15 Richest WWE Superstars Of All Time

1. The Rock (Net Worth: $125m)

A lot of people were curious to see how The Rock would fare when he ceased being a full-time wrestling in 2003 and instead set his sights on Hollywood. Pretty well, as it turns out. Rock, along with Steve Austin, was one of the biggest stars of the 90's and early 2000's and he was paid accordingly. Rock was pulling in millions before the move to Hollywood but, once he got there, his earnings exceeded his wildest expectations. The Rock (or Dwayne Johnson if you prefer) is one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. He was the top-grossing actor of 2013 and his films made about $1.3bn at the box-office. That is a staggering figure. Johnson works a lot and stars in a variety of films every year. He is paid, on average, about $10m per film. In 2013 alone he earned around $52m from his work in film. Rock has had several high-profile matches for WWE in the last few years, including two WrestleMania main events with John Cena which did over one million buys each. Nobody comes close to touching the Rock's wealth, past or present. (credit: Forbes)
