10 Highest-Paid WWE Wrestlers Of 2021
7. Goldberg - $3 Million
Aside from the fellow who sits atop this collection of big-time moneymakers, nobody makes more from as little actual in-ring work as Da Man who pays Da Bills.
With it very much being common knowledge at this point that Goldberg is only contracted to perform in around two to three matches a year, the fact that the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion is still able to reel in a jaw-dropping $3 million-a-year is likely enough to make most current full-time talents reconsider their negotiation tactics.
Smashing himself through and or against Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley in 2021, with the latter war stretching over two brutal PPV showcases, Goldberg at least hasn't grabbed the headlines in as controversial a fashion as he did over the course of 2020, a year which saw him seemingly pulverise Bray Wyatt's aura in a matter of seconds.
Big Bill's current deal with WWE spans through 2023, so you can bet you'll see him bulldozing fools and protecting Gage from more monsters on at least a few more occasions over the next two years. And would you really put it past McMahon to strap his bald 54-year-old behemoth again before that contract reaches its dramatic end?
Brace yourselves...
