7. Forbes Has Vince McMahon's Net Worth At $1.2 Billion
It was reported earlier in 2015 that one Vince McMahon had fallen off the Forbes billionaire list. Of course, the billionaire idea was something perfect for the evil 'Mr. McMahon' character. Rubbing his money in the face of everyone who was in earshot, Vince was a riot as the pompous, financially bloated villain. This week, Forbes interestingly had McMahon back in the billionaire club. On their website, Vince McMahon's net worth is listed at around $1.2 billion. This means WWE's principal owner would qualify to be back on the list of the world's billionaires. Digging a little deeper, what does this say about the current finances in World Wrestling Entertainment? Share prices for the company have been down lately, but it appears McMahon hasn't been affected. When McMahon was previously on the list, WWE was a altogether more lucrative organisation. The 'Attitude' Era drew an incredible amount of money, and the promotion traded high share prices for investors. Rightly so, there were fantastic returns on those investments. It's interesting to see Forbes list Vince as a billionaire, yet not have him back on the list.
