Shane McMahon went a very different direction from some of the other wrestlers to appear on this list. And yes, in this case, despite being a member of the McMahon family and involved behind the scenes, we're treating and calling Shane O' Mac a wrestler, because his in-ring work was frankly spectacular, and well beyond the call of duty for a guy who simply could have coasted on his family's name.

However, it eventually became clear that Stephanie McMahon and husband Triple H would be heir(s) to the McMahon throne in the WWE. And as a result, Shane ventured into other interests, announcing his resignation from the company in 2009. 

Since leaving the WWE, McMahon has become  CEO of China Broadband Inc. (providing broadband services in parts of China), sits on the board of directors for sports management firm International Sports Management (which represents golfers like Lee Westwood, Darren Clarke, and George Coetzee, as well as many Cricketers), and is Chairman of the Board for You On Demand, China's first VOD/PPV service.

Frankly, Shane O' Mac is doing very, very well for himself even outside the family business.
