Most people just assume that all WWE superstars are loaded with money, and that’s definitely not true for every star on the roster, but it is true for some. One family that certainly isn’t hurting for money is the McMahon family and they made a significant amount of cash in 2016.
Shane McMahon made his return to WWE in 2016 and he’s probably glad he did, because F4Wonline.com reports that Shane made $2,150,000 last year as a performer. Shane McMahon even managed to outgross his sister as Stephanie made $2,000,000 in 2016 as an executive and a performer. Shane made a little more in the long run because he was paid as a main eventer for a couple of pay-per-views.
Of course WWE is the house that McMahon built and the McMahon that currently sits at the top of the company food chain is none other than Vince McMahon. Vince took in a hefty salary in 2016 as he earned $5,348,624. Kevin Dunn also earned an impressive amount of money as his salary was $5,050,727.
Triple H is one of the busiest people in the wrestling industry as he’s the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative for WWE, the mastermind behind NXT and he’s also a part time wrestler. The 14 time WWE World Champion was paid $948,113 for his work as an executive, and his overall salary for 2016 was $3,993,417.
It’s a long way to the top if you want to be rich, and it’s not always easy to get there, but one thing’s for sure, you’re not hurting for money if your name is Shane McMahon, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H or Kevin Dunn.
