Kurt Angle has always had a head for business, and following his Olympic gold medal win in 1996 he featured in various media and endorsement deals. Personal projects and investments have always ensured Angle has done well financially, and his relationship with his manager Dave Hawk has helped get Kurt involved in several money making projects. Most recently Kurt has invested in the line of nutrition and lifestyle products. He has also had some high profile film roles, as well as television appearances. Pro Wrestling will always be Kurt's big earner. He currently enjoys one of the best deals on the entire TNA roster, and spent the majority of his peak years as a star performer in the WWE. Working for McMahon, Kurt was one of the very top earners as a main event star and top merchandise seller. McMahon originally saw Angle as a potential Hulk Hogan level act, a man they could book as an 'American Hero', but injury curtailed Kurt's ability to feature. Despite his injury woes, Angle has managed to amass a considerable fortune of $20 million.
