]

Chyna is making parody porn flicks for a living, I doubt she is a millionaire.

[Savio]

Nash has also been in quite a few movies over the years, although I doubt he got too much for being in them.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I can't wait until Miz is worth more than Hogan.

[erickman]

yeah i am suprised at nash too, i heard him talk about driving the same car he drove before his wcw contract.

Yeah, I can only imagine Paul Wight owns a healthy index fund or two full of blue chip stocks so that gains gradually offset expenses. It also helps that WWE pays his two first-class seats per flight!

[Curd]

Chyna is making parody porn flicks for a living, I doubt she is a millionaire.

I'm sure a lot of those royalties are from the shows she cameo'd on during 1999 and 2000. There was "Celebrity Deathmatch" and this other clay-mation show with two guys and in they were booked to be squashed into the clay canvas by Chyna. That two-clay-guys-with-adventures show only lasted one season on MTV, IIRC.

[Autobahn]

lol at Ric Flair having ANY money...

[JimmyMess]

Yeah but Nash was one of the first "big money" guys and what he made in those guaranteed contracts is not that much when you look at what the boys make now.

I heard him say in a shoot that his first three years at WCW were 750k,850k,950k or something like that.

And as WWF champion he was prob only making 450-500k.

I'd say he did amazing to be where he is at now. Granted he was up in the millions for the last couple of years in WCW. But he's a great investor I suppose.



A huge shock to me is Hogan's.... I heard that back in the nWo days he was making $1 million a month. Granted the whole divorce thing basically raped his life but I thought he was still pretty liquid

[JimmyMess]

lol at Ric Flair having ANY money...

No shit, right? I thought he was broke as a joke. I assume they are counting his limousine rides, jet flights and wheeling dealingness?

[Keith]

Didn't Hogan also have to pay a huge amount of money to the family of the guy who was riding with Nick when he had his accident?

[JimmyMess]

They sued Hogan but I'm not sure where that went in the courts

[Fignuts]

Really wish celebrity deathmatch came back.

[Savio]

Really wish celebrity deathmatch came back.
It did and it sucked.

[Skippord]

Edge being worth more than Brock is a little surprising

[Gertner]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

:foc: Hogan

Hogan is why you watch wrestling on television still. He's done nothing wrong in his personal life. Just jealous fat virgins that their workrate queers couldn't draw like Hogan did.

[Shisen Kopf]

Bushwhacker Luke must be #30

[whiteyford]

Surprised at Goldberg, read he was on $4-5million a year in wcw at its peak.

[Volare]

Yeah, I can only imagine Paul Wight owns a healthy index fund or two full of blue chip stocks so that gains gradually offset expenses. It also helps that WWE pays his two first-class seats per flight!

I thought than him and CM Punk actually had their own buses...

[JimmyMess]

I thought than him and CM Punk actually had their own buses...

Yeah they do.

I think however that Show is one of the guys who gets to take the WWE jet as well.

[ClockShot]

Surprised nobody mentioned JBL.

He's a money genius, what the fuck happened? A few bad investments?

Figured Cena would be a peg or 2 lower on the list after the divorce. I don't think he's sittin' on $35 mil. now.

[RiX1024]

I thought Ric Flair was well skint compared to Hogan.

It hasn't been exactly wonderful for anybody on the stock market in awhile.

[Emperor Smeat]

A bit surprised at Big Show having more value than Triple H considering Triple H should be benefiting from having direct involvement with the WWE company.

Also shocked Mark Henry isn't on the list considering his 10 year deal.

Del Rio's net worth makes a lot of sense considering how huge he was in Mexico and his family connections in wrestling.

[Nicky Fives]

pretty sure HHH has some stock/options that aren't being taken into account.....not to mention what Stephanie's worth is.....

[CSL]

pretty sure the whole thing's bollocks tbh

[Curd]

Didn't Hogan also have to pay a huge amount of money to the family of the guy who was riding with Nick when he had his accident?

"Around $5 million" in a settlement, according to the St. Petersburg Times and reposted on TPWW:

[Jordan]

There HAVE to be names missing from the list. Antonio Inoki has to be in the top 10.

[Lock Jaw]

He's foreign, so he doesn't count.

[Saving Grace]

suprised JBL is in the middle of the list, if you added his wife's investments/net worth in with his i'm sure he would bust up to the top of that list
