11 Mind-Blowing WWE Wrestler Salaries That Were Worth The Money

10. Hulk Hogan - $10 Million A Year In Late Eighties WWF

Hulk Hogan's earnings have always been a complicated matter, as he had bonus percentages and contract statuses that no other pro wrestler was granted. When WCW signed him, he had all manner of additions to his contract, which ultimately saw him earning over ten million a year. Ten million was roughly the sum he is thought to have been making in his late eighties WWF peak. By 1993, Vince McMahon felt he wasn't worth such investment, and let him leave. But he absolutely was worth that much in the late eighties. Hogan was the WWF. He was the guy carrying the company to record breaking business and filling arenas. He was the guy selling WrestleMania as a Superbowl of wrestling. And his merchandise alone was a source of ridiculous riches for Vince McMahon. The WWE was built on the back of Hulkamania, and it was Vince and Hogan who got the richest off it.
