The son of Jerry Jarrett and grandson of Eddie Marlin and promoter Christine Jarrett, Hendersonville, Tennessee's Jeff Jarrett has had quite the successful career in professional wrestling.

Jarrett's most significant accomplishment as an in-ring performer was becoming a four-time WCW World Champion, albeit all of his reigns occurring during the company's decline. He also held the Intercontinental Championship in WWE, while portraying a sort of updated version of the Honky Tonk Man.

The wrestler who once lip-synched "With My Baby Tonight" was even inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this past April. Of course, he is also a member of the far less prestigious Impact Hall of Fame — having been inducted the same year as senior referee Earl Hebner.

To add to his credentials, Jarrett co-founded Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and would later launch Global Force Wrestling. He is the only third-generation star on our list who has had success as both a wrestler and a wrestling promoter.

Between the two promotions and his time in the ring, Double J has managed to amass a net worth of around $15 million.
